This is one heck of a week to be from Memphis.  Not only did we get a bowl win with the football team, but we pulled off a major win last night on ESPN 2.

I’ve got a diploma from the University of Memphis, but will admit to having never been a major supporter of the sports programs.  We’ve just too many dumb things over the years to get excited when something does go right.  Now it looks like Tommy West and John Calipari may have turned the corner for good.

West hopefully has somebody on the bench that can fill the shoes of DeAngelo Williams.  I kind of doubt it, but am holding out hope.  And after years of coming close, but losing his key players to the NBA, maybe Coach Cal has his team in place.  They held the best shooter in the country to zero points last night for almost ten minutes.  Not bad for starting five underclassmen.

Yep.  It’s a good day for me to be on the Memphis sports bandwagon.

More later.
