Bad Weather, Cooper-Young, Italian Wine Dinner, Football

Memphis was rocked with severe storms tonight. MLGW is reporting that many Memphians, especially in the Midtown and Downtown areas, are still without power. I hope everyone is safe and sound.

The American Planning Association has named Cooper-Young as one of its Top 10 Great Neighborhoods. Cooper-Young was selected for its "historic architecture, vibrant business and entertainment district, and active and engaged residents who’ve spent decades redeveloping the neighborhood." Congrats to one the better parts of Memphis.

The Grove Grill will be hosting an Italian Wine Dinner on Wednesday, October 17. The menu and pairings are still in the works, but this should be a fantastic experience. Details are coming soon.

The Grove is also bringing back half off wine on Monday's. This great special gets you 50% off any bottle of wine under $50. Bring yourself. Bring a friend or friends. Cheers!

There really isn't any good Memphis related football to discuss right now. Rhodes in a small losing streak and Memphis is Memphis. Arkansas and Ole Miss? Not looking so hot. Mississippi State with an undefeated season so far? Not enough cowbell to legitimately give them more chatter than this. A huge positive? Grizzlies basketball warming up and the Tigers season kicks off in a few weeks. 


Here's the picks for this week.

Last Week: 5-1
Season: 21-9 (70%)

Rhodes over Austin College
LSU over Florida
Georgia over South Carolina
Rice over Memphis
New Orleans Saints over San Diego Chargers
Tennessee Titans over Minnesota Vikings

Weekly Liberty Bowl Projection: Tulsa vs Auburn

As the season begins to unfold, Tulsa appears to be the best team in Conference USA. Auburn is barely hanging on.  No change here...yet.
