Porter Heat, High Point Triathlon, Backstreet Closed, Circa On The Move

The local media is probably giving Memphis football coach Larry Porter the most heat of any first coach in the country, maybe ever. Yes, the Tigers are 1-8, but does Porter deserve a little more slack? It's not like Tommy West left the program with a lot of talent. A new system combined with sub par players will result in a losing season. If the Tigers have the same issues and record next year, give Porter the boot.

The High Point Pub's Triathlon is coming up this Saturday from 6:30pm until 11:30pm. This event consists of a two-person team competing in three events - shuffleboard, darts, and a "Mystery" event. To sign up, visit a bartender at the Pub as quickly as possible. The entry fee is $15/person which includes food and beer, while supplies last.

The Commercial Appeal is reporting that Midtown's Backstreet club has been closed, once again, by law enforcement officials. Since this isn't the first time the club has been in trouble, there is a good chance that city and county officials may prohibit the bar from opening its doors again. 

As expected, Circa has officially begun the moving process from Downtown to East Memphis. Circa is planning to reopen in the Regalia Center in mid-December. In Circa's place will be Bar None, a casual restaurant/bar. Bar None will be open during Downtown's restaurant week (Nov 15-21), but will close until late November for renovations.
