T-I-G-E-R-S

The Memphis Tigers kept the game closer than it should've been against SMU last night...

Here are some observations:

- Pierre Niles is a great story - the dude's just slaw, has no handles, and can't ball... stunting is not his habit and his scholarship needs to be removed faster than his consumption of malt liquor. *I thought about saying faster than his consumption of cheeseburgers - but that's old jokes*
- The Tigers are going to go as far this season as Tyreke Evans takes them...no doubt.
- Rob Sallie needs to lose the Iverson gear.
- Anderson is a valuable commodity - I still don't think he's anything special. Notice that his productivity went up as soon as Tyreke's did... he's a product of the environment. Sort of like a Kerry Collins. Sure you're going to the Pro Bowl, but do you really deserve to be there?

Another situation to address: Scholarships -

The Tigers have four signed players with the potential of adding two more... They are losing less than 6 players - meaning someone has to be cut (please be Pierre).

As for Saturday's game - Tiger's will win. Does anyone honestly think the boys in blue are scared of a bunch of white boys out of Washington. No contest.


In other news...

TJ Houshmandzadeh is wanting out of Cincy... this dude is using every minute at his disposal to make sure everyone knows he's not wanting to be there. Why would he want to stay? He hasn't committed any crimes (zing!) He'd be a good fit in Carolina, and the Pats will be in the middle of it I'm sure.

Michael Phelps...I had to address it, the rest of the world is...

He should be chastized for using his fame to get wasted and score with hot college chicks. I'm appalled.

The funny thing is that you only see a bunch dude's who can't get hot chicks, and ugly chicks bitching about Phelps. The rest of the world (including myself) nodded silently at the story and said "Well played, my friend. Well played."

And lastly...

I guess in an attempt to rekindle the football rivalry and add a little bit of friction between the two coaches Lane Kiffin called Urban Meyer a cheater... And that's exactly what one should do as an unproven coach. You have to sometimes put your balls out there and call out the defending national champ. The only way I see them becoming friends now is if one was chasing the other with a knife and his pants fell down... they would then laugh about it and have beers instead.

Out.
