Friday update

Happy New Year!

Good ole West Virginny came from behind yesterday to beat Army in the Liberty Bowl, 24-21.

Mississippi State beat Tulsa in the Armed Forces Bowl 28-26. Following the game there was a wild brawl between the two teams (fast-forward to about 1:30 in the video below):

2020 had one last surprise for Memphis last night: Grayson Allen left the game with an ankle sprain last night as the Grizzlies lost to Boston 128-107.

The Memphis Tigers’ basketball game at Temple scheduled for tomorrow has been postponed due to COVID cases at Temple.

Local 24 recently talked to South Main Sounds’ Mark Parsell about what 2020 has been like for musicians.

The New York Times has a COVID vaccine calculator that will predict where you are in line to get the vaccine.

I didn’t hear too many gunshots at midnight where I live but I hear that the area around Front and MLK sounded like “a war zone” at midnight.

Looks like I didn’t miss much by not tuning in to the COVID-19 press conference yesterday. @Local24Brad reports that they will look at the COVID numbers in Shelby County two weeks into Health Directive 16 and the Safer at Home order, but don’t expect any big changes. Two weeks would be approximately next Friday, which should be around the time we begin to see a Christmas surge.

That’s it for now. Probably staying home for today, although if any Downtown restaurants post a blackeyed peas special for today I might venture out.
