Penny Hardaway’s Memphis Tigers take on Lane College in their second exhibition game of the season today. It will tip off at FedExForum at 1 PM. The game will be on 98.1 FM but won’t be on TV.
Due to weather, Memphis 901 FC’s Eastern Conference semifinal vs. the Tampa Bay Rowdies was postponed yesterday. The match will be played at AutoZone Park at 3:00 today.
Desmond Bane scored 32 and Dillon Brooks scored 30 but it was not enough to stop the Utah Jazz last night. They beat the Grizzlies 124-123. The Grizzlies’ regular-season record is now 4-2.
How about those L.A. Lakers though! 0-5!

Bardog now has Cinnamon Toast Crunch shots. They’re $7 + liquor and sales tax, so probably $9something.
The girl who invented the bleach shot (blackberry & peach moonshine) tasted my invention, the strawnana shot (white chocolate strawberry & banana pudding moonshine) Friday night and gave it her stamp of approval (would that be a tramp stamp?). Well, actually, I think Michael at Blind Bear invented the shot and I named it. But anyway, we now have outside confirmation that the strawnana is heaven in a shot glass.
Reggae Halloween happens today at 3 at Carolina Watershed.
Attention Nate: There’s a twerking class tonight in Cooper-Young.
Word that needs to come into common usage Downtown: sozzled. I was watching an episode of The Andy Griffith Show and Andy and Barney were searching for an illegal still out in the country. They didn’t find it, but they did find a chicken who had gotten into the moonshine the still produced. “That chicken is sozzled,” Andy commented.
Reminder: Today is Oktoberfest at Wiseacre Downtown.
There’s trick-or-treating tomorrow at Bass Pro at the Pyramid tomorrow 3-6 PM.
That’s it for today. I may possibly take tomorrow off from posting.
