but true. :angel:

Don't flatter him too much. This stuff is his mantra after all.

STLBlazer: Coach Cal, how many years have you been the head coach at the university formerly known as Memphis State?


STLBlazer: And of out of those 5, how many times have you led your team to the NCAA tournament?
[

STLBlazer: Wouldn't you say that with the money you are being paid, the resources you have at your disposal, and the highly ranked recruiting classes that just two trips isn't good enough?


STLBlazer: Should I rephrase the question for you? Okay, since you have been to the NIT more times with the Tigers than you have the NCAA tournament does that mean you prefer the NIT over the NCAA tournament? Give me two thumbs up if you like being in the NIT the most.


STLBlazer: We heard that Darius Washington had a very hard time dealing with the news that UAB was still in CUSA and that they returned 7 seniors, 6 of which were on the team that beat #1 Kentucky in the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament a few years ago. Exactly how did he take the news that UAB would be the real champ for this coming season?


STLBlazer: Man, looks like he took the news worse than we thought. Exactly how many more NCAA tourney wins does UAB have than you since they hired Mike Anderson and since you took over at Memphis?


STLBlazer: Last season you had several players on your team with questionable backgrounds, including one that had been known to take place in gang related activities. For most people it would be very difficult to communicate with them on a level that they understand, yet you developed a system of communication that worked. We have heard that you used hand signals similar to the gang signs that they would use back home. If you don't mind, could you show us an example of some of these "gang signs"?



STLBlazer: Very interesting.

STLBlazer: You and Rick Pitino had a great rivalry while Louisville was in CUSA. Aside from your similar resumes we have noticed that the two of you have similar hairstyles. We took a poll and found that 63% of college basketball fans think that Rick Pitino has better and greasier hair than you.


STLBlazer: Just kidding. We think that you have better hair and a pretty pink house.


STLBlazer: Now, let's talk about your days as head coach of the New Jersey Nets. There was an incident with a reporter that you threatened to beat up because of an article he wrote about the Nets. Looking back on that incident how does that make you feel now? Does it still fire you up or do you feel ashamed?


STLBlazer: Coach, please calm down. I was just asking a question. I didn't ask you to throw a temper tantrum.


STLBlazer: Oh, so you are going to yell at me and bring Phil Martelli into this? That's it! This interview is over. I wish you the best of luck in the postseason NIT. You're done here pal.

Dude...you really need to get over this obsession with Cal. When the Tigers go to the Sweet 16 this year (at least), what topics will you have left to post about? Maybe you can re-direct your talents to try to get more than 10K to show up for a Blazers football game.

I'm not obsessed with Cal. You are obsessed with thinking that I'm obsessed with Cal. Cal is obsessed with the NIT and I want to share that with the world.

Don't be a hater.

I can't believe you just quoted that entire big a$$ post.

Shheeessshhh!

You're not obssessed with Cal, yet you spent your entire Monday evening coming up with that masterpiece?

Hey, here's a question for you... have you EVER said ANYTHING even REMOTELY positive about Memphis or John Calipari? Not that I can recall. But you've admitted on more than one occasion that it eats you up inside how we get all of the national press and respect, while UAB is nothing more than an after-thought in the media.

So that makes me wonder who the "hater" truly is in this situation. :laugh:

Nice effort, though. It would be even nicer if you had the ability to pull for your conference bretheren every once in a blue moon, instead of constantly looking for ways to run them into the ground.

Actually, I only spent 30 minutes this evening after I got home from work on that interview. I'm just thankful that Coach Cal was able to work with my schedule.

Yes, I have said some nice things about Cal and Memphis. As a matter of fact, if you look back in the interview I did compliment Cal on his hair and his house. I would like for you to take note of that for future reference.

We may be an "after thought" with the preseason media but over the past two seasons it's been Memphis that was the after thought with the postseason media while UAB was busy earning it's respect and attention.

Nah, I give him props for putting that together. Now I'm gonna have to do some surfing to come up with a rebuttal. Maybe a Q&A session with Mike Anderson and Nolan Richardson

I'm looking forward to laughing at it.

:D

Go UAB!

Just for reference purposes... here's some info about Cal's house:

It sits on 1.267 acres in the exclusive Galloway area of Memphis, approximately 1 mile from the University of Memphis campus.

Built in 1998, the 2 storey home has 7,086 square feet consisting of 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, 3 half-baths and 2 fireplaces.

The land appraised for $235,000 and the building appraised for $1,260,000 for a total appraisal of $1,495,000.

Oh, and he has a basketball court on site.

Like I said on our board, StLBlazer's post would show who the good Memphis fans are and who the bad ones are. Those that took offense are waay too defensive of Calipari. Wonder why?

So SLB can tell us which Tiger fans are good and which are bad?

And the entire thing is PINK.

To a guy, it's pink. To a woman it's fuscia or mauve or something like that.

Dude has 7,000 sq ft and a basketball court. Who cares what color it is?

Here's a well-know pink house in Memphis not too far from Cal's house.

The Pink Palace

Nah, I give him props for putting that together. Now I'm gonna have to do some surfing to come up with a rebuttal. Maybe a Q&A session with Mike Anderson and Nolan Richardson

Nah, I give him props for putting that together.  Now I'm gonna have to do some surfing to come up with a rebuttal.  Maybe a Q&A session with Mike Anderson and Nolan Richardson 

greek, i took your idea, and ran with it at 1am in the morning - here goes:


Hi, I’m Arkansas Razorback’s Former National Championship Coach Nolan Richardson, and I am joined by my very good friend, and brother – Mike Anderson. Thanks for coming Mike, it really means a lot to me to see a face that looks like mine sitting here with me.


Nolan, you know I love you baby! Nothin’ but love!


NO, Mikey, I love YOU!! Now, lets get down to the nitty-gritty. As you know, I am looking for a job, and I was wondering – what would you tell a man in my position? A man who has won a national championship, that is looking for another chance in the college ranks?



I would say “Nolan, you gotta keep your name out there, and set yourself apart from all the rest.

Oh, it's good. No doubting that.

Great stuff on both sides.

This is why I love C-USA now that the riff raff is gone replaced with quality schools with quality fans.

Even Laura and Owljacket.

Awwww, we wuv you too! :D

Like I said on our board bjmcvay's post would show who the good UAB fans are and who the bad ones are.

I know you Blazer fans aren't taking this seriously. It was a joke guys.

We all need to stop being so sensitive.

Laugh sometimes. It doesn't hurt. Unless you have a hernia. :laugh:

do you remember the article in the memphis paper about the game memphis played at uab where the uab fan who dressed up like cal and sat behind their bench with a sign saying he was coach cals illegitamate son?

No, but that's pretty funny.

guess who that fan was? i'll give a clue he lives out of state.
