Will he bring a Lee statue to Memphis with him?

100% correct. And they wonder why people stay at home and watch on tv these days.

or a lot will leave early ... Kids have school the next day ...

Is that what they called it back then?

I would think the kids will get over missing a Tigers game against La Monroe.

That's what I'm thinking, especially if we are up by 50 at halftime

I was planning on bringing my 4-year-old, but she has school the next day and I have to work. That's going to be incredibly tough. Had it been at 7 p.m., we could have at least made it until half time or possibly into the 3rd quarter.

Disappointing.

Hey, I'll prolly drive down after lunch and drive back to Franklin afterwards. I love the drive on I-40 after midnight. Reminds me of how interstate travel used to be when I was a kid growing up in the 60's.

you a good fan

in my life...I've greatly enjoyed TWO "voices" of the Tigers. Jack Eaton, and Paul Hartledge (RIPx2)
Mr. 55 yard line would be in my bottom 20.

Do you remember George Plaster?

#westcoasttime is why I hate the Grizzlies being in the Western Conference. Geographically, Memphis is much farther East than West. Whoever decided the conferences could have benefitted from a freakin' map!!

That's my drive and I love it also after midnight. Good time to get some thinking done.

I'm pretty sure I've known this game was set for an 8p start for months now?

The fifteen westernmost NBA teams are in the Western Conference.
The fifteen easternmost NBA teams are in the Eastern Conference.

It's almost as if the eastern portion of the US contains more people than the western portion. It's why the radio/TV split is the Mississippi River. East signals begin with the call letter W, west signals begin with K. Memphis is just a mile from being a K city.
