Memphis Madness!



Friday marked the official start of Tiger Basketball season, so a bunch of us headed downtown to the FedEx Forum for Memphis Madness. Our group had a great time, some of us (the "real" fans) more than others. (Thanks for coming anyway, guys!)
I myself loved every minute and almost screamed myself horse. Highlights included the raising of last year's banner, a video montage of last year's national championship run, an appearance by Chris Douglas-Roberts, and a team scrimmage.



Tigers are #1!



The family in our Tiger gear. Sorry, Chad, I couldn't find my tiger ears.





The Forum was packed! We got there right at starting time and had to sit on the top level.






The event didn't start until 8 o'clock, but the kids did great. At least until the very end. On the way out, Callie saw someone with a slushie and immediately started shrieking for one. When she finally understood that she would not be getting a $6 slushie at almost 10 o'clock at night, she lost her mind.



She screamed the entire way to the car and most of the way home. But upon our arrival at home, the backseat looked like this:



GO TIGERS, GO!
