Reggie Theus. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, that's right - Reggie Theus. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He can coach, he can recruit, has NBA experience, a good personality...  and therefore has all the likeness a player would want when looking for a school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is it - he's our last option. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this doesn't work out then expect Derrick Kellog, Scott Drew, or Andy Kennedy leading the charge at the Forum. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all I got for now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2362919958740529598-7395388587087502373?l=cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/7395388587087502373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/7395388587087502373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2009/04/this-is-embarassing.html' title='This is embarassing...'/><author><name>The Drew Crew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05563603078963235924</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00410340814553866469'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362919958740529598.post-797434646569695984</id><published>2009-04-01T12:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-01T13:01:38.271-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bruce Pearl...</title><content type='html'>Let me make things perfectly clear: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a Memphis fan I am programmed to dislike anything that is UT related, so at this point in time I hate Bruce Pearl. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate Bruce Pearl very much the same way as I hated John Calipari before he arrived to Memphis... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Bruce Pearl decided to coach at Memphis I would love him.  Once Bruce Pearl left Memphis I would hate him once again.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So is life...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post today is inspired by the rumor floating around that Bruce Pearl would strongly consider a Memphis offer if the money was right... DO IT!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pearl and Calipari are of the same mold - they are led by ego. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Memphis he would be the toast of the town, In Knoxville Pearl plays 3rd string to Football and Pat Summit.  There is no way in hell they would pay Pearl more than than Lane Kiffin or Summit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's the worst that could happen?  He'd say no after getting a raise from UT? The very same raise that would cause the other two coaches to get raises because there is no way the 3rd fiddle could ever make more money that the other two. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we cause UT to spend more money... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love it - Let's do it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Piss off Cal and Piss off Knoxville in one fell swoop of the pen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My coaching list has changed since Anderson re-signed with Mizzou - &lt;br /&gt;1. Pearl - he's the total package (I still hate him today though)&lt;br /&gt;2. Still Tim Floyd&lt;br /&gt;3. Still Sean Miller&lt;br /&gt;4. A new one to add... Andy Kennedy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a bonus - Bruce Pearl would be highly accepted at the COGIC convention if he wore a blue suit.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2362919958740529598-797434646569695984?l=cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/797434646569695984'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/797434646569695984'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2009/04/bruce-pearl.html' title='Bruce Pearl...'/><author><name>The Drew Crew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05563603078963235924</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00410340814553866469'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362919958740529598.post-5647653362087474352</id><published>2009-03-31T07:30:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-31T08:12:49.648-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cal's Gone...</title><content type='html'>Everything's done but the press conference.  Believe it... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's true, It's true - Kurt Angle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know a lot of people "in the know", but I will quote the hell out of the ones who do know factual information and here's how it went down:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Cal got an offer from Kentucky, he then went to RC Johnson, the Memphis athletic director, and asked him to match it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Johnson then low-balled Calipari and that in turn caused Cal to say screw you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Next, Cal held a meeting with his players and many false reports ran rampant for the rest of the day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Rich Memphis boosters along with Fred Smith met with Cal last evening to convince him to stay and they matched the Kentucky offer... by this time it was too late. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expect a press conference at the latest tomorrow... Now, my feelings about the situation: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can't blame the guy for wanting to coach at Kentucky... It's Kentucky. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But you can be angry at the guy for the following statement: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“This is where I want to coach, and my name will be tied to every job that’s open, and our fans I think have gotten used to it.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said this on Friday, and met with Kentucky on Saturday. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the money, I've heard that he's been offered 8 yrs, 35 million.  That's a lot of money for a guy whose never won a championship don't you think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thoughts I've had: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What kind of jerk would whore himself out for this kind of money when we're in an economical crisis?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can think of five SEC coaches off the top of my head that would flat out expose Calipari and out-coach him at every turn.  I honestly don't think it's going to be all roses at Kentucky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If he does in fact take his prized recruits and has a bad season next year there are going to be a lot of pissed of Wildcat fans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other BS Crap I heard: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cal is lobbying for Tony Barbee - for the love of God, No.  The dude is close to being on the hot seat at UTEP - don't give us this bobo-ass Cal cronie...   