Live at the Garden, Kooky News, Memphis Sports Fans

Although the official announcement for this year's Live at the Garden series will not be until April 1, the following shows have been confirmed.

June 25 - Steve Miller Band

July 8 - Michael McDonald with Boz Scaggs

There are also rumblings that Huey Lewis and the News will be playing on July 22.


One of the only negatives at Kooky Canuck has been the lack of quality TVs. As of tonight, this is no longer a problem. Kooky Canuck isntalled 5 new 37" flat screens above the bar all HD and all with the Comcast premium sports package. Good job guys! Now if only they would add TVs to the back room.


Grizz crowd on Monday
Where's the Blue?

What's the deal with Memphis sports fans? Not just Grizzlies fans, but Tigers fans too. The Grizzlies are in the playoff hunt and the turnout Monday night was less than half full and it wasn't against a lower tier team. At least there were some Grizzlies fans in attendance. 

Where were the Tigers fans at Autozone Park last night for Memphis' baseball game against Arkansas? The crowd easily favored the Razorbacks 20 to 1 and that might a generous estimate. Yes, Memphis basketball attendance is incredible, but the lack of fan support shown last night and for football are one of the main reasons conferences like the Big East will always over look Memphis when considering expansion. Memphis sports fans on all levels should be embarrassed.
