See, I'm not the only one who thought we played Memphis years ago. Izzo remembers a game, too. Yet, for whatever reason, there is no official record of this game taking place. What gives?

I think he is referring to the NCAA sanctions of that year.

He'd know sanctions: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1996-...-committee

Hell, at least we WON our violation year.

Oh I know- but it still happened and that article has so many good quotes I had to post it..

Tigers back up top-seed status with convincing rout of Spartans

HOUSTON (AP) -- Pity those poor, vulnerable Memphis Tigers.

You know, the ones who just made mincemeat out of yet another team that was supposed to end their stay in the NCAA tournament.

This time, they took it out on Michigan State, embarrassing yet again all those naysayers who suggested Memphis was the most suspect of the top seeds in this year's NCAA tournament.

The final score Friday night: Memphis 92, Michigan State 74, but really, it was worse than that.

That just made my day......thank you

You know what was close about that game?

Nothing.

I was close to a bunch of Texas fans that were scared shitless of playing us 2 days later.

I watched the Texas/Stanford game at a Texas bar and they UT fan was talking a ton of crap ('We're going to roll on your Tigers!).

He then came with me to the Memphis bar and saw the 50-20 game.

He was openly apologetic and was quiet the rest of the night... and this guy is never quiet...

im convinced we won the Bevo game the same night we beat The Tradition ::giggle::.

Still trying to figure out who The Tradition is. He's either a wrestler or a singer. Could be both.

Traditions are made to be broken anyway, kind of like this...

Tradition, Here's your mind on Memphis.

This was reported, but instead of pulling, I just fixed the title to something more... appropriate...

dig?

Their best player scored four points that night. All in the last three minutes during garbage time. I don't care if he wants to play the "vacate" card. We know the score and he does, too. Talking smack isn't smart when the last memory you have is getting skull dragged on national tv during the NCAA tourney.

The Tradition only got to watch Dorsey dunk. The Tradition got to participate in Roses dunk.

Sparty got hit with moderator intervention.

Did the NCAA call Michigan State and say "Hey that didn't happen. You guys come back and finish the tournament".

Yep, I feel we got a pretty good draw.. Lets focus in on winning the first one whether its SMC or MTSU then we will see who has next.