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Possible Coaching replacements: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are three candidates in my mind and three candidates only:(In particular order)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 - Mike Anderson - he's an ok recruiter but does more with less than any other coach out there. With his coaching ability, the name of Memphis behind him, and NBA arena it's not wrong to assume that he could roll through the conference as well.  (Just not next season obviously) - And remember people, rolling through the conference plus winning a few non-conference games gets you a good seed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 - Tim Floyd - his basketball style is boring but he recruits as good as anyone else out there.  His last four recruiting classes have included: 2006 - 3 four star recruits, 2007 - OJ Mayo, 2008 - DeMar DeRozen (the #1 overall SF), and 2009 - 5 star PF Renardo Sidney and 4 star SG Noel Johnson.  With talent like that you could go undefeated in our weak ass conference. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 - Sean Miller - the darkhorse, Xavier's head coach.  He's coming off an elite 8 appearance in 2008 and a sweet 16 appearance in 2009.  He can flat out coach.  His recruiting ability remains to be seen but I would be curious to see how well he could do recruiting out of Memphis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do I want Cal to go? Of course not.  Do I think he sucks now? Absolutely. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This prick has dropped a napalm bomb on the Memphis program and will raid it of its life... at least for next season. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coming back for sure next season: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Willie Kemp, Pierre, Preston, Mack.  Everyone else is iffy - I hate my life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that's it.  My thoughts, my hopes, my dreams (gay I know). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a fun ride, now it's time to turn the page.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2362919958740529598-5647653362087474352?l=cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/5647653362087474352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/5647653362087474352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2009/03/cals-gone.html' title='Cal&apos;s Gone...'/><author><name>The Drew Crew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05563603078963235924</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00410340814553866469'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362919958740529598.post-7890754299735716892</id><published>2009-03-12T10:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-12T10:26:37.124-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A look back at my smarts.</title><content type='html'>Remember when I wrote &lt;a href="http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2008/08/boston-should-be-happy.html"&gt;this?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't completely right but I was still pretty freaking smart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So instead of picking up Sabathia as predicted the Red Sox grabbed John Smoltz... you know - Cy Young Winner, eight time all-star.

In a Cowboys related story, I will now scratch Tony Romo off the list of potential good fantasy quarterbacks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess it's pretty clear that the Lions of Detroit will be drafting a quarterback this season.  Dan Orslovsky - gone, Jon Kitna - gone.  My guess is that they'll take a QB with the 1st pick and then spend the rest of the draft taking defensive players.  Now if I were a junior in college named Mathew Stafford or Mark Sanchez and had one more year of eligibility you better believe that I'm headed back to school.  Detroit = most miserable city in America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Memphis Tigers are now 27-3.  That's pretty incredible considering the start to the season... I've said this to many people and once to guy named One-eyed Willie - they will go as far as Tyreke takes them.  Only Tyreke and that's all.  The rest of the team are role players.  Let's look at it like this: Tyreke is Coke, Dozier and Antonio are Diet Coke, the rest of the team is Big K products. Speaking of Big K - they should make a beer.  It'd be smart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the Tigers tournament seed - there's no way you can give a team with 30 or more wins anything worse than a #2 seed.  I want a #2 seed.  If they get the #1 seed it will be the worst one and they will end up with a shitty division. If they get a #2 seed, it will be a good one and they will have an easier division. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rumors - I heard that the next commit to the Tiger b-ball team will be at the Memphis/Tulane game tomorrow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's not much else to report - I'm pretty sure the Tiger football schedule will be announced soon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS - Never ask a guy why they call him one-eyed willie...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2362919958740529598-5046342979953900446?l=cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/5046342979953900446'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/5046342979953900446'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2009/03/detroit-terrible.html' title='Detroit = Terrible'/><author><name>The Drew Crew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05563603078963235924</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00410340814553866469'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362919958740529598.post-7703311016813135136</id><published>2009-02-19T07:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-19T07:32:27.994-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Three white centers... kill me now</title><content type='html'>The Grizzlies need a new team slogan: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now Imagine a guy with a real powerful voice saying these... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Grizzlies! Send your white centers to us."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Grizzlies! You may not be intimidated by our collection of white boys, but we stil have money."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's right.  We have too many white boys. That's weird of me to say simply because I'm white.  But if you look at the state of the NBA the best players in the game are not caucasian.  How long will it take before the Grizz can adapt to this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only reason I'm writing all this is because Memphis traded for Chris Mihm... let me repeat, Memphis traded for Chris Mihm?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cannot think of a lesser intimidating lineup than a rotation that features Marc Gasol, Darko Milicic, and Chris Mihm.  (Darko wins the toughman contest simply because he's flat out nuts). