GO MEMPHIS TIGERS, This is one heck of a coaching job by Coach Cal. Lose three players to the NBA and still have a chance of a second straight #1 seed in the Big Dance !!! Also Go Kiff Daddy and UT Football !!!

I can't help it, I became a Tiger fan when I was 12 went through the 80's, which were great, the 90's which were not and NOW which is fantastic. However I do LOVE OUR Vols Football and have since 1989, so I guess I'm a mix breed, I bleed blue and Orange !!!
