Well again we are deep in the NCAA Tournament and in the public eye but this is a different team that this country has never seen we won over Texas after every sports analyst said we wouldn’t escape the South region and we walk through it with relative ease now we get to the biggest game and our back up point guard wants to do drugs and is suspended for the game and maybe never be a tiger again (you would think he would stay off it at least till after the Championship game, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity). Our coach is trying to clean up the image (according to the news) What really troubled me was what I heard in Psych class (wow, really good blog material)
According to him the Commercial Appeal took a look at where the former Tigers are who made the first Final Four run in 1985 today he said two of them have bad jobs, one is dead, one in jail, and the other is doing ok. He believed why you would come up with this evidence now like they want our tigers to lose in the tournament and it effects our image because if someone were to look at our local papers it seems like we have little confidence in our own team. To look at it objectively it is bad timing, just root for the tigers, but it does address the problem that if you don’t go pro in sports you are basically used by the school and have little to show for it.
