There was so much pork in that little cup that I thought for a minute I was at BBQ Fest. Is there an ancillary competition for soup?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;ll probably roll off the special board soon, so if you want to try it, I recommend going by Bardog today. If this were a permanent menu item, I&#8217;d email Jennifer Biggs of the Daily Memphian and recommend it for an &#8220;under $10 deal&#8221; food column.<\/p>\n<p>WTF&#8230; Rice, traditionally the worst program in D-1 college football, made it to a bowl this year? They&#8217;re usually so bad that even Vanderbilt could beat them. They play Southern Miss in the LendingTree Bowl on December 17.<\/p>\n<p>The projection held up and it&#8217;s Arkansas vs. Kansas in the Liberty Bowl at 5:30 on Wednesday, December 28. As I said yesterday, no fan base travels better than the Hogs. And Kansas is a huge party school, from what I&#8217;ve heard. That week is going to be a blast.<\/p>\n<p>As for Memphis, they&#8217;re headed to the First Responder Bowl in Dallas on December 27. Their opponents will be the Aggies of Utah State.<\/p>\n<p>Today is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.checkiday.com\/3fe6e37828bcb3146b186da58288e52d\/bathtub-party-day\">Bathtub Party Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to stay out late while Santa visits your house on Christmas Eve night, the Blind Bear has plans for you. It&#8217;ll be DJ Tree&#8217;s birthday party with Mylon, dudecalledrob, Saint, and Taz. 10 PM to 2 AM.<\/p>\n<p>There was an unwanted musical performance at Blind Bear this past Saturday. Nate sang an entire One Direction song at the bar. &#8220;That was as loud as it was terrible,&#8221; I told Nate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now I&#8217;m sad Nate,&#8221; he replied. &#8220;You won&#8217;t like sad Nate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I sure would like quiet Nate,&#8221; I responded.<\/p>\n<p>The Grizzlies defeated Detroit on the road yesterday, 122-112. Next up: at home vs. Miami tonight, 7:00.<\/p>\n<p>The Colorado Buffaloes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.localmemphis.com\/article\/sports\/ncaa\/ncaaf\/colorado-buffs-football-coach\/73-d297b9aa-c273-4c03-a2cf-06da0cd1388a\">poached Coach Prime<\/a> from Jackson State.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/social-media-donald-trump-8e6e2f0a092135428c82c0cfa6598444?utm_source=homepage&amp;utm_medium=TopNews&amp;utm_campaign=position_04\">The Trumpster wants to end parts of the Constitution.<\/a> This is some Josef Stalin-level shit, y&#8217;all.<\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed brunch at Bardog yesterday. I haven&#8217;t done an extended stay there on a Sunday in a while. It&#8217;s the one place left Downtown where the Sunday brunch crowd still feels like family. Every other place since the pandemic, the crowd has become so random. Too much of a restaurant crowd and not enough of a bar crowd.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a foggy Monday. I just looked out of my living room window and I can&#8217;t see the I-55, Big River Crossing, and Frisco bridges.<\/p>\n<p>I guess that&#8217;ll do it. Back tomorrow if I can scrounge up any news to report.<\/p>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/storage.ko-fi.com\/cdn\/widget\/Widget_2.js'><\/script><script type='text\/javascript'>kofiwidget2.init('Tip Jar', '#29abe0', 'B0B57GDFG');kofiwidget2.draw();<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m going to start off this post with something I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever done before: a soup recommendation!
