| Chilli &Tamales from Huey's |
Two great bands are in town this weekend. Drivin N Cryin is playing at the Hi-Tone tonight and Reckless Kelly is playing at Newby's on Saturday night.
The quest for the best tamales in Memphis made a stop at Huey's. The tamales pretty good, but I couldn't tell if it was the tamale, the loads of chilli they were swimming in or a combination of both. Either way, I recommend them.

With all of the negativity aimed at Conference USA football, it's hard to believe that the Conference USA championship game may be a "play in" for a BCS birth. Say what? With the Big East Champion likely to be ranked behind the Conference USA or Mountain West champion, it opens the door for Houston and Southern Miss from C-USA and TCU from the Mountain West. By rule, they will only have to finish in the Top 16 of the final BCS standings.If Houston wins out, they are definitely in. It will be interesting to see how things will play out if TCU and Southern Miss both win out. Both teams have two weak regular season games remaining, but USM will most likely play Houston in the C-USA championship game. A Golden Eagles win over the Cougars may boost them into the Top 16. Either way, who would have thought that a C-USA team would be in the running for a BCS game.
After a brief hiatus, both Memphis and Mississippi have returned to ESPN's Bottom 10.
Here's the picks for this week.
Last Week: 5-1
Season: 46-20 (70%)
Marshall over Memphis
Arkansas State over Middle Tennessee State
Arkansas over Mississippi State
Vanderbilt over Tennessee-Knoxville
Houston over SMU
Tennessee Titans over Atlanta Falcons
Weekly Liberty Bowl Projection: Southern Miss vs Vanderbilt
Houston should win Conference USA. If the Cougar's finish 13-0, they will be in Sugar Bowl. This opens up the door for bowl officials to invite Southern Miss.Vandy is looking like the best choice from the SEC.
