U of M Alumni Association NCAA Tournament Blog: 2009-03-22

The Alumni Association would like to thank all of the great Tiger fans that came out and supported the U of M at all of our pep rallies and functions over the past few weeks of the NCAA tournament!

We had a great crowd of TRUE BLUE fans at the pep rally here in Glendale, AZ yesterday and everyone enjoyed cheering on the team with the help of the Mighty Sound of the South, the full Tiger Pom and Dance team, and all of the Tiger Cheerleaders! Everyone loved their new blinking blue Tiger glasses that the Alumni Association gave away to our fans that came out to the pep rally. We always appreciate all of our fans support and great level of commitment!

Thanks again to the Tigers and all of the fans that were cheering us on!

Join the University of Memphis Alumni Association for a TRUE BLUE Sweet Sixteen Pep Rally in Arizona. The Pep Rally will begin at 2:00 MT (local Glendale time) in the Renaissance Glendale Hotel Media Center. The hotel is located right across the street from the University of Phoenix Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals. So after the Pep Rally you can join the legions of U of M Tiger fans as they march across the street to take on the Missouri Tigers! The area itself is a great area to wander around and shop, eat, or relax. It's got tons of restaurants, green space and there is ample shopping to enjoy if you want to stick around this area of town.

The Alumni Association will provide sweet treats for the Sweet Sixteen, soft drinks and a cash bar. Come get some great food and have a great time with all of our terrific fans that made the trip to Phoenix and all of the True Blue local alumni that we have in the Phoenix area. We're also going to have the Mighty Sound of South Marching Band and the full Tiger Pom and Cheer squads on hand to give the Pep Rally a great TRUE BLUE atmosphere!

Remember the Coach Cal masks that were the runaway hit giveaway of the first round games? Well we've got an even better surprise giveaway for all of our fans that come out to join us at the Sweet 16 pep rally! Make sure to get there right at 2:00 sharp so that you can make sure to get your special U of M giveaways!

You can't beat the location for this party. It's right across the street from the stadium and the Alumni Association is going to have the place decked out for our Tigers! If the pep rallies we held in Kansas City are any indication, this one will be jam packed with our great Tiger fans! So get there early to check out the festivities! Go Tigers Go!
