UT Loses
Such are the things that make me happy ...
» Chron: Memphis grabs Final Four spot at Texas' expense
Outstanding! I'm curious about the game attendance figure, though. 32,798. I'm assuming that something like a dozen of them were Memphis fans. My own familiarity is that it's not uncommon for the final game to have a low number since two schools' alumni/students have already headed home. But still, this was essentially a home game for UT. Maybe what's really troubling me about this is that there's just not more UT fans that are moping about today from this loss.
I'm not as overly concerned about the attendance that might otherwise be a concern. Essentially, the Regionals are a trial run for a Final Four. And I've got to think there's no problem filling Reliant up for a Final Four.

"Outstanding"?, I should expect nothing less from a bitter Cougar High fan that misses his dear Phi Slama Jama.
Oh and why were not moping...well let's see, now we can move on to the next sport where we are Nationally ranked and are a perennial National Champion contender - baseball(#14), or track & field (#12), and especially since it puts us another season closer to football!
Hook'em,
Ted
So it's agreed. We mutually celebrate the loss of tu sports teams ;-)
