Liberty Bowl Changes, Big Daddy Kane, Brooks Uncorked

Local college football fans will soon start  seeing changes to the caliber of teams appearing in the Liberty Bowl. The recently renewed four year contracts still call for the top team in Conference USA to play in the game. The C-USA opponent will still be a SEC representative, but now it will be the 9th or 10th place team from the conference. Liberty Bowl officials are also looking for ways to incorporate the Big East back into the mix. There have been talks of using a Big East school if the SEC doesn't have a enough qualified teams or as an occasional replacement for C-USA. 

Looking to kick it old school this weekend? Big Daddy Kane is playing at Minglewood Hall tomorrow night. Didn't realize this guy was still around. If only Slick Rick was joining him on stage. The closest thing to Slick Rick will be his former partner in crime Dana Dane, who will be joining BDK on stage along with Chubb Rock.

A little BDK for your listening pleasure...





Brooks Uncorked is coming up on Friday, April 16 at the Brooks Museum. For $100 you get to sample over 50 wines and food from some of Memphis' best restaurants. This year's added twist? Music provided by Raiford. Will there be 40s of wine? Thunderbird anyone?
