Coaching Search Continues, More Free Denny's, Cardinals In Town This Weekend

The Memphis Tigers are continuing their search to replace John Calipari. Memphis administrators and boosters are looking to make a "splash" with a big name, but have not had luck as of yet. The hot name on the list now is Bruce Pearl. It will be fun to see how Memphis fans treat Pearl if he gets the job. Not a big name, but a long shot...East Tennessee's Murray Bartow.

Coming off of their successful free Grandslam promotion, Denny's will once again be giving away free food. On Wednesday, April 8 from 6am to 2pm, participating Denny's locations will be giving away free Grandslamwiches with the purchase of a Grandslam breakfast.

A hidden gem that has been lost in the coaching change media frenzy is the St. Louis Cardinals exhibition games against the Memphis Redbirds this season. Tickets are still available for both games. First pitch is 7:05pm on Friday and 1:05pm on Saturday. Side note - the weather looks great for both games.

To get you in the spirit...John Fogerty with Keith Urban.
