With last night's win over Sacramento, the Grizzlies clinched a spot in the playoffs. The next few games are important for seeding purposes. At this point, it might be better to be the #8 seed and face the struggling San Antonio Spurs. If the Grizz move up to #7, then Memphis would face the hot Lakers. Let's pull for #8.
Today's weather is perfect for the Overton Square Crawfish festival (noon til 6). There should be plenty of people out there for the fest. If you are looking for a smaller crawfish event, the High Point Pub is having a crawfish boil from 5 til 1am.
If crawfish isn't your speed, then baseball might be a good option. The Redbirds are in town and the University of Memphis is hosting #14 Southern Miss all weekend. The Tigers won in dramatic fashion last night, so the next couple of days could generate some fierce play.
Finally! Midtown has a sports bar. Cooper Young's Sweet Grass has opened Next Door (literally next door to Sweet Grass), a higher end sports pub. They have a great drink selection, lots of tvs with all of the sports packages and a nice menu. Highly recommend is the burger, which comes with deep fried pimento cheese. Add a fried egg to that and you are set. Other recommendations are the chicken and waffles and the french fries fried in duck fat.
King of Leon tonight. Anyone else going?
