Some of you old-timers remember the play of my Fraternity Brother Wendell Ladner and other past great players. Jackie Laird (playing in the old gym), Spoon, Fisher, Keys, and so many others. Who can forget the great match-ups in the Old Metro Conference, especially Memphis State?
For a time, we yearned for a conference championship or a simple winning season that eluded us. Unfortunately, we have been among the worst teams in all of College basketball in the last few years. We battled MTSU for two years for the bottom spot in the conference. Ironically, they rose to the top last year, and we remained at the bottom.
We have an opportunity to do the same. We are now at the top of the conference and have an RPI of 55. Our coach was destined to be fired last year and is in a great position now to become coach of the year. No one knows how the season will end, but it has been a hell of a ride so far.
