MyBB The Memphis Tiger effect
I live in Dallas. My wife has an uncle with a 7 year old who's really in to basketball. When he saw me wearing my Tiger shirt he informed me that the Tigers were his favorite team. I am going to treat him to the Memphis SMU game in a few weeks.

I know y'all love stories like this. Tiger nation lives!

Good for you, get him hooked. I'm taking my grandson to his first college basketball game at SMU. He was over this weekend and saw the Temple game. He freaked out at Joe Jackson's dunk.

See you at SMU !!

Seven is three years earlier than I started. Hope he lives long and prospers!

Seven is two years after I started. Never too early. I still remember bits of that game, even today. Hope he gets to enjoy as many good memories as I have.

I am a grandfather and I have taken it on to introduce each of my 6 grandsons to the joys of Tigers basketball. I buy an extra couple basketball season tickets each year and rotate them throughout the season. It is a great joy to watch them learn the pleasures of fandom.

Good for you, but I hope that you will also do as I have done, and take them to football and baseball games (among other) as well as onto the campus (be sure to stop by the tiger statue and Egyptian museum). We need more people to relate to the university - not just Tiger basketball.

Lucky kid!

My dad got me hooked on football, period, when I was 10, Ole Miss-Memphis at Crump Stadium. He just "thought" he was making me into an Ole Miss fan. lol

I can't wait to start bringing my twin granddaughters to bb and football games in a couple years. They've already been to Tiger Lane in full Tiger gear. When they see a Tiger decal on their window at home, they go, "Raaaarr!!"
