The Tigers are Number 1

A quick disclaimer, I am an avid Tennessee fan. I will root for all things Univerisyt of Tennessee over all things University of Memphis. BUT, I also love my city and thus root for the University of Memphis as long as they don't play my Vols. All that being said . . .

THE TIGERS ARE NUMBER ONE!

For the first time since they lost at Virginia Tech twenty years ago, the Tigers are now ranked number one. They are a fun team to watch. They play in your shorts defense and run and gun like the "Showtime" Laker years. Coach Cal is a big time personality and a constant promoter for his program, his school and our city.

Fed Ex Forum is a great place to watch a game whether it's for the Grizzlies or the Tigers. It's especially electric for Tiger games. Beale Street is packed with people both before and after games. It's just a great thing for our city and for the University of Memphis.

Congrats to the Tigers at being the best team in the land -- at least until Feb. 23 ;)
