                             MEMPHIS TIGERS

  Mr. ALEXANDER. Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Montana 
especially.
  There is sorrow in our Bluff City on the Mississippi River and across 
Tennessee today because the noble University of Memphis Tigers lost 
last night to Kansas in the finals of the NCAA National Championship 
basketball tournament. But there is also reason for great pride. The 
ebullient John Calapiari and his team gave Memphis a new source of 
pride and the sport a season to remember, winning more games than any 
college basketball team ever has. Years from now, fans will be talking 
about the magical Douglas-Roberts, the indomitable Dorsey, the 
ubiquitous Anderson, the reliable Dozier, the explosive Rose, and the 
super sub Taggart. They have given fans a great year. They have helped 
unify Tennessee's largest city. They should hold their heads high as we 
look toward next year.
