Thug Life In Memphis…Rose No exception

ESPN reports that Derrick Rose recently apologized for a picture that has been circulating on the internet of him flashing gang signs.

SAT….We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ SAT

Tiger High accomplished the unthinkable, they out cheated a SEC school. Watch out Big Orange, Tiger High is encroaching upon your territory. Despite University of Georgia’s unwillingness to sign Dozier because of an invalid SAT score, Tiger High were eager to have him wear Tiger blue. Way to go R.C. and coach Cal, you out slimed one of the most historically slimy conferences in the nation.

Give Tiger High The Death Penalty

If there was ever a team that deserved the NCAA death penalty it is Tiger High. The modern day equivalent of the Running Rebs (UNLV), UM epitomizes what is wrong with college basketball today. Derrick Rose, Tiger High’s poster child appears to be the focus of the NCAA probe. Rose may have begun cheating when in high school according to the Chicago Sun Times article. Face it Tiger fans YOU ARE FINALLY DONE!

Why did Coach Cal Leave?

It was only a matter of time before we found out why Cal fled Tiger High. It looks like the program and even Kentucky could be in big trouble because of Cal’s unethical tactics.  USA Today and the Commercial Appeal are reporting that one of Cal’s thugs really screwed up this time. Way to go Tiger High! Josh, get out while you can!

Welcome the newest Tiger High recruit. He is earning his “stripes”.

Possible Tiger High recruit John Wall was recently charged in break-in. Under coach Cal this would automatically qualify him for entry in to the program.  I suppose Memphis officials will have to make sure he is convicted before signing him to the squad.

Wow…Josh Pastner?

I’m ‘wowed’ alright. Josh Pastner? Your kidding right? I happen to know Josh and have even played pick-up basketball with him. He is a very nice and decent guy but he may be the worse fit for Tiger High ever. First of all, he has morals and he got where he is through hard work not talent. He played all through college with no hopes of ever actually contributing to his team at the University of Arizona. He was the white guy sitting at the end of the bench.  The guy the crowd loved to cheer for when on the rare occasion he came in to the game to mop up against Podunk U. I suspect he even studied and went to classes. Josh represents everything that Tiger High is not. How can he even relate to the typical Memphis athlete? Consequently, how can he be expected to recruit and coach egocentric albeit talented thugs like his predecessor did? Additionally, at 31 years old, he is barely older than many of Tiger High’s freshman class. Perhaps Josh is only one naive enough to take on such an unenviable task. Good luck Josh you are going to need it.

Top 10 Reasons No One Wants to Coach At Memphis

10. Court mandated ankle bracelets on players make running the full court press difficult.

9. Elvis still draws a bigger crowd.

8. Tough new Tiger High entrance exam…yeah right.

7. Coaching at Memphis would also mean you have to live in Memphis.

6. Herenton wants to play power forward.

No Thanks Tiger High…Again!

You just been rejected AGAIN. Scott Drew indicated he would rather stay at Baylor than coach in Memphis. Baylor? Are you kidding me? Have you ever been to Waco, TX? It makes Cordova look like Club Med. Baylor’s basketball program has had it’s share of problems too. Just a few years ago, Charlie Dotson murdered his roommate.

Why does nobody want to coach the Memphis Tigers?

Tiger High is getting turned down more than I did my freshmen year. If Tiger High is such a great place why does no one want to come here. Bruce Pearl is one of growing list of coaches to reject your beloved Tigers.  Tigers you have also been dumped by Calipari, Mike Anderson, and Tim Floyd. You should probably lower your expectations folks. UM is not as attractive as you think it is. Face it most of you would not have even gone there if you had been given a choice.

New Coach at Tiger High?

WTF….you have to be kidding me. Bobby Knight interviewing for the Memphis job? This has to be one the oddest courtships ever in NCAA basketball history. It’s hard to tell who is more desperate him or Tiger High.  Bruce Pearl has also been rumored to be coming to help save the program.  Why would either of these guys want to go to UM? Although I’m not a UT fan, I believe Bruce Pearl is a good coach who doesn’t deserve Memphis.  Others disagree. Besides Bruce is rumored to be quite the ‘ladies man’ and Memphis is not a good place find quality females.
