Saturday Fun: Tigers-Vols, Chicks On Skates, Charlie Mars...

Here are some recommendations for those looking to enjoy another cold day in Memphis.

Coach Cal and his Tigers take on UT-Knoxville today in men's basketball action. The game is on the road, so local watering holes should be crowded with fans from both schools for the 2:30 tipoff. Tigers by 5 in a competitive contest.

The ladies from Memphis Roller Derby will kick off another season tonight at the Mid-South Fairgrounds. Tickets are reasonably priced and festivities start at 7pm.

Charlie Mars is playing at the Hi-Tone tonight. Many may remember Mr. Mars from their college days in the mid-to-late 90's. His shows are usually pretty good.

The Grizzlies lost their first game with new coach Lionel Hollins...not a surprise. The CA is also reporting that Heisley made the call to hire Hollins...of course.
