Grizzlies took a pivotal game 5 in LA tonight to make the series 3-2. Have a chance to end the series on home court.
I don't know why it's this way but it is, completely.Sorry, no one around here (read Middle Tennessee) gives a flying **** about anything Memphis
Hope they can do it!Grizzlies took a pivotal game 5 in LA tonight to make the series 3-2. Have a chance to end the series on home court.
I just came from the Titans caravan here in Crossville. I don't understand why the Preds do not do more of this. They never leave Nashville for their stops if they make any at all.
I remember those days but the team needs to start doing these again and go to more areas of middle TN. than just the suburbsthey used to do it every fall. My son and I met Adam Hall and Vokoun in Clarksville back in 2001 or 2002.
Memphis advances to their first ever Western Conference Final tonight.
Wait now, I got blasted for supporting them a week or so ago when they were about to edge past the Clippers
Really though, huge win tonight - and I'm so stoked that the franchise is reaching a milestone it never has before. Having lived in Memphis and Middle TN both, I've always been annoyed by the rivalry that's existed between the two areas - naturally, the national bandwagon is going to run with some Grizzlies hype from here on out (after taking out the Clips and Thunder, both supposed title contenders weeks ago), but I'd really like, naively, for all of TN to get behind the home team. I know Memphis isn't Nashville. Hell, it's not even Murfreesboro or Cool Springs, but it's its own little special slice of Tennessee. The BBQ, Beale Street, Memphis in May, Gus's Chicken (to die for)...geographical preferences aside, I think any native of the state has some appreciation of the above. Let's show some support for the basketball team reaching a milestone they've never achieved before, and hope for the best. It's best for the city, best for the state, and will go a long, long way to making the hockey offseason go by a lot faster.
I've been a Grizzlies fan since their Vancouver days...never could get into the Raps, so when Vancouver got screwed I pretty much inherited Memphis as my "team" - whenever I felt like following the NBA, anyways.
Chances are they're facing the Spurs next, and if they can repeat their series win from two years ago, we're looking at a Grizzlies team in the NBA Finals!
The NBA in general is an afterthought in Middle Tennessee media.
the preds have never been down 3-0 in a series, no?
ETSU is going to its first NCAA baseball tournament in 32 years. They whipped Kennesaw State 7-2 today to win the Atlantic Sun title.
Calling the game?
