The Silly Goose once again has beer. Their permit expired, and for a few weeks they were selling mixed drinks only… but now the beer is back, and tonight is their trivia night at 8 PM.<\/p>\n
Cockadoos<\/a> is expanding their lunch menu. This is what they posted to Facebook today: “COMING SOON!! Turkey burgers, chili, chili cheese dogs, hot dogs, rotel chicken pasta, chili mac, and our very own club sandwich The Cockaclub!!”<\/p>\n Word on Twitter this morning is that the Downtown Blue Monkey is building a patio. That will be a nice addition.<\/p>\n Today’s Groupon is a half-off deal at the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum<\/a>.<\/p>\n The finale of the Orpheum’s summer movie series, Casablanca<\/em>, is scheduled for tomorrow… however, Orpheum president Pat Halloran has decided to extend the series to run throughout the year. Movie tickets are relatively cheap entertainment, he believes, and he hopes that the Orpheum’s movie patrons will become future patrons of the Broadway shows. The Orpheum makes the movies fun with trivia contests, costume contests, organ concerts, and other entertainment prior to start time.<\/p>\n Bruce Pearl and John Calipari have always had a rivalry, but this summer Pearl has really proven himself… he’s proven he’s every bit as big a douche as Coach Cal. Not only did he lie about high school juniors being at his house, but he lied about the reason he came clean – it wasn’t his conscience as he said, but the fact that he knew he’d been caught, and he was trying to do damage control. CBS national columnist Gregg Doyel says that it’s time for Tennessee to fire the Bruchebag.<\/a> I agree. Taking away 25% of his salary is not enough. It’s time for Bruce to find employment at Taco Bell. Or, as my friend Air Traffic Mike said, a Conference USA school.<\/p>\n Also a good column in the CA today… if Tennessee had been sincere about wanting to punish Pearl and his staff, they would have banned them from recruiting immediately<\/a>, rather than beginning the ban on September 24. Pearl was in town yesterday recruiting a top Memphis high school player, desperately trying to salvage next year’s recruiting class.<\/p>\n A very happy birthday to my friend Chad! He plans on celebrating all weekend long, kicking it off tonight at Calhoun’s. I will be there to wish him well, and hopefully to pick up another first-place prize at poker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Silly Goose once again has beer.
