You should never post about anyone being wrong. Like ever.


“What I’m hearing” 03-lmfao

You are a dumbfk Canadian who somehow found your way onto a Memphis message board, are somehow a Tiger fan and then pretend to be an insider. Then your supposed info is completely wrong and you look like a total ass clown. You’re just a moron who doesn’t understand sports, thinks you are smart, cries about the refs every game and comes up with stupid fkn lists. Complete tard. And the great thing is IDGAF about your stupid opinions because you’re an ill informed Canadian idiot. Now GFY

BTW, here you go Karen...

Quote:Aside from throwing speculation Hardaway’s way, Lefft also claimed that Memphis brass told Smith that the Tigers were headed for the Big 12 when they lured him away from Texas Tech two years ago.

“The first thing they told him is we’re going to the Big 12. It’s pretty much a lock,” he said. “He gets there and all of a sudden it appears as though they were never really a contender.

“There’s some people that now sit on the board that are some pretty significant folks, along with the president and both the athletic administrators who were part of the process, and (they) represented to him that this was going to happen.”

Memphis Tells Tubby We Are In The Big 12

Hahaha! You posted an article which says “they told Tubby they were going” but you left out the part right after that where it says they were never really a contender.

Nice work

I added the last part where the lawyer says that everyone at Memphis told Tubby we are in. Poor little Karen man can't read.

Wow, look above in bold face. I was wrong, you're even more stupid than jsw3ent and ncrdb1. Ha ha.

That must be some Canadian logic

“I’m 100% right even though we didn’t get in”

Makes sense

I'll explain it to you in terms you can understand. You've probably had around a dozen beers this morning. You tell me you've only had 8. I post on the board that you told me that you have only had 8 beers. I am correctly posting that you told me that you have only had 8 beers.

My information I am posting on the board is what was told to me. It's not my fault if we didn't get into the Big 12. It doesn't even matter if your hysterical psycho claim is true about Rudd lying to my source. My info was 100% correct.

See if that sinks in a little better little Karen man. Or keep going and make an even bigger fool of yourself.

Not your fault of course. But you’re the fool who kept pretending to know and doubling down on it, mocking everyone who was right and disagreed with you.

Or maybe, like all of our losses, it was the refs fault.

Anyways, not reading all the back and forth...
I believe every questionable call went against us, and they were all initiated by the younger, bald, white ref. What's his name, and how much did he cash-in on this one?

The McCadden one was bad, the DW arm grab was criminal, and how is it possible that it isn't a flagrant, when you aren't anywhere close to the ball and you clothesline a player? The ball they called out of bounds off of McCadden was a mistake also.

All in a game that went into overtime.

RE: Worst Basketball Screwjobs 2000 - Present
There’s definitely bias as Tiger fans to think of this game as a screw job. There were some blatant mistakes as noted but we only got called for 15 fouls when we average 19 a game and have had plenty of games with 20+ fouls. IMO they probably missed a lot of calls on us as well. Every new thread is almost devolving into the refs messing up but we let a game slip away that we should have won comfortably in spite of the refs. Such is life - sh!t happens and good teams overcome adversity. We should have finished the game in regulation (just by hitting even 50% FTs) in the last few mins and in OT, we should have finished it off when they lost Cook with 2 mins left and us up by 3. Refs f’d up some but I bet if we scrutinized every play of the game, they let sh!t go on our end as well. 15 fouls is one of our lower numbers of the season.

In all my years of being a fan, Saturday was the second most angry I've seen our fans at a home game; the other being 2013 against Louisville. At least in that game, it could be explained away by a Vol graduate ******* us over. There is no explanation for Saturday.

Our weirdo fans are really stepping up their game on this one. Now apparently, we should feel grateful because the refs didn't call us for more fouls.

I assume you started a thread for a discussion and for everyone not to agree with you. If you start labeling disagreeing opinions as weird etc, then what was the point of starting the thread? Just so everyone can agree with you?

The refs found 3 extra tenths for Tulane on their last possession in regulation, but didn't even review at the end, to give us an extra few tenths when the ball went out of bounds.

You are saying that because we had less fouls on us, that the ref probably missed just as many on us. When refs look at replays for 5 minutes a pop and call a hook on McCadden, a common foul when the Tulane player holds DW's arm, KD gets clotheslined, and a ball goes out of bounds off of Tulane, any attempt at rationalizing it as the ref missing calls on both ends, is weird.

Obviously, the one thing everyone should agree with, is that it was crooked. The entire building was going crazy, but a handful of posters are agreeing with the refs.

Refs messed up…no disagreement there. IMO it wasn’t to the extent where we couldn’t take care of business. It’s a home game, so fans get riled up even on proper fouls calls. With some of these bad calls, it makes sense for the building to go nuts. But there have been worse games where our players were got in early foul trouble and hence we couldn’t play the way we wanted to. DW and KD were still on the court and IMO are the 2 best players on the court on any given night. We had multiple shots at finishing them off irrespective of the refs and couldn’t do it. It just wasn’t as one sided IMO

Refs messed up…no disagreement there. IMO it wasn’t to the extent where we couldn’t take care of business. It’s a home game, so fans get riled up even on proper fouls calls. With some of these bad calls, it makes sense for the building to go nuts. But there have been worse games where our players were got in early foul trouble and hence we couldn’t play the way we wanted to. DW and KD were still on the court and IMO are the 2 best players on the court on any given night. We had multiple shots at finishing them off irrespective of the refs and couldn’t do it. It just wasn’t as one sided IMO

We could have done this, we could have done that, whatever. We could have played the exact same game and would have won by double digits if the refereeing wasn't a complete fiasco. In the end, you are giving someone a 30m head start in the 100m dash. That's what it was.

At least in that game, it could be explained away by a Vol graduate ******* us over. There is no explanation for Saturday.

Our weirdo fans are really stepping up their game on this one. Now apparently, we should feel grateful because the refs didn't call us for more fouls.

In all my years of being a Tiger fan, I was pissed about Saturday’s game (refs and result). But I have been way more pissed at refs in other games where there was blatant screwjobs. We disagree on this one.
I assume you started a thread for a discussion and for everyone not to agree with you. If you start labeling disagreeing opinions as weird etc, then what was the point of starting the thread? Just so everyone can agree with you?

The refs found 3 extra tenths for Tulane on their last possession in regulation, but didn't even review at the end, to give us an extra few tenths when the ball went out of bounds.

You are saying that because we had less fouls on us, that the ref probably missed just as many on us. When refs look at replays for 5 minutes a pop and call a hook on McCadden, a common foul when the Tulane player holds DW's arm, KD gets clotheslined, and a ball goes out of bounds off of Tulane, any attempt at rationalizing it as the ref missing calls on both ends, is weird.

Obviously, the one thing everyone should agree with, is that it was crooked. The entire building was going crazy, but a handful of posters are agreeing with the refs.

Disagree
It’s easy to discard “we could have done this” etc but it’s not a could have. They should have hit more than 50% of their FTs in the last few mins of regulation, they should have executed better when Cook fouled out with 2 mins left in OT just like the refs should have called a flagrant when DW was fouled. We outrebounded them by 20, we had 7 less fouls and we turned the ball over 4 times more. We had 11 more offensive rebounds but couldn’t take advantage. My point is we are overlooking a lot of things that did go our way that the refs messing up could have been easily overcome. This game is not the complete screw job that we have been delivered in other games.
