Memphis Basketball Not So Bad After All?

When Dribble-Drive guru John Calipari high-tailed it to Kentucky, the jilted Memphis program was pretty much left for dead -- even on this very site. The new coach was fresh-faced Josh Pastner, an assistant under Calipari, but a first-time head coach who had a passing resemblence to an almost-grown Bobby Brady, and was throwing around phrases like "underneath the radar," "underdogs," and "no expectations" -- battle cry rhetoric if I've ever heard it...

"One day, I'll be the head coach of the Memphis Tigers," he seemed to say... 

Pastner and his squad were thrown into the deep end right away, having to play the #1 Kansas Jayhawks in just their second game of the season. The matchup was scheduled before Memphis' summer of discontent, and was supposed to be a showdown between the preseason #1 and #2. But, of course, things did not quite work out so well on Memphis' end, and the matchup between the unranked team going up against the consensus #1 looked like just another early-season blowout.

Well, games are played on the court, as they say, not on paper. And Memphis came to play: they showed their mettle and hung tough, taking the game to the final shot, which Memphis missed. But giving the #1 team in the country a run for their money and coming up one basket short (57-55), if nothing else, put the nation on alert. Memphis isn't rolling over this season, and the Tigers are still a team to be reckoned with.

As for Coach Pastner? Well, overnight, he's gone from boy scout to "Boy Wonder." It's not going to be easy for Pastner and co., but Conference USA still goes through Memphis, it seems, and if Memphis can make it to the Dance, who knows? March Madness wasn't named for its predictability.

Fashion Friday Game: Celebrity Fashion Collaborations

While Justin's own fashion line William Rast continues to grow - as William Rast launched several new retail stores this month, left and right other celebrities are stretching their creative juices in fashion. Kate Moss has put Top Shop on the shopping map internationally, Kanye West snagged a sneaker project with Louis Vuitton, and Brangelina's just announced they are doing a jewelry line with Asprey. Hell, even Lindsey Lohan tried really really hard to creatively direct Emanuel Ungaro.

It has us guessing who is next to bring out their inner Project Runway and try their luck collaborating with a label.

With that in mind, we mocked up a few POTENTIAL celebrity & fashion brand collaborations.

WHICH COMBO DO YOU THINK WOULD BE MOST BAD-ASS?

POTENTIAL CELEB FASHION COLLABORATIONS:

1. Twilight + Chanel

Karl Lagerfeld's classic black and white ensembles drip of vampirical emotion.


2. Snoop Dogg for Versace

Everyone's favorite Father Hood could probably drop it like it's hot for Donatella's slinky dresses. And Donna's def a fan of bling...

3. Marilyn Manson + Givenchy

Heavy metal detailing and a gothic edge would make for some hardcore fashion.

  

4. Perez Hilton for Barbie

This dream team already has something in common: a love for all things pink.

France Cheats On Way To World Cup?

“Such a cheater! Well that's expected from an ex-Arse player! "I will be honest, it was a handball," said striker Henry, "but I'm not the ref." ^ doesn't justify what you did just by admitting to it. If you're a decent player you'll stop the play and have the goal disallowed. Ireland deserved to go through, outplaying France the whole match! I really hope France will get knocked out in the first round!”

“ A common misunderstanding is that by this method a hypothesis can be proven or tested. Generally a hypothesis is used to make predictions that can be tested by observing the outcome of an experiment. If the outcome is inconsistent with the hypothesis, then the hypothesis is rejected. However, if the outcome is consistent with the hypothesis, the experiment is said to support the hypothesis. research papers This careful language is used because researchers recognize that alternative hypotheses may also be consistent with the observations. In this sense, a hypothesis can never be proven, but rather only supported by surviving rounds of scientific testing and, eventually, becoming widely thought of as true (or better, predictive), but this is not the same as it having been proven. A useful hypothesis allows prediction and within the accuracy of observation of the time, the prediction will be verified. As the accuracy of observation improves with time, the hypothesis may no longer provide an accurate prediction. In this case a new hypothesis will arise to challenge the old, and to the extent that the new hypothesis makes more accurate predictions than the old, the new will supplant it.”
