More good news for the Memphis Tigers. They have improved a spot to #21 in the AP poll, and six spots to #19 in the coaches’ poll. Sad thing is, though, if the Tigers run the table on their remaining games, win the conference tournament, and enter the NCAA tournament with a record of 31-3, they’ll still be lucky to get much better than a #7 seed.
Yesterday one of my South Main friends traveled to the core for a beer at the Silly Goose. After he finished that beer, he met up with a few other friends who like to go “value-drinking” at the Downtown Hooters. I was rather surprised at what he tweeted:
“Ya know…I am having a good time at Hooters Downtown! A good gathering of downtowners and a really nice staff! Opinions can change.”
So maybe that Hooters location isn’t as bad as I made it out to be in Sunday’s post. Granted, it has been a few years since I went in there. Maybe the place really has improved. I should go in there one day and give it a try, although I can’t see myself becoming a regular there.
I found a good Lifehacker article that is worth sharing: Nine practices to help you say no without feeling like a jerk. If you have trouble saying no when people come to you with requests, this is worth a read.
Slow news day. The only other thing I can find is that somebody called “DJ Woo Woo” will perform at Club 152 at midnight. If you’re out late, keep Woo Woo in mind as an entertainment option.
Plans for tonight: Stop by and see a friend’s new apartment, Pint Nite at the Saucer (most drafts $3), poker at the Silly Goose (free to play, $50 and $25 prizes, starts 8:30, can show up late for the first hour).
