It looks like the Tigers are peaking at the right time. With wins over Southern Miss and UAB, Memphis now has the lead in Conference USA down the home stretch. Memphis also has what some would say is the easiest road before the C-USA Championship in El Paso. The Tigers remaining games are at Rice, Houston, at UTEP, at East Carolina and home against Tulane. Barring any mess ups, Memphis should be the the #1 seed in the C-USA Tournament.
The Grizzlies received horrible news yesterday about Rudy Gay's shoulder. He will be out for at least four weeks with the injury. If there is any bright side, week one is now, so hopefully he will be back three weeks after the all-star break. Time of the other players to step it up and stay in the playoff hunt. In other Grizzlies news, the front office is shopping O.J. Mayo.
Have you heard about controversy at Toomer's Corner in Auburn? Talk about insane fans. Is it possible that Alabama fans have eclipsed Florida and LSU fans as the worst in the SEC? I would have to say yes.
Huey's Midtown is the latest addition to the growing number of Mid-South restaurants achieving Project Green Fork certification. I didn't realize that so may restaurants were already PGF certified.
Don't forget the opening day for the Memphis Tigers baseball team is tomorrow. The Tigers will host Evansville at FedExPark.
