SubscribeHopefully most of you are making the most of this Monday night and are watching the college football national championship game. I’ve been looking forward to the possibility of four more quarters of LSU and Alabama since the first time the squared off. It really is a statement by the SEC, that in addition to [...]

R to the Izzo. Yes to the Rizzo’s
When I was in school back in the day, our headmaster would rhetorically ask, “is this a great school, or what?” That will always stand out as a memory, and thankfully, a question that I answered (then and now) with a “yes!” Well, I’d like to steal a page from his playbook and ask, “is [...]
Downtown Memphis is the Home of the Bleu
