                             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 Calipari 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.
