OUR MEMPHIS TIGERS inserted themselves back into the CFP conversation yesterday with a 34-31 win over the South Florida Bulls. Memphis is back in ESPN’s projections for the playoffs, seeded 12th and playing 5 Georgia in the first round.
All four of Memphis’ remaining games are must-win, of course, but the biggest game is Friday, November 7 vs. Tulane, a school that is also in the CFP conversation.
Next up for Memphis: at Rice, 6 PM Halloween night (ESPN2).
How cool is it to see Vandy in the CFP projections!!!
Friday night is the final South Main Trolley Night of the year. Come mingle and meet your neighbors. Costumes encouraged.
Flyway Brewing will have a Freaky Friday rave Halloween night. Sets by Andy Chance, Dale, Delyrius, FERB, Obiscuithead, and Raxx.
It’s Chicken Fried Steak Day.

My Cash App debit card is no longer having problems. I suspect the canceled pending charges were caused by the AWS outage last week.
That’s it for now.
