Shadyac? Brewer?

I don't know. I thought that was an odd comment. I guess it is odd because I'm not sure what he was referring to.

He was referring to a movie about Dez. That whole scenario. ESPN story.

Penny Hardaway says on @MartySmithESPN’s podcast that he moved the compliance staff to the practice facility so “that if I had any questions, I could go right to them.”

@JohnMartin929
Penny: “We met with Nike at the Final Four, and they’re gonna do all they can and more to support the University of Memphis, now that I’m here.”

@JohnMartin929
Penny: “Making the NCAA Tournament, winning our conference — that’s what I’m expecting to do in my first year. I don’t waver from that. That’s the type of energy we have in our city. We believe.”

Penny does not shy away from expectations and given the results the past few weeks I am inclined to give it credence.

It is also wise for Penny to recognize that the NCAA will be looking for any excuse to impede our program. At least his prudent precautions will force them to make up violations.

That news didn't make it to the rock you are living under?

He's gotta stay in the running for worst poster. The competition is stiff. 83 is dead on right they'll be on the watch for anything they can nail us for.

Remember that time UCLA sneezed, and we had to vacate a season?

If it is local guys, I don't think that is too odd. Shadyac just filmed a sports biopic recently and is heavily involved in the Soulsville area, including I think their new rock climbing gym. Also adjuncts or teaches at the U of M, IIRC. But, yeah, I am more interested in the "what" the movie guys are brainstorming.
