Memphis Tigers Get More Disrespect

First, it was the Tournament Selection Committee and now, it’s Cal State Northridge.  No matter where they turn, John Calipari’s Memphis Tigers are being disrespected.

On Sunday, the Selection Committee all but coughed up a loogie and spat it in Calipari’s hair, when they had the gall to seed Memphis—a 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 50—as a No. 2 in the West instead of a No. 1. 

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.  Who did they think they were? 

Did they know that they were playing John "freaking" Calipari’s team?  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.

Doesn’t matter though.  All it will do is give Calipari more fuel for his legendary locker room speeches to fire his guys up in Round two.  Not only did the Selection Committee doubt them, but so did their cocky-ass, double-digit underdog opponent.

God help whoever disrespects them next.

1945 - Legendary NBA coach Pat Riley is born.  Within days, he has cleaned out the hospital’s supply of hair grease.

1984 - Marcus Vick enters the world.  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 tights—Big John Studd—dies.  Even though he died of liver cancer, anti-wrestling groups immediately attribute the death to steroid abuse.

2009 - The Missouri Tigers begin their improbable run to the 2009 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship.  Yeah, we’re homers, so what?###MORE###

John Calipari’s Hair Fluid/Castrol GTX

It’s 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 Lawson’s foot problem …

If nothing else, Toe Jam tells us that yes, the headline goobers do planning and preparation. See because regardless of North Carolina’s outcome, Lawson’s injury has put the team in a jam. When a headline has to immediately follow the outcome of a game, however, the product doesn’t have the same value.

If you had missed Thursday’s games and just tuned into Foxsports.com, you’d 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.

And just a heads up to the faithful, the JoeSportsFan Show will return next week. In the mean time, check out our past shows and enjoy. And subscribe through iTunes. Thanks brothers and sisters.
