I'm Just So Sick Of This

ESPN cannot wait for us to lose, literally. Remember a few weeks ago when "THE" sports network had Kansas listed at number one, even though they weren't? And then a few days later when ESPN's choice for number one lost they ran a headline that said, "Memphis is last number one standing." It didn't say Memphis was last undefeated team standing, it said we were the last number one standing. Apparently ESPN makes up its own rules now and there can be more than one "best team" in the country.
Well last night, with Memphis down 77-70 with just a 1:30 seconds to go ESPN ran this on their page. Look on the right side where they usually post their breaking news. It is very tough to read, but it declares UAB the winner over Memphis. It reads, "Imperfect. And then there were none. No. 1 Memphis is unbeaten no longer. UAB, on the back of sharp shooter Robert Vaden, knocked off the one perfect team in Division 1 on Saturday Night."

Im so with you bro. I dont know if you saw it or not. But a guy on march madness on espn, went off on Dorsey. Calling him a idiot for what he did after the game. He didnt mention nor did espn barely about the fans that threw shit at our team after UAB blew the game. Im so sick of of the lack of respect for the tigers it makes me sick. I will write more about it on my blog. But right now im going to write a email to espn.
