Stumblin' Santas, Welcome Back Le Chardonnay, Football

Just a reminder to dust of your Santa suits, elf costumes or whatever holiday costume that you like to wear. The 6th Annual Stumblin' Santa Pub Crawl will take place Saturday night in Downtown Memphis. All the fun starts at 6:30pm at the Flying Saucer. Make sure you get an early boost of Christmas cheer by going to the Memphis Holiday Parade before you get your stumble on. The parade starts at 5pm with a short route on South Main Street from GE Patterson to the Orpheum.

Le Chardonnay is back! Owners closed the popular Overton Square spot last year to open Italian-themed The Villa. The new Le Chardonnay will feature its popular menu items in addition to some of the best dishes from The Villa.

It's hard to believe how quickly the 2010 college football season has gone by. The story lines were great this year. Cam Newton, undefeated teams, BCS busters and we still have the bowl season to add to the drama. Championship weekend kicks off tomorrow with the MAC Championship game. Here's to another fun-filled football weekend.

Here's the picks for this week.

Last Week: 2-4
Season: 51-27 (65%)

MAC Championship - Northern Illinois over Miami (OH)
C-USA Championship - Central Florida over SMU
SEC Championship  - Auburn over South Carolina
ACC Championship - Virginia Tech over Florida State
Big 12 Championship - Oklahoma over Nebraska
New Orleans Saints over Cincinnati Bengals
Tennessee Titans over Jacksonville Jaguars

Weekly Liberty Bowl Projection: Central Florida vs Georgia

Assuming Central Florida wins the Conference USA championship on Saturday, a UCF vs Georgia match up would be great. Both teams are evenly matched and it having UGA and their fans in town for the game and New Year's festivities would be great for Memphis.