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that's the problem with the Grizz... they adapt to the NBA's trends later than everyone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about it: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The foreign invasion&lt;/strong&gt; - yes there are fantastic players from around the world but it's abundantly clear that you cannot win a championship building your team around a softie from Europe - (see Dirk Nowitzki)... but that didn't stop the Griz from trying with Pau... aka Dirk Nowitzki does the Peace Corps - and that's saying a lot considering Dirk is a giant weiner. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The high powered offense&lt;/strong&gt; - After the league figured out a way to stop it they brought in Marc Iavoroni.  Keep in mind that Phoenix failed at this... twice.  We all saw how that worked out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So who knows what's going to happen - maybe they'll get it right if they ever did build around OJ Mayo, but then again we're talking about a franchise here who has three 7 foot tall white centers.  And other than Bill Walton and Kevin McHale teams featuring a white center never make it.  Look at Rick Smits, Eric Montross, Shawn Bradley, Todd Macculloch, and finally Pau Gasol.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Walton and McHale would not be as good if they played in today's game*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2362919958740529598-7703311016813135136?l=cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/7703311016813135136'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/7703311016813135136'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2009/02/three-white-centers-kill-me-now.html' title='Three white centers... kill me now'/><author><name>The Drew Crew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05563603078963235924</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00410340814553866469'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362919958740529598.post-7544196393953519714</id><published>2009-02-11T08:54:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-11T09:36:16.693-08:00</updated><title type='text'>It's bright outside...</title><content type='html'>We're ending each topic with a look on the bright side of things today... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roberto Alomar has AIDS?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's just weird... I always wondered what happened to that guy.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Were the AIDS performance enhancing?  Low blow I know. It's also now being reported that he knowingly had AIDS and then had sex with his girlfriend.  That's attempted murder.  But look on the bright side of things.  At least now he wont be getting raped in prison and will just be tossing salads.  "I prefer syrup." And I'm not just sure he has AIDS, I'm HIV positive (South Park anyone as I put my hand in the air for a hi-five).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brett Favre says he's &lt;a href="http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/11366053"&gt;retiring&lt;/a&gt;...again.  I swear to Moses that if this guy hogs the media spotlight all summer again I will shoot him directly into his throwing hand from close range with an elephant gun.  The bright side - we may not have to hear Tony Kornheiser talk about his love for Favre and as a bonus we won't have to see him play again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tigers play Tulsa tonight...shouldn't be too bad of a game, but I still don't think Memphis will lose. Tyreke will have his normal 25 and the Tigers will continue to dominate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of the Tigers - Gonzaga game was awesome.  I never realized how yellow Digger Phelps teeth were until that game: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HEh7i9JMzUk/SZMIeMp-dhI/AAAAAAAAAHk/7dTrJAyi1Iw/s1600-h/digger.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 314px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HEh7i9JMzUk/SZMIeMp-dhI/AAAAAAAAAHk/7dTrJAyi1Iw/s320/digger.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301590501231588882" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But look on the bright side Digger...at least there's not anything out there like hi-def tv that would make it easier to spot. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non-sports related: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris Brown smacked Rhianna and now it's being reported that she might need plastic surgery: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some thoughts...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-She should've been smacked when she released "Disturbia".&lt;br /&gt;-He probably had to tell her twice. &lt;br /&gt;-Supposedly it started over a text he received...If you're that rich you should have two cell phones...rookie mistake. &lt;br /&gt;-So an R &amp; B singer/Rapper punched his girlfriend? What are you gonna tell me next - that Elvis is dead?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She needs to look on the bright side and think of the plastic surgery like getting a new car except it's her face.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2362919958740529598-7544196393953519714?l=cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/7544196393953519714'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/7544196393953519714'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2009/02/its-bright-outside.html' title='It&apos;s bright outside...'/><author><name>The Drew Crew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05563603078963235924</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00410340814553866469'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HEh7i9JMzUk/SZMIeMp-dhI/AAAAAAAAAHk/7dTrJAyi1Iw/s72-c/digger.bmp' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362919958740529598.post-4918520802921452729</id><published>2009-02-06T14:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-06T14:28:57.403-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm a genius</title><content type='html'>As predicted in my last post - Coach Cal's already clearing space for his incoming badass recruits by kicking Matt Simpkins off the team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incoming recruits with scholarships:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Xavier Henry, Nolan Dennis, Darnell Dodson, Will Coleman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DeMarcus Cousins - maybe...&lt;br /&gt;John Wall - maybe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outgoing players with scholarships: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simpkins, Antonio Anderson, Robert Dozier, Jeff Robinson, Tyreke... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need one more...My money's on Angel Garcia never making it - but my hopes and dreams are on Pierre. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone once told me if I tried hard enough my dreams could come true...

