This morning, in an effort to get the Moody Ques’ website current, I added a BBQ Fest 2015 photo gallery<\/a>. If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’ve seen all these photos before. I picked the best 50 of the approximately 600 I took. The 50 I selected say it all about the team: We have an excellent cookteam that puts out some delicious food, our booth designers kick ass, we have a lot of fun in our booth and we’re the best damn party in Tom Lee Park. I also think the fact that we’re a fairly young team, with an average team member age of about 35, is an asset. If you’ve never been on a BBQ team before and are curious what it is like to be on a team, have a look at the photos. If you like what you see and are interested in membership or sponsorship, talk to us.<\/p>\n

Memphis saw its college football playoff hopes dashed yesterday with a 45-20 loss to Navy. If there had to be a team to lose to, I’m glad it was the Midshipmen – can’t hate on those who serve our country, after all. Meanwhile, Bret Bielema’s bold call to go for two in the first overtime vs. Ole Miss paid off, giving Arkansas a 53-52 victory. The Hogs are now one game from bowl eligibility, with Missouri looking beatable and maybe Mississippi State too.<\/p>\n

An Ole Miss fan called 911 during the game<\/a> and asked for Arkansas’ quarterback to be removed from the stadium. Typical Ole Miss.<\/p>\n

Chris Johnson plays the Green Beetle tonight at 8. It’s part of the Beetle Sundays series with food and beer bucket specials all night long.<\/p>\n

There will be a Veterans Day parade Wednesday. It will march down Second Street from Exchange to Monroe starting at 10 AM.<\/p>\n

Straight No Chaser, the male a capella group that is gathering a viral following, plays the Cannon Center for Performing Arts Wednesday at 7:30.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget that Downtown Dining Week<\/a> begins tomorrow. 40 restaurants offering special menus for $20.15 or $10.15. If you haven’t made reservations yet, you need to do it now.<\/p>\n

Leading off at D-RANKS with B-RAD at the Blind Bear today, then later in the day I have a BBQ meeting. If anything interesting happens at the meeting I will have a report tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
