Although I’ve liked KU since I was a kid (how can you not pull for Roy Williams, who even Dick Vermeil calls a crybaby?), I was kinda pulling for Tiger High. Not so much as they were from the Volunteer State, but the fact that we beat them not only this year, but last year too. And that big fat 1 in the loss column would have at least let UT leave their mark on 39-1.
I concur with your assessment….Memphis does indeed suck…
Man they really pissed that one away. Thought they had it with a minute left.
The Tigers failed, Kansas sailed. Just that simple.
If Memphis had won that game TN would be 4-1 in the regular season against the National Champs.
2-0 against Florida ‘06
1-1 against Florida ‘07
1-0 against Memphis
But it didn’t happen. Although it would have if we had played Kansas this year.

At least thier still the Confrence USA champs.
Louisville what? Sweet sixteen who?
For the record I was raised a UT fan and still am. I also attended the University of Memphis and am friends with some of their coaches.
I still ache from the game though. One friggin’ free through is all we needed.
Still though, we didn’t choke in the third round.