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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another situation to address:  Scholarships - &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael Phelps...I had to address it, the rest of the world is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He should be chastized for using his fame to get wasted and score with hot college chicks.  I'm appalled. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And lastly...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2362919958740529598-6659484592771703426?l=cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/6659484592771703426'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/6659484592771703426'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2009/02/t-i-g-e-r-s.html' title='T-I-G-E-R-S'/><author><name>The Drew Crew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05563603078963235924</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00410340814553866469'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362919958740529598.post-6207600166473405375</id><published>2009-01-29T13:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-29T14:12:13.130-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Stuff from all Over</title><content type='html'>Stephen Curry would be a lot cooler if he went to a school that had hot chicks... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know the kid can flat out shoot some hoops, but I've never seen anyone hotter than his mom in the stands.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if Roger Clemens couldn't get any weirder... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's now being reported in Joe Torre's new book that on game day Roger Clemen's would get a trainer to rub &lt;a href="http://www.faniq.com/blog/Joe-Torres-Book-Includes-Story-About-Roger-Clemens-And-His-Testicle-Rubdown-Blog-18521"&gt;cream on his balls before games&lt;/a&gt;...

You can't expect any coach to win with that roster.  It's pretty terrible.  I guess now we can hope that the Grizz get that #1 pick - after all, the NBA's rigged and cities that have stars (Kobe), and cities that have future stars (Mayo) seem to get all the breaks.  So here's a cold one to tanking it! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Memphis Tigers play UT on Saturday - of course this would be the year the Tigers win... you know, when a perfect record isn't at stake. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no documented proof but I have said all along that Arkansas would at best go .500 in the SEC - and the SEC blows this year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that's all for now - &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2362919958740529598-835937955343124836?l=cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/835937955343124836'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/835937955343124836'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2009/01/playing-catch-up.html' title='Playing Catch Up'/><author><name>The Drew Crew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05563603078963235924</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00410340814553866469'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_HEh7i9JMzUk/SXjcAXtz-fI/AAAAAAAAAHY/CtGOYfyLQnE/s72-c/TBO.bmp' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362919958740529598.post-5219786511659640377</id><published>2008-11-13T13:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-13T13:49:22.560-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Shaq Smack</title><content type='html'>I'm getting back into the writing spirits...

Of course that happeened to our boys... Hey Knicks, way to crush their spirits, and all the new Grizzly fans spirits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could hear all the new fans watching them on tv last night say, I knew it... we still suck. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I guess it was fun while it lasted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Shaq beat down the Rockets last night... does anyone remember when Shaq started saying "Ching Chong" in an interview?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know what's crazy?  There were 7 technical fouls given out, a couple ejections, some punches, and not one of them had anything to do with Ron Artest.

I've said in various outlets - if you're going to a shitty bowl, you might as well make a party out of it.  There is one other place as notorious as Bourbon, Vegas.

