Liberty Bowl, Tigers Bowling and Grizzlies

East Carolina locked up a bid to the Liberty Bowl today by beating Tulsa in the Conference USA Championship game. Most "experts" are predicting the Pirates will be matched up with Vanderbilt.

The Memphis Tigers will also be bowling this year, most likely in the St. Petersburg Bowl. There is a small chance the Tigers could be in the Armed Forces Bowl in Ft. Worth, the GMAC Bowl in Mobile or even to the Indepence Bowl in Shreveport, but these chances are not likley.

The Grizzlies ended their 7 game slide last night with a victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. There were tons of empty seats. If it weren't for a hyped-up group of high school kids that stood up and cheered all night, you would have been able to hear a pin drop. The economy can be used as an excuse, but there is really only one thing that will improve attedance...winning.
