Second Clue For Neu Spot Downtown, Alchemy, C-USA Coaching Change, Conference Re-alignment

The second clue for Downtown's newest restaurant was revealed yesterday. "Cleu #2" is "We like to keep company with superstars." This again led me to believe that the new Westin restaurant was probably the right guess. Then later, I was proven right. The restaurant to replace Sole is being announced Thursday. With all the neu, cleu and bleu talk, who knows what the name will be. Let's just hope it's a good spot.

After talking to one of the owner's of McEwan's on Monroe, it sounds like Alchemy is shooting to open in early November. Located in Cooper-Young, Alchemy will feature 30 plus small plates.

Today, Tulane had the guts to fire their head coach after another embarrassing loss. If the Memphis Tigers lose to Tulane this weekend, then Larry Porter needs to be canned before the bus ride home. Tulane is rumored to be going after LSU's top recruiter Frank Wilson. Hey Green Wave fans and administration, look at the Larry Porter experiment. It doesn't work.

RC Johnson should be on the chopping block shortly after, but it's looking like Memphis will need someone to guide the Tigers through conference re-alignment. The announced football alliance between the Mountain West and Conference USA seems like the best possible position for Memphis. The Big East is reportedly adding six teams and Memphis is not one of them. Once the latest round of moves is complete, then Johnson should pack his bags and move on.
