Yeah it was Memphis... That's a true story about UNLV too, they hate the team up North and the original mascot was actually a wolf in conferdate uniform. Meet Beuragard!!!
This time last year I was in Memphis for the CUSA tourney. I made Beale Street my bitch. The silky o'sullivan's diver got me good, though.
Silky O can end a Memphis night way too early. BB Kings is by far the best bar on Beale though. It gives you a real taste of the delta and what life around here is all about. Live blues, fried food, ribs, $3 friday cover, relatively cheap drink, and the best bourbon selection behind the bar city wide. Not to mention, every now and then, the old man comes out with Lucille on stage.
Rankings are stupid in general, but I have to ask, in what ranking is the University of Mississippi business school ranked in the top 25? It's not Business Week or US News (the two most often quoted) according to their websites. I do know that the accounting department is good.
BB Kings was fantastic. I spent the week hoping around all the bars on Beale.. One of the bars, had karaoke going on between the cheerleaders/dancers for half the teams in CUSA...got dome from a Utep dancer because I look like Jonah Hill.... Seriously. If you're ever back in Silky's, our group finally convinced them to put some UCF swag on their walls after our last trip up. We closed them down each night we were in town. I was so upset when I found out they were moving the tournament to freaking Tulsa.
Come on... you can always cruise Oral Roberts for some bible thumping white underwear wearing chics. Must be something about dancers and basketball tourney's. My buddy bagged a Kansas dancer the night before they crushed us in Omaha 2 years ago. I probably could have scored with her friend but like an idiot I had my wedding band on...lol. I was stuck talking to her all night about how I loved Rex Walters and Jeff Boche while my buddy was going to town.
statjeff, US News and World Report 2k9. I might've misread it, I think it's actually business is top 100, accountancy t25. vinsjets, I've seen a UCF banner at Silky's. That explains why.
I think I am going to throw a curve ball to these hooples. I am going to float Jar-Jar for the new mascot.........
Since I have no vested interest in Ole Miss, I think the whole thing is hilarious and I hope the Star Wars fans succeed.
One black columnist went crazy offensive today..proposed a runaway slave for mascot. http://thedmonline.com/content/admiral-who-search-continues
