Our Tiger Bloggers will give us their thoughts throughout the University of Memphis’ run through the NCAA Tournament

From Patti Yancey, Bartlett:

I really liked Andrew’s response…I too felt down, still a little under the weather from New Orleans and a little disappointed that we didn’t ’show’ the announcers how really wrong they were….but as I look back…I realize that nothing we could have done would have changed the way people think about us…either they like us or they dont …its their loss…not knowing what a great team we have ( and they remain our team)….and not just athletically either…but a team that has played together all year on and off the court and supported each other with character and strength and called each other out when necessary, to represent a school, a community, and a love for basketball in the best fashion possible as unbelievable young men stepping up to the plate in life. Just like our own children, sometimes, no matter how hard we will it or wish it to be we cant take away the hurt or disappointment…but as adults, they learn from trials and tribulations and move forward, better from the experience and use it during all those life tests that will come their way. Thank you TEAM….EVERYONE of you…..for all the fun….while I haven’t played basketball in a few years now (you couldn’t cross the center court line when I did…lol) I enjoy it still…vicariously through you…each one a little different player but our team was one I will remember forever…As I said last year….I cant wait until next fall…and we remain…BIA….GO TIGERS….
