Memphis Tigers Get More Disrespect
First, it was the Tournament Selection Committee and now, itโs Cal State Northridge.ย No matter where they turn, John Calipariโs Memphis Tigers are being disrespected.
On Sunday, the Selection Committee all but coughed up a loogie and spat it in Calipariโs hair, when they had the gall to seed Memphisโa team that racked up a 31-3 record, while playing a brutal schedule that had them face off against seven teams with an RPI higher than 50โas a No. 2 in the West instead of a No. 1.ย
Needless to say, Cal immediately went on the offensive about how his team would use the heinous slight as motivation in the tournament.
Then, the Cal State Northridge Matadors had the balls to come out and give the Tigers a run for 40 minutes, finally succumbing 81-70.ย Who did they think they were?ย
Did they know that they were playing John "freaking" Calipariโs team?ย For a No. 15 seed to come out and not simply roll over and allow themselves to be blown out by the all-powerful No. 2 seed is even more disrespect.
Doesnโt matter though.ย All it will do is give Calipari more fuel for his legendary locker room speeches to fire his guys up in Round two.ย Not only did the Selection Committee doubt them, but so did their cocky-ass, double-digit underdog opponent.
God help whoever disrespects them next.

1984 - Marcus Vick enters the world.ย The world wishes it could give him back.
1995 - Probably the baddest man ever to pull off the combo of long hair, beard, and white tightsโBig John Studdโdies.ย Even though he died of liver cancer, anti-wrestling groups immediately attribute the death to steroid abuse.

Itโs March Madness at the Foxsports.com headquarters, and that means the little goobers are competing against one another to come up with some zingers. Behold the power of Ty Lawsonโs foot problem โฆ
If nothing else, Toe Jam tells us that yes, the headline goobers do planning and preparation. See because regardless of North Carolinaโs outcome, Lawsonโs injury has put the team in a jam. When a headline has to immediately follow the outcome of a game, however, the product doesnโt have the same value.
If you had missed Thursdayโs games and just tuned into Foxsports.com, youโd assume your Villanova Elite Eight selection went up in flames.
Get your shit together, goobers.
Jason Major sings another Top seven tune, this time celebrating the least productive work days of the year. His timing is impeccable.
