Hopped on that bandwagon in 2007 back in that year [ Calipari Rose] and have rode it since.

That first-round loss to Derrick Williams and Arizona two years ago
thought that was our year

Last year, Majerus and St. Louis coming through and crushin the buildings

They are looking tonight though. Joe Jackson facilitating like the young A.I. that he is that Damon Stoudamire coaching that he's getting is gonna set him straight.

Any other Tigers fans on here?

I'm a big fan of Pookie Powell, seems like the real deal from everything I've seen.

And I dunno, I really don't think we've seen enough from Pastner to judge how good/bad he is. This might be a telling year, even Pastner said this is the best team he's coached yet.

Also, fukked around and made this the official thread for the season
