ESPN Bottom 10, Gould's On TMZ, Fire Safety

For the first time in this short college football season, the Memphis Tigers are not in ESPN's Bottom 10. After beating Austin Peay last week, the Tigers aren't completely out of the woods with a spot on the waiting list. Another Mid-South program did make it on the list this week. Mississippi came in at #5 after the Rebels (or Black Bears) embarrassing loss to Vanderbilt last week. If Tigers fans are calling for Larry Porter's firing, how is there not as much heat on one the of most overrated coaches in college football history, Houston Nutt.

Gould's Salon is getting some national pub on TMZ. It looks like a "D list" celebrity skipped out on a bill  last week while at a Gould's location, guessing at the Peabody Hotel.

Not to get preachy about safety, but after reading about a fire fatality in Memphis yesterday, it doesn't hurt to talk about the importance of smoke detectors. If you have them - awesome. If you don't, buy one or two. If you can't afford them, you can get a free smoke detector from the Memphis Fire Department. The MFD will even install free batteries if your battery has lost its charge. All Memphis homeowners are eligible. Call 320-5338 for more information.
