Big Star Update, Tigers/Rebels, Brackets

Big Star lead singer Alex Chilton died of an apparent heart attack yesterday in New Orleans. In addition to Big Star, Chilton was also an integral part of The Box Tops. No announcement has been made regarding Big Star's May 15 show at the Levitt Shell.

With the Tigers last second win over St. John's, Memphis will now travel to Oxford to play Ole Miss in the second round of the N.I.T tomorrow at 5:30pm. The game will be televised by ESPN2. Its hard to believe the last time the schools played each other in basketball was December of 2006. It seems like a natural rivalry in all sports that should be played every year. Maybe now that Cal is gone, the rivalry will be renewed. 

With upsets like Murray State over Vanderbilt (Poor Vandy) and Ohio over Georgetown, everyone's brackets must be hurting right now. And it's only the first day of the NCAA tournament! Tennessee is up next against San Diego State. Go Aztecs!!!


Ladies and gentlemen, Big Star and the Box Tops
