Maybe doing somersaults? Palms sweaty? Head swimming with hopes and possibilities?</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">At 8:21 this evening, the Memphis Tigers will play the Kansas Jayhawks for the national title.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">How can anyone read that sentence without feeling a little jittery? Memphis in the title game? Memphis with a chance -- a good chance -- to win it all?</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">"Nothing much good happens in Memphis," said forward Robert Dozier, who really didn't mean it like that. But he knows your frustrations, understands what's at stake.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">This is about basketball, plainly. And this is not about basketball.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">It is about crime and cynicism and our perceptions of ourselves. A team from Memphis winning a national title? Would Memphians even know how to react?</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">"I'd do seven back flips with one hip coming off the floor," Calipari said. "At least I'd try."</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">So there's another reason this could be a memorable night: Calipari's victory dance.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Of course, Calipari's hip won't be going anywhere if Rose's stomach doesn't settle down by this evening. His teammates did not seem concerned.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">"Derrick eats gummy bears and Starbursts for breakfast, and Twizzlers and honey buns for lunch," said Chris Douglas-Roberts. "It was bound to happen sometime."</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Calipari personally served Rose a plate of pasta after Saturday night's win, just to make sure the kid got something healthy in his stomach.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">"He didn't eat it," said Joey Dorsey. "He just pushed it around his plate."</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Dorsey replayed the scene in his head.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">"Maybe he's hungry!" he said.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Everyone laughed at this. It's the soundtrack to the Tigers' trip to the championship game. Constant laughter. From the coaches, the players and, now, the reporters covering them.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Joey, how do you explain your team's improved free-throw shooting?</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">"I'm not taking the shots," he said.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Har.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Dorsey talked to reporters for half an hour Sunday in what the NCAA calls a "breakout" session. When it ended, he was whisked away in a golf cart.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">"I've covered players from all levels, high school, college and pro," shouted a columnist from a national Web site, "and Joey, you're the best."</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Dorsey shrugged. As if to say, we've been like this all along. Y'all are just starting to pay attention.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">"We're intellectual," said Douglas-Roberts.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Intellectual?</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">"A couple of guys are very well-spoken," he said, "including myself."</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">A columnist from New Jersey stopped to ask a Commercial Appeal reporter if Rose could possibly be as humble as he appears. A columnist from Indianapolis said the Tigers remind him of Indiana's undefeated team.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">It's as if the entire world is starting to realize what Memphians knew all along.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">"This is a dream team," said Douglas-Roberts. "We support each other. We pull for each other. I've talked to enough players around the country -- and I've been on enough teams -- to know it isn't always like this."</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Every team doesn't have a transcendent talent like Rose, who blushes -- literally blushes -- whenever anyone says something nice about him. Every team doesn't have a player like Douglas-Roberts, who's as unflappable as his game.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Every team doesn't have Antonio Anderson, who lives to defend, or Willie Kemp, who is happy just to make shots.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Every player doesn't have Dorsey, part man, part toddler, part Hallmark Card.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">"I'm emotional," he said. "I couldn't get to sleep at all last night."</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Not because Dorsey is nervous about tonight's matchup with Kansas, either. Because he knows it will be his last game with this team.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Win or lose, this collection of Tigers will never play together again. They have tonight. Period. You have tonight to remember them by.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">What would you give to see Larry Finch, Larry Kenon and Ronnie Robinson play one more time? Or Andre Turner, Baskerville Holmes and Keith Lee?</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">This is the last time you will see Dorsey, Rose and Douglas-Roberts on a court together. Playing for a championship.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">It is the only way it could have ended, naturally. It is what they wanted all along.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">A chance. A chance to show what a little 'ol team from Memphis can do. A chance to play on the biggest night, on the biggest stage and for the biggest stakes.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Dorsey is writing another story for the occasion. As usual, he wouldn't say how it goes. Reporters asked Douglas-Roberts, instead. Any clues, Chris?</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Douglas-Roberts smiled and stroked his chin. You know, the way he does.</p> <p style="color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">"I don't know the other parts," he said, "but I know how it ends."</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240816671254701588.post-17264891399128755332008-04-07T08:00:00.000-07:002008-04-07T11:43:04.130-07:00saturday and for the love of basketball<span style="font-family:georgia;">so the fabulous memphis tigers won and are off to the national championship!<br /><br />we have been watching the games at old zinny's then of course making our way to the lamp then to east.<br /><br />saturday we went with all intentions of eating, but by the time we got there, we were both too nervous to eat.<br /><br />so we had a liquid dinner of pitchers of beer. we went to the lamplighter to "watch" the ku and nc game.<br /><br />nc didn't even show up for that game.<br />so we played pool and miss shirley made us a patty melt.<br /><br />for some reason when going to zinny's east, the drink of the evening always ends up being jeger bombs. i do mean plural too.<br /><br />then off to bed.<br />only to wake up the next morning, glad it's sunday, and wishing i had an asprin.<br /><br />tonight, championship game.<br />old zinny's.<br />be there.<br />wear blue!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">GO TIGERS GO!</span><br /><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240816671254701588.post-7830094424023147752008-04-04T06:46:00.000-07:002008-04-04T07:21:47.939-07:00out and about, -ishthe rommie and i started out last night at the blue monkey. <br />the overall goal was to get him some dinner. <br />after 4 rounds of drinks, we head to the lamplighter.<br />miss shirley makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches ever.<br />rommie has dinner.<br />then off to zinny's east for yeager bombs and a coors.<br /><br />so, i've been to zinny's east before, but out of those several times, i remember 3.<br />last night, i did remember. <br />the bartender, however, i don't remember. <br />apparently, i had met him on a binge of sorts. <br />roomie did remember. <br />we argued about meeting said bartender for a bit.<br />then retired for the evening.<br /><br />happy friday midtown.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5240816671254701588.post-12424708715854783582008-04-03T17:10:00.001-07:002008-11-06T18:32:35.384-08:00an afternoon at the bayou<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib7rEhQWWWtTIL5KbQi4R57s5oYC0lix_ypoa79Dy6dl5w1cFFUbzigtvjasXxUfAcFMmEI15t_latBRRlddPNPjBhSvdeoeM3zTx2cXqHoQCdfHkENwKWDV__dXYshF1zIwQuvSqwdY4/s1600-h/beer.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib7rEhQWWWtTIL5KbQi4R57s5oYC0lix_ypoa79Dy6dl5w1cFFUbzigtvjasXxUfAcFMmEI15t_latBRRlddPNPjBhSvdeoeM3zTx2cXqHoQCdfHkENwKWDV__dXYshF1zIwQuvSqwdY4/s320/beer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185181256111546882" border="0" /></a><br /><br />so it poured down rain most of the day, only to let up around 2. from then on, it was a beautiful day in midtown.<br />a friend, her daughter and i all went to the bayou for drinks and some snacks.<br /><br />there is nothing like sitting outside, drinking a stella, and eating the bayou's stuffed shrimp.<br />it was awesome.<br />i also had a cup of their gumbo and the basket of crawfish tales.<br />i should have stopped at the gumbo.<br /><br />my friend had the sampler of their "soups"<br />a bisque, alligator chili, red beans and rice and 2 gumbos.<br />the chili was the best. it had a great tomato flavor.<br />second was the regular seafood gumbo<br />followed by the bisque<br />i wasn't a fan of the red beans. not their fault though, i'm just not a red bean fan in general.<br />and lastly was their duck and andouille sausage gumbo.<br />honestly i didn't really taste it.<br />i was full.<br /><br />i'm off for now to see more sights of our fair city....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
