Tigers Win, Rankings, Interpol, Another Snow Day?

What a game in Hattiesburg tonight. Memphis was down as much 18 points to Southern Miss, but the Tigers fought back and earned a "W" with a last second three-pointer by Charles Carmouche. I told you guys earlier this season that "Mouche" would be a key player down the stretch. Did anyone else notice Pastner going nuts on the sidelines all game? It looked like he wanted to beat someone up.

So Memphis made the Top 20 in a not-so-friendly list. The Bluff City is ranked #13 in the America's Rudest Cities list compiled by Travel and Leisure and AFC. Here's the description from the site: "Even if the locals here don’t win raves for being friendly, they do better on this front than on other personal qualities. AFC readers rank these Tennesseans dead last for being attractive, athletic, and smart. Good thing that barbecue (No. 1) and music (No. 8) are such tourist magnets." Wow!

Tickets go on sale this Friday for Interpol's April 25th show at Minglewood Hall. I continue to be impressed with the concerts that Minglewood is lining up.

There's a good chance that Memphis will see sleet, snow and ice tomorrow afternoon and into the evening hours. Could Memphis be in for another snow day on Friday? Short work/school weeks can be really fun.
