The CheckerBoard

Wes,

You think not playing TN in the coming years since Pastner wouldn't agree had a factor? Surely not a huge one, but I bet it was discussed. Wonder how much that actually will hurt us in the long run with Memphis kids?

I enjoy reading your posts but being a young black male from Memphis who bleeds vols football but has a thing for tiger basketball (which is not why I'm here apparently) that is a ignorant comment..u should try visiting the city instead of just watching old re runs of the first 48

I saw both he and Hubbs play this past Saturday against each other. While Nichols was a man on the court, there was no player even close to his size. He simply turned and dunked every time he got the ball inside. My son asked me during the game how Nichols would do against players his own size. That's a good question. He runs the court and hustles, but he is slow and didn't appear to have an array of moves. He only rarely handled the ball and no mid range or outside shots were attempted. For anyone that has seen him play, how does he do against kids his own size? He just looks like he would struggle against bigger players with his quickness and skill set. May be wrong, but just what I saw Saturday.

My mom and dad went to UT Med school in Memphis. Going to Memphis was part of our summer ritual and was something I always looked forward to. I love Beal Street and Interstate BBQ.

I was referring to the University of Memphis and CJP. Bad choice of words maybe but, if you're trying to turn it into a race thing, you're way off base.

UT board and I hate Memphis Basketball OK?

Glad you got him.

Fair enough, not trying to "upset" anyone. Like I said, bad choice of words. It's a rival school thing ONLY. Just ticked we lost another one.
