New Midtown Sports Bar, Memphis #1 Again

The Midtown area is gaining a new sports bar this weekend. Jack Magoo's will open this Friday (September 16) in the Broad Avenue Arts District. Located at 2583 Broad Avenue, the two level bar will have more than 20 TV's and upscale pub grub. It's good to have another sports bar option in the city.Will definitely check it out this weekend.


For the second straight week, the University of Memphis football team has the number one ranking in ESPN's Bottom 10. The Tigers' best chance for a victory will be this weekend against FCS member Austin Peay. If they lose this one, the entire staff should be wiped out. With or without a win, RC Johnson should retire or be fired. The Calipari fiasco occurred under Johnson's watch (as well as probation in other sports) and the Porter hire is looking like an extremely poor decision. It's time for new blood to take control of the athletic department and get things back on track. You can't get to the next level until the current problems are fixed. Once Johnson is gone, the next person to go should be Dr. Shirley Raines.
