Texas is the big dog in the Big 12 and before that the big dog in the Southwest Conference – but in the SEC, the ‘horns are going to be just another school that’s lucky to eke out a 7-5 record.<\/p>\n Sugar Grits is expanding their hours. They will now be open 8 AM-10 PM Monday-Saturday and 8 AM-8 PM Sunday. So they’ll be open for dinner 7 days a week and they’re adding some new dinner items. They’ll also have their full breakfast menu all day.<\/p>\n Organizers have decided to cancel the Cooper-York Fest because of the COVID surge we’re going through. Important note:<\/strong> I said the Cooper-York<\/strong> Fest, not<\/strong> Cooper-Young Fest. I don’t want anyone saying, “Paul’s blog said the Cooper-Young Fest was canceled.”<\/p>\n What’s Cooper-York Fest, you ask? It’s an event Memphis Made Brewing Co. runs yearly in its taproom and parking lot, the same day as Cooper-Young Fest. It has live music, food trucks, and of course, great craft beer, yet it has a more intimate feel than the crowded madness that is Cooper-Young Fest. I applaud the Memphis Made folks for wanting to keep their customers and employees safe from the pandemic.<\/p>\n I’m extremely disappointed in my alma mater this morning. An incident of racial hatred on campus<\/a> should have been handled by the administration swiftly and decisively. Do better, Rhodes.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/GrizzliesNightJersey.jpg?resize=500%2C500\")
