Die Macht » his inaugural campaign 2-0.

I remember the first time I met coach Summitt. My grandmother and I were in awe of how powerful and sharp she was in person when she came to my projects in Astoria, New York, to recruit me to UT.She promised me three things that day: I would graduate college, I would always have my family and sisterhood at UT, and that she would always be there for me.As amazing as she was as a coach she was so much more as a person. No matter what I was going through during and after my college playing days, she was there for me. I remember when I first was having issues in college, she met with me and told me, You have to do what makes you happy. She got me the help I needed.When things spiraled out of control when I was in D.C., having these blackouts and things, coach Summitt was knocking at my door. She spent time talking with me after the season. She wanted to make sure I was ok and getting the medical attention I needed. When I lost my grandmother, when I was really struggling with my mental illness, whenever I needed her, she was there for me. When she first went public with her battle with dementia, our UT family rallied around her, but we all believed that if anyone could beat the odds it would be coach Summitt.She was something like a superhero to me. In the face of adversity she never showed weakness, she never backed down.Even up until these final days, she lived up to her promise to me and Im sure to so many others. I went to Knoxville this weekend with a heavy heart. I had received word that coach Summitts health was declining rapidly. I did not know how I would feel when I saw her.When I arrived, I was overwhelmed by the love and outpouring of support for coach Summitt.My UT family was there sharing stories, laughing, crying, wanting to be there for the woman that had never let them down. I spent some time with her and I thanked her for everything she has done for me and for every other life that she touched. People came from far and wide to be there in her presence for one last time, hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. If anyone could pull out a miracle it would be coach Summitt. But the miracle was her life and her legacy. Her incredible journey and the lives that she touched on and off the court. Her impact on the world is far greater than the game of basketball. She will forever and always be my superhero.Thank you coach Pat Summitt. David Ross Jersey . Mickelson barely made the cut but had the best round of the day with nine birdies and an eagle coupled with two bogeys to sit two shots behind leader Craig Lee of Scotland. Lee shot a 69 for a 12-under 204 total. "I just love the fact I am in contention and have an opportunity in my first tournament of the year here in Abu Dhabi," Mickelson said. Steve Cishek Cubs Jersey . But by the time the game started, the Toronto Raptors forward felt even worse. And, for three quarters, it showed as Gay shot a woeful three-for-13 from the field. http://www.cubsauthentic.com/cubs-fergie-jenkins-jersey/ .

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Every time Kansas seemed to have any momentum against Memphis, they gave the ball away.Six times, as a matter of fact.And the Tigers didnt hesitate to seize the opportunities.Memphis dominated the game defensively, grabbed an early lead and coasted to a 43-7 win over Kansas on Saturday, sending the Jayhawks to their 39th consecutive road loss.Ive never been in a game where we even came close to having that many turnovers, Kansas coach David Beaty said. Man, thats a bunch, and it continued to happen throughout the day.Riley Ferguson threw for 189 yards and two touchdowns and Jake Elliott kicked a trio of field goals -- including a 50-yarder -- as Memphis built an early lead and coasted to victory.Ferguson completed 15 of 24 passes for Memphis (2-0), the bulk of his passing yards coming on an 84-yard completion to Anthony Miller for the games first score. In addition to his 50-yarder, Elliott converted kicks of 41 and 42 yards. Memphis showed no ill-effects of a bye week after winning its opener 35-17 over Southeast Missouri State.We talked a lot about starting fast, and were really pleased with our guys preparation, Memphis coach Mike Norvell said. I thought we started fast. Defense did an incredible job. They were completely dominant.The Jayhawks, (1-2) struggled offensively throughout, although they managed 314 yards of total offense. Any momentum, though, was thwarted by the Jayhawks four fumbles and two interceptions in the game.A key swing came when Memphis reached the Kansas 13 in the closing minutes of the half. A sack and a tackle for loss, plus a couple of penalties put Memphis near midfield.Then Memphis muffed the punt attempt, giving Kansas the ball at the Tiger 38 trailing 26-7.On the first Kansas play, Memphis defensive tackle Jonathan Wilson intercepted the ball and returned it 61 yards for a touchdown and Memphis carried a 33-7 lead at the break.It shocked me big time, the soft-spoken Wilson said of the play, adding he didnt see any Jayhawks in front of him after he picked off the pass from Kansas quarterback Montell Cozart. I was thinking: `Dont let me get caught.ddddddddddddhe Jayhawks never came close to Wilson and never came close to threatening the Tigers in the second half after Memphis added Elliotts 50-yard field goal and a fourth-quarter 8-yard scoring run by Tony Pollard.Kansas only touchdown came on a third-and-1 play when Khalil Herbert broke the first wave of Memphis defenders bunched at the line of scrimmage and went 66 yards for a second-quarter touchdown.That was good to see for our line, our guys up front, continuing to work and continuing to push, Beaty said. It was a short-yardage situation. Hes a fast kid, and it was good to see him get out.TAKEAWAYS:KANSAS: The Jayhawks again struggled to open the game. Kansas, which let Ohio build a 22-0 start last week early in the second quarter, trailed Memphis 19-0.MEMPHIS: With the victory, first-year Memphis coach Mike Norvell became the first Tiger coach in history to start his inaugural campaign 2-0. Only two other Memphis coaches won the opener in their first season, and both -- Rey Dempsey in 1984 and Lester Barnard in 1922 -- dropped the second game.ROAD UNKIND: No current Jayhawk has won a game away from Lawrence. The last road win was 34-7 at Texas-El Paso on Sept. 12, 2009.IF YOU CANT JOIN `EM, BEAT `EM: The Tigers played a Big 12 Conference School for the first time since Memphis was eliminated two weeks ago from consideration as a possible expansion target for the conference.FINAL WORD: I still think that we actually have a pretty good football team, if we can just get out of our own way. .Weve just got a lot of things that were having to learn right now that we should already know. -- Kansas coach David BeatyUP NEXT:KANSAS: The Jayhawks have a bye next week before returning to the road to face Texas Tech on Sept. 29. It will be the first Thursday game for the Jayhawks since a 59-7 loss to Kansas State on Oct. 14, 2010.MEMPHIS: The Tigers continue a homestand next week facing Bowling Green. ' ' '
