THE SPORT HOT NEWS

Because.......he is a black man......and married to a white woman.....

Turner Gill has had a very long wait........to get into the big time college football arena.   A graduate of the University of Nebraska.....a star quarterback .......this man bid his time as an assistant coach.....before finally taking a head coaching job at Buffalo.

Buffalo?   No ......not that Buffalo.    This was .....the University of Buffalo.  A college team that had just 16 wins in 9 years.    9 years!

Gill wins 20.......in just three years......with really no Division I players......playing against.....Division I schools.

Why?   None of the big schools would touch him.

Gill  is now.....on the big screen.......the big stage....(if you can call Kansas big league).

But it is a step up.   We applaud Kansas for stepping up and making a statement.   The year is almost 2010.    Judge a man for his ability........not......a predetermined belief......of old white guys.

Turner Gill has proven.........he can coach.....and he can recruit........

It's a shame.....it took this long......to get ......a real job.

It started out.......




with 64 teams.......beginning on a Thursday back in March. Today, after 72 games... 62 teams eliminated.... The 2008 NCAA Mens Basketball tournament has come down to the final 2. The game will be broadcast by CBS from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Game time is a rather latish 9:21 p.m. EDT. The Memphis Tigers bring their NCAA record setting 38 wins versus only 1 loss against the Kansas Jay hawks with an impressive 36-3 record of their own.

Memphis lost their only game of the season on February 23 against state rival and then 2nd ranked Tennessee. A see-saw game so the Vols win 66-62.

Kansas lost their three games.....all on the road. At Kansas State (75-84), at Texas (69-72), and at Oklahoma State (60-61)

Both teams have been impressive in the tournament. Both have speed and quickness.....height and size......Both schools are well coached.

But after tonight.....only one will be the winner.

64......to 32........to 16......to 8.....to 4......to 2..........

And then .......to only ......1!

Memphis.....
