You can score some Terrace-level seats to a game in the first two weeks of December for up to 35% off. They&#8217;re also selling some Holiday Packs of tickets that are not subject to the 24-hour time limit.<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers have a Cyber Monday special as well on <a href=\"https:\/\/gotigersgo.com\/splash.aspx?id=splash_27\">gotigersgo.com<\/a> today: Tickets to home games vs. Ole Miss (Dec. 3) and Texas A&amp;M (Dec. 17) (meaning, you get tickets to BOTH games) for $15. Pretty screamin&#8217; deal.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who are bummed out that it&#8217;s cold and dark outside, look at the bright side&#8230; 3 months from now, it&#8217;ll be crawfish season.<\/p>\n<p>Blind Bear has another new flavor of Ole Smoky moonshine:<a href=\"https:\/\/olesmoky.com\/collections\/moonshine\/products\/strawberry\"> strawberry<\/a>. This is different from the white chocolate strawberry cream moonshine I blogged about earlier. It&#8217;s 65 proof. Don&#8217;t forget, today is Moonshine Monday at the Bear with $5 shots.<\/p>\n<p>In other Bear news, Robert the GM told me he&#8217;s going in at 6 this morning to hard-wire the bar smart TVs to an Ethernet connection. I&#8217;ve been referring to the TV on the left as &#8220;Buffery&#8221; but it sounds like I&#8217;ll be calling it &#8220;Speedy Gonzales&#8221; starting today. That&#8217;ll be good news for folks who come there to watch MNF.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, who&#8217;s playing in tonight&#8217;s MN MF&#8217;N F game? &#8230;Pittsburgh and Indianapolis. Meh.<\/p>\n<p>The Memphis Tigers secured <a href=\"https:\/\/dailymemphian.com\/section\/sportsmemphis-tigers-basketball\/article\/32526\/memphis-beats-stanford-to-grab-fifth-place-in-espn-tournament\">5th place<\/a> in the ESPN Events Invitational with a win over Stanford yesterday. Next up: at home vs. North Alabama Wednesday at 7.<\/p>\n<p>Today is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.checkiday.com\/\">National French Toast Day<\/a>. The Arcade at S. Main and G.E. Patterson would be my pick to celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>The Grizzlies downed the New York Knicks on the road yesterday, 127-122. The team gets a couple of days off before heading to Minnesota on Wednesday. The Grizz now sit in third place in the West, 1.5 games out of first, with a 12-8 record.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecannoncenter.com\/events\/cannon-center\/klove-christmas-tour\">The KLOVE Christmas Tour<\/a> comes to the Cannon Center Wednesday night.
