3rd Thursday, Downtown Parks, Football

Tonight's 3rd Thursday at Main and Peabody will feature live music Deborah Swiney, Blind Mississippi Morris and Sufflegrit. In addition to the free music, there will be drink and food specials and retail discounts at participating businesses. The weather should be perfect for this event in addition to all outdoor activities in the Memphis area this weekend.

If you are Downtown tomorrow, try and check out the 16 mini-parks that will be set up on Peabody Place between Front and Second from 11am to 6pm.


Not much to say about FBS football in Memphis this weekend. It will be nice to have fans show up and support the Tigers, but everyone knows the focus will be on the Volunteers and Gators this weekend. Heck, going to the Rhodes game against Trinity might be more entertaining.

Here's the picks for this week.

Last Week: 3-3
Season: 8-4 (67%) 

Memphis over Austin Peay
Trinity over Rhodes
Florida over Tennessee-Knoxville
Oklahoma over Florida State
Baltimore Ravens over Tennessee Titans
New Orleans Saints over Chicago Bears


Weekly Liberty Bowl Projection: Houston vs Tennessee-Knoxville

With Case Keenum leading the offense for Houston, the Cougars will be tough to beat in Conference USA. Having a built in fan base in the Memphis area, the Vols appear to be a no-brainer.
