College football returns this Saturday, although not a lot of it – CFB “Week 1” extends from Saturday, August 26 to Monday, September 4. So, nine days. There are no really exciting games this Saturday – no ranked vs. ranked and no big regional rivalries. But for Memphians looking to wet their CFB whistle, here are a few games that may interest you:<\/p>\n
From AP: 2023 is the end of an era in college football<\/a><\/p>\n As part of South Main Trolley Night this Friday, Memphis Spine & Sport at 372 S. Main will celebrate its second birthday<\/a>. There will be food, drinks, and giveaways.<\/p>\n Team USA tuned up against world basketball opponent Greece this past weekend, winning handily 108-86<\/a>.\u00a0 Jaren Jackson Jr. started and had 11 points.<\/p>\n Lovie the Therapy Dog<\/a> returns to the Cossitt Library today from 3:30 to 4:15.<\/p>\n There will be yoga at the mansion<\/a> this Friday at 3 at the Woodruff-Fontaine House. After the all-levels class, there will be a self-guided tour of the house. $30. Bring a yoga mat and water.<\/p>\n Local artist Lacey Craig will have an exhibit opening<\/a> at First Presbyterian, 166 Poplar, on Friday from 5:00 to 8:30 PM. There will be light refreshments and live music by Davy Ray Bennett (one of my fellow tour guides!)<\/p>\n Sunday from 2 to 3, there will be a presentation on the destruction of the steamboat Sultana<\/a> at Elmwood Cemetery. This was the worst maritime disaster in American history. Author\/military historian Gene Eric Salecker will be the presenter.<\/p>\n Ben-Yay’s has mimosa towers on the weekends now.<\/p>\n From StyleBlueprint: Meet muralist Sam Reeves-Hill<\/a>, whose work can be seen around Downtown Memphis.<\/p>\n Looks like Downtown’s new weekend safety plan didn’t eliminate pop-up street parties; it just moved them east<\/a>. About 60 to 80 cars gathered at Union and Pauline in the Medical District Saturday night. The smell of burnt rubber was in the air from cars doing donuts.<\/p>\n If you were a Facebook user between May 2007 and December 2022, fill out this form<\/a> to get a piece of the class-action suit settlement involving Cambridge Analytica. The deadline to fill out the form is Friday.<\/p>\n I didn’t go out yesterday. My current money situation dictates that I have to spend some days of my week at home, and Sunday is my least favorite day to go out.<\/p>\n Sunday used to be my MOST favorite day to go out. That was the case from 2003 to about 2019.<\/p>\n Maybe I should do a post about that. How can Downtown spots turn Sunday back into Sunday Fun Day?<\/p>\n Back tomorrow with more news, and maybe that post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" College football returns this Saturday, although not a lot of it – CFB “Week 1” extends from Saturday, August 26 to Monday, September 4.
