Memphis is having a dream season to remember
I haven’t really talked about it yet, but many who know me know that I’m a die hard Memphis basketball fan. This season, along with the last two have made that easy. As of this writing, the Tigers are 24-0, and ranked number 1 in every poll out there that one could find. They have broken so many school records at this point that it’s hard to keep count! Even Duke, in all it’s glory is off to their best season ever; and they’ve lost a game! I’m so exited that I just can’t keep it bottled up any more. Plus, Brenda will probably be counting the days until this is over, if she hasn’t already started.
It hasn’t really sunk in how great they’ve been this season, and it probably wont until a few years down the road when it’s likely that mediocrity will return. Nobody stays on top forever, and as Memphis fans, we’ve been at the bottom quite often. I was a little kid when they went to the Final Four in the early 80’s and lost to Villanova, and this is shaping up to be another magical season.
Memphis fans, all I can say is remember everything thats going on around you; the presidential race, your favorite TV show, song, or book; what your child is into right now; all these things, because I have a feeling that a long time down the road, when we’re old tired crusty Memphis fans talking about the good ole days of UM basketball, that will be NOW!
Add to the mix that Tennessee comes to town to play Memphis next week in what could be the top College game of the season, and it just makes it that much sweeter. Tennessee is NEVER good in basketball, and this season, they are 22-2! Craziness!
Here’s to enjoying it while it lasts, even if it hasn’t really sunk in yet! Go Tigers!
