Memphis Madness, Downtown Dining, Perfect Preseason For Grizzlies

Memphis Madness returns tonight to kickoff men's and women's basketball seasons at the University of Memphis. This is a free event at FedEx Forum. I encourage everyone to get there early. Last year there was an overflow crowd and fans were turned away.

Downtown Dining Week has been announced for November 15 - November 21. Most participating restaurants are three courses for $20.10 and there a few where two people can dine for $20.10. Make your reservations now.

Has anyone else noticed that the Grizzlies are undefeated so far during preseason play? Yes, the games are meaningless, but it good to see the fight that this team has. Hopefully this continues into the regular season. The Grizzlies play at home against the Milwaukee bucks on Saturday night. Tickets are still available.
