@benji
I heard the same thing but didn’t put the two together. An interview with Cowherd here would be gold!

TBL, bury the hatchet; interview Cowherd!

i can’t wait to see this interview. i was flipping through the radio earlier and i stopped on the Schrutebag, and heard him mention “an interview with a blogger from Friday.” TBL, please tell me this is coincidence.

I need to get this straight though for next time I question a team’s credentials. It was okay to doubt Kansas because Bill Self could never get his team past the Elite Eight. But if I question Memphis’ ability to close big games because they didn’t get past the Elite Eight, there are racist implications behind my decision?

If..if…if. The word of dreamers.

Purdue hasnt won a title since 1932. Kids actually go to Purdue to get an education, ill give you that. But if you want to play in the NBA, you have a better shot with Memphis than Purdue. when was the last time someone from Purdue left school early to go to the pros? Big Dog, ten years ago.

Give me a break with that graduation rate bullshit. dont hate cause Purdue isnt in it. Purdue will take a back seat to tOSU next year

Butler, Notre Dame, Purdue and Western Kentucky would comprise the 2008 men's Final Four if it was based on graduation rates, according to a study performed by the University of Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport.

Sorry, that number is based on the median six-year graduation rate for black men (not just basketball players, but the entire student population) at school that made the 2007 NCAA men’s basketball tournament is 50.6%. The highest is Vanderbilt (92.6%), while the lowest is Memphis (18.9%). Seventeen schools graduate one-third or fewer black men within six years.

PurdueMatt, why wouldn’t you ask that of North Carolina?

I love the way a Jesse Jackson opportunistic photo op and the 40th anniversary of the MLK asassination made this team The Official Team of The Civil Rights Movement.