So here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grizzlies - Over the last year I became depleted of man-crushes after the Brett Favre debacle on television, and finding out that Will Smith is a closet Scientologist.  But thanks to OJ Mayo my crush has been revived, and deservingly so. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's something different about this year's team... a team full of "Change and Hope we can believe in."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't expect them to beat the Nuggets last night, so I'm not mad. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah, there's a new President by the way.  I didn't vote for him, so I'm not jumping on board with him... I don't think the world is going to end either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And... that concludes every political thing you'll ever read on here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Memphis Tiger football team is in bowl contention - looks like New Orleans.  If you're going to a shitty bowl, it might as well be a party right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tommy West is still a bonehead... players on special teams are more likely to get hurt than non special teamers.  But I have a great idea - let's put our starting running back and back-up running back on special teams, there's no way they'll get hurt.  Wrong!!  The exact opposite happened. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't decide if the Titans are that good or if they keep getting breaks to go their way.  For example, the Bears had to play with Rex Grossman. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And finally - &lt;a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iEmzaNVRpE2h49-RDpc2Pkw5HHiAD94C4DR00"&gt;here's a shocking story&lt;/a&gt;.

I have said this to at least 50 people:  "Maybe there is substance to the three year plan after all."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are the Hornets of four years ago... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some things I've noticed and said about the Grizz:&lt;br /&gt;"Wow, it's nice to see a Gasol actually stand in the way when someone's trying to dunk."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Darrell Arthur is going to be incredible, he didn't really have to try at Kansas."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Mike Conley sucks."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a positive note, I've had many friends speak of their rekindled love for the Grizzlies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other NBA news: Allen Iverson will be traded to Pistons for Chauncey Billup and Antonio McDyess... Pistons have now swung back into contention. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Memphis Tiger news: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's a lot of speculation as to who will be committing to the Tiger's basketball for the 2009-2010 season.  Let me break it down to you like this: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Calipari would not have made that tough of a schedule for that season unless he knew he was going to have a bad ass team to compete with. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What schedule you ask?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Georgetown, Kansas, UT, Duke, Gonzaga, North Carolina, Syracuse, Ohio State, Louisville,UMass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In college football news I think it's great Penn State is still 3rd in the BCS.  Right where they need to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Florida Gators can beat ANYBODY right now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And last but not least...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://rushthecourt.wordpress.com/2008/11/02/vegas-odds-preseason-check-in/"&gt;Here are the basketball national championship odds. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2362919958740529598-5855451712793579851?l=cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/5855451712793579851'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/5855451712793579851'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2008/11/currently-my-life-is-fantastic.html' title='Go Grizz!'/><author><name>The Drew Crew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05563603078963235924</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00410340814553866469'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362919958740529598.post-25696642654817052</id><published>2008-10-29T13:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-29T13:40:52.354-07:00</updated><title type='text'>World Series Continuation</title><content type='html'>Finally, I can't wait.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I wish you could have heard the sarcasm as I thought out that sentence)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On one hand, I want Philly to lose so their fans can live in pity and destroy the city like the bunch of wild animals they are. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, I want Philly to win so their fans can live in celebration and destroy the city like the bunch of wild animals they are. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for serious - Philly is just plain boring.  They are the San Anotnio Spurs of the MLB (the early years before all the championships). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And honestly, who cares about Tampa Bay?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Onto better things: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NBA is back.  Finally. (not sarcasm)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Derrick Rose played well, 11 points, 9 assists.  That's good for a rookie... very good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My NBA Picks: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Clippers should surprise some folks... nice starting 5.  Baron Davis, Marcus Camby, Chris Kaman (the german sensation), Cuttino Mobley, and the most under rated small forward - Al Thornton.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's pretty solid. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But as usual it will be the same teams making it to the playoffs, but different teams playing in the conference Finals:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hornets vs. Rockets out of the West.. &lt;br /&gt;Boston vs. It doesn't matter out of the East...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My gut says to actually pick the Lakers but I hate Pau Gasol so much. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Grizz will suck, but they'll be fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MVP: Chris Paul (I hope)&lt;br /&gt;Rookie of the Year: Derrick Rose (I'm a homer)&lt;br /&gt;Coach of the Year: Dumb Award&lt;br /&gt;Champion: Celtics, again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New South Park tonight. