I still remember feeling the seemingly endless stream of tears glistening down my face. And no, as a fan of Memphis Tiger athletics for as long as I can remember, I’m not talking about the AAC championship from this past Saturday in which the Tigers walked away with a 29-24 victory over the Cincinnati Bearcats at the Liberty Bowl.
Instead, this was a memory from April 7th, 2008—the night the Memphis Tigers lost 75-68 to the Kansas Jayhawks in the NCAA Men’s national championship. Even to this very day, I can still vividly remember every little detail from the final 2:12 of that game.
