@8 The cost of living is cheap and I appreciate that. However, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that Houston is the best city in the world…

But us Memphians sure are comfortable here in Houston. 18 points comfortable…

Houston is the BEST CITY IN THE WORLD! Everything is bigger and the cost of living is much cheaper down here.

Funny how O.J. Mayo was so hyped up at the beginning of the season, yet Love is the PAC 10 player of the year.

Rose is good, great even, but Kevin Love, O.J. Mayo and most definitely Michael Beasley are better…

With that said, Rose is still a top 5 pick. God I hope he can keep up with D.J. Augustin…

I’m a Memphis fan who lives in Memphis. Go Tigers!!!! I have been to Houston once–nice city. Loved NASA. Wish I was coming for the game. How about Rose? How many freshmans go pro?

Calipari is a far better recruiter than bench coach. I am still appalled that he did not bring someone in to address that free throw mess. They shot 47% yesterday, 70% makes the score 84-74 instead of 77-74. He had all season and they still throw up bricks. The Tigers will need to knock that kid Neitzel around like they did Lofton who got just seven against Memphis. As I recall Rose did a good job on him and when he rested, Calipari put Allen on him to rough him up. It just appears to me that MSU does not match up well with Memphis.

Zigzag, yes you can still travel down Telephone Rd/Hwy 35 to get to Hobby Airport. However, Telephone Rd is also a Red Light District on certain parts so if there are any visitors that are into that type of thing, there you go…

The only problem that I see with Michigan St. is that the whole entire team is physical and Izzo is a better x’s and o’s guy than Calipari. And they have that kid that looks like Powder that can shoot the lights out…

Oh, the museum is now the Houston Museum of Fine Arts and is going strong. I have not been there yet but probably will sooner or later…

Congrats, it takes a man of steel to live in Houston. Is that Museum named for Ima Hogg still functioning? I assume that you can still travel down Telephone Road to Hobby? By the way, the Tigers are a lock against MSU, those 6-0 guards that do the scoring have their work cut out for them against Rose at 6-3, CDR at 6-7 and Anderson at 6-6. Dorsey is out of his coma and will knock their big guys around ala Rhodes and Varnado. Rose, of course, is the key as he steathly goes about his business, had 17 pts, 9 rebs and 7 asts yesterday. He plays far beyond the college level and actually has to throttle his game so the others can keep up.
