Start off with saying congrats on a big win over the Tigers. I can't say as though I watched much of the game (family outings sometimes get in the way of enjoying a good basketball game). However, if you read the Memphis board, y'all stole one from us with the foul disparity. Don't know if that's the truth or typical fan reaction when your team loses. Married into the Tiger family, so not blinded by blue blood. Must say that it is enjoyable to see another teams fan base passionate about their team. Years in conference USA have had us begging for this kind of competition.
Close games with teams of history and talent such as between my Tigers and all of y'all's Huskies has the making of a solid foundation for a basketball conference. Ignore the hatred from the the blinded tiger fans. While everyone wants to be in the big money conference, the fact that we can be in a conference with teams that will constantly push us, will only mean good things for us and the conference as a whole. Here is to the beginning of a good rivalry.
Pas. Hope some of you can make it down to the Fed Ex Forum for what is shaping up to be an electric conference tournament.
