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.<\/p>\n
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:<\/p>\n
“Ya know…I am having a good time at Hooters Downtown! A good gathering of downtowners and a really nice staff! Opinions can change.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
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.<\/p>\n
I found a good Lifehacker article that is worth sharing: Nine practices to help you say no without feeling like a jerk<\/a>. If you have trouble saying no when people come to you with requests, this is worth a read.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
