Apologies for the brief post yesterday… they were filming a movie at the chess club and along that block of Madison. I had to relocate to a venue that does not have Wi-Fi (but does have $3 mimosas). When I get a chance I’ll find out the name of the movie and who’s starring in it.
Flying Saucer has Donna’s Pickle Beer on draft. Beertender Jordan was kind enough to pour me a sample last night and yep, it tastes like pickle juice. Although, I wonder if habanero is also in the recipe. The beer left a burn in the back of my throat.
Bardog now has lemonade on the soda gun.
Penny’s 12-17 Tigers, fresh off an L to East Carolina, have 2 games left and then this disaster of a season will be over:
- Thursday vs. South Florida, 8 PM, ESPN2
- Sunday at Tulane, 1 PM, ESPN+
No I don’t want Penny to be fired. But I wish we could put him on sabbatical for a year and send him to Vandy to be an assistant. That school has transformed into an athletic powerhouse in the NIL and transfer portal era. Penny could learn a lot there and bring that knowledge back to Memphis in 2027-28.
The forecast has Memphis in the 70s for the next 9 days – except Thursday, when the high will be 80 or 81, depending on which TV meteorologist you follow. Yay for March!
The Majestic Grille is hiring bartenders, expos, food runners, and BOH staff. Great bosses, great benefits.
