Don't care for MLB.

Hey UNC fans.....what do you think about ole' Roy wearing a Jayhawk shirt last night and being interviewed while that big ole beak peaked out behind his blazer! This just a couple of days after "HIS" team was wooped on by the Jay's......
I know what would happen to him if he did that in the SEC.....these bubba's/bubbett's have guns and know how to use em'...

Very true, but he also knows there are plenty of Jayhawks that have a deep passionate hatred for him. It's called rallying behind the winners. If Memphis had won, you'd have been able to buy t-shirts and hats at the Grayton General store. Whoops sorry, mind wandering have to go find it.
That pretty much covers it. Memphis had the talent, they are just not disciplined enough to make it all the way. I mean you have a major back up player out of the final 4 on drugs the week of the finals
. There should never have been an over time, Memphis should have finished it in the last seconds with a 3 point lead, you don't stand around and take a chance of someone hitting a 3 pointer to tie the game. A foul would have prevented all that.
Inexperience and at that moment, poor leadership, lost the game which is such a shame with that much talent on the floor.
I am also afraid two of the key players were looking ahead to the NBA before the finals were over.
They are to be congratulated on a fantastic record breaking season but that is pretty much like a very good cake with no icing.
I just hope the Lady Vols can rally tonight with Candice Parker injuried.
It is going to be boring after tonight with no football until the end of August and no basketball until November. Don't know what I'll watch after that. Don't care for MLB.
I do think Kansas proved to be the better team, obviously.
Hope my Lady Vols can win tonight.
Do you like college baseball?
Don't know about that "better disciplined" remark and fully intended my remarks earlier for the TIGER Nation to be taken with a grain of salt and lime on a full glass of tequila, but the Tiger's play a brand of b'ball that is closely akin to street ball, disciplined and controlled chaos I think Calipari has called it in lieu of anything else, but it suffices to work with the talent he collects. Most of the b'ball nation now comes from street ball, blacktop courts in all places with over 100 inhabitants where derring-do and sheer b'ball genius is rewarded by being elected captain next game, and there is always a next game, rain/wind/cold/heat/war.....yep, they went down a the hands of a talented Kansas team well-coached in their version of the GAME. And there were those moments by both squads of unbelievable college ta;ent, just incredible athletes. And remarkably enough, all seemed to be likeable guys whose main reson for being is b'ball. Good job Kansas. See ya again soon enough. Thanks for all the comments.
EVERY SINGLE pundit/expert out there has said Kansas was the better-disciplined team. My wife (who knows zero about basketball) watched the game and had the same opinion. Now here you go trying to insinuate there is something racist in that viewpoint.
Memphis lost because they can't hit free throws. Period. Get over it. They managed to overcome it all year because they are so supremely talented. If you want to speak exclusively to the "Tiger Nation," then there are probably dozens of Memphis State boards out there. In case you haven't noticed, this isn't one of them.
Man JB..you are so right. This is not a Memphis basketball "board", but you know what? Its a thread on the Sowal Board dedicated to the 2008 College Basketball Season and the Memphis Tigers played in the Championship game last night right? Did you watch JB? The Tigers lost the Championship last night beacuse they did not hit their free throws down the stretch and because Chalmers hit a 3 pointer(maybe one of the best last minute clutch shots of all time) with very little time left. Rose and CDR are fierce competitors and wanted that Championship as bad as anyone else. The fact that they got to that game is pretty amazing. 38-2 is an all time record number of wins and as a Tiger fan we are proud.
My point exactly. This is just a general discussion board and we are talking about the national championship game. The comments are just observations and we would be making observations regardless of who was playing. The other poster seemed to insinuate my comment was a) racist, and b) that I had no business posting about it because I'm not a part of the "memphis nation" (I never knew there was such a thing). That is ridiculous.
Be clear on one thing: I think Memphis is a fantastic team. Supremely talented and coached by a good guy. They were one free throw away from making it a two-posession game, in which case it would have been over and Memphis would have won.
