Apparently today is Chick-fil-A Day nation-wide. Traffic was a little more hectic than usual near the restaurants on Poplar and Union. The only time I've noticed that Union location being busier was on its grand opening day.

Memphis basketball coach Josh Pastner isn't too happy with the Tigers' new conference. It looks like the Big East has committed at least two men's basketball out of conference games beginning in 2013. As part of the agreement, Memphis will have to play Big East football only members Boise State and San Diego State. This combined with planned and rumored Big East departures may start to prove "the grass in not greener on the other side" argument. Out of conference focus should be put on keeping the Tennessee-Knoxville series going and establishing/reviving series with regional rivals like Arkansas, Mississippi and Vanderbilt.
