Talented Tigers almost meet their match
Friday, January 27, 2006
Mark your calendar. Program your Palm. Scribble it on your palm.

Just do it, and then circle the date in indelible ink.

March 2. It's a Thursday.

There's going to be a basketball game that night in Birmingham on the UAB campus at Bartow Arena.

Memphis at UAB.

It'll be the second time they've looked each other in the eye this season. If the sequel is anything like the original, you won't want to miss it.

Because neither team will blink. Or back down. Or back up. Or stand up if there's a loose ball on the floor.

Not a single player on a single team will quit.

Jeez...I wonder who he's talking about ?

Dude did you even read the article? If you did you would know he is referring to Memphis and UAB players will bring it. They will give it their all.

So what did you think he was talking about?

OOOPSS!!!

I thought that was a poke @ BamarU and GotFried...

Wasn't this game supposed to be on ESPN or ESPN2 originally? I know the game time changed once or twice, and I thought it was because ESPN decided not to carry it.

Stupid on their part. At least the next one will be on ESPN2 so everyone can see it. I always enjoy our games when the opponent also likes to get up & down the court. I'm sure you guys do as well.

Favorite qoutes:

Quote:don't be surprised if Memphis wins every game in the interim and UAB does the same.

The visitors left the building having learned a few things about themselves.

They played with Memphis in Memphis.

Memphis may be a Final Four team in the making, but UAB is the kind of opponent a Final Four team doesn't want to see.

Not in March. That could be madness.

Yea you would think ESPN would have picked up the game in Memphis!

In the future I bet it will be standard for UAB vs. Memphis to be on ESPN!