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2362919958740529598-25696642654817052?l=cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/25696642654817052'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/25696642654817052'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2008/10/world-series-continuation.html' title='World Series Continuation'/><author><name>The Drew Crew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05563603078963235924</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00410340814553866469'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362919958740529598.post-1745559905954109251</id><published>2008-10-28T12:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-28T12:39:57.146-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Happenings</title><content type='html'>World Series - Still don't care, I guess I made a bad prediction.  But seriously, shouldn't Philly suffer?  I can't decide which city I hate worse, Detroit or Philly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently it's a big deal that they suspended the World Series game last night.  I don't see a problem.  TV wanted to show it, fans who made travel arrangements to get to the game wanted to see it, and there are baseball fanatics who wanted to see it (I don't know why)...  &lt;br /&gt;So, they tried. And failed... but tried. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the NFL - The Titans are still undefeated and people are raving about how much of a feat it was that they beat the Colts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What feat?  There are 3 other teams who have already beaten them.  Two of which by more points. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not taking anything away from the Titans... they're my favorite team.  But let's be for serious here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to give a special shout out to the St. Louis Rams for announcing Steven Jackson's "Game time decision" after kickoff.  Thanks. My fantasy team appreciates it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;College Football - Looks like the National Championship game will be Penn State vs. Alabama/Texas/Texas Tech.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm indifferent. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today's boring, this post probably was too.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2362919958740529598-1745559905954109251?l=cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/1745559905954109251'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/1745559905954109251'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2008/10/happenings-world-series-still-dont-care.html' title='Happenings'/><author><name>The Drew Crew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05563603078963235924</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00410340814553866469'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362919958740529598.post-3978203328909376037</id><published>2008-10-23T12:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-23T12:27:47.164-07:00</updated><title type='text'>World Series Update</title><content type='html'>I still think this is the Cubs year.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2362919958740529598-3978203328909376037?l=cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/3978203328909376037'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/3978203328909376037'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2008/10/world-series-update.html' title='World Series Update'/><author><name>The Drew Crew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05563603078963235924</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00410340814553866469'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362919958740529598.post-8990534559745951171</id><published>2008-10-22T11:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-22T11:32:06.180-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My World Series Breakdown</title><content type='html'>Who cares. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tampa in 6...maybe 5. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My World series prediction: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The least watched one ever. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tampa "fans", come on out and jump on the bandwagon.

Tyreke is good.  Tyreke is really good. &lt;br /&gt;2. Pierre Niles had a vertical leap... I guess that's what happens when you make the attempt to not be a fat turd anymore. &lt;br /&gt;3. Shawn Taggart excited me the most (not in a gay way)... he's going to be good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note to self: Make sure to take in bottle caps in the event I purchase a beer... a beer for $7.50?!  What the hell is up with that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PETA has sent a letter to Shirley Raines asking her to not get a TOM III.  Good thing PETA is not Mensa and didn't realize that the Highland Hundred purchases the Tiger. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following things annoy me, and I hate PETA more: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Handicapped Parking &lt;br /&gt;Whiggers... that's a close call. &lt;br /&gt;Carlos Mencia&lt;br /&gt;Political Celebrities&lt;br /&gt;Titty-Twisters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://awfulannouncing.blogspot.com/2008/10/elite-xc-to-fold-almost-as-quickly-as.html"&gt;Elite XC is closing down. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's funny to me.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2362919958740529598-64837695663879782?l=cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/64837695663879782'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2362919958740529598/posts/default/64837695663879782'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cityofdrewcompton.blogspot.com/2008/10/f-peta.html' title='F-PETA'/><author><name>The Drew Crew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05563603078963235924</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='00410340814553866469'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2362919958740529598.post-2489069907998145072</id><published>2008-10-16T12:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-16T12:56:54.805-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Andre Allen</title><content type='html'>Which one of these doesn't fit: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andre Allen and Booker T.

Because I couldn't understand a word you just said."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dunno, maybe I'm just making a big deal out of nothing.  So good luck Chrichton College.
