5 things to watch in tonight's game against the Jazz (yeah, again!) I want to win this time!

Vote on Tuesday! November 4th is the day.

As of this posting, only 15 days, 4 hours, 30 minutes, and 17 seconds to opening night!

Reminiscing

I was just thinking about ancient times, when we watched basketball in pyramids. The FedEx Forum is nice, of course, but don't you miss the Pyramid? It's so cool to have a building that doesn't match anything else in town.

Covering Cohn

This doesn't have anything to do with the Grizzlies, but it's sort of Memphis-y so it's close enough. My friend and I were talking the other day about concerts and theater tickets we've bought in the past, and it turned out we'd both seen Marc Cohn perform "Walking in Memphis" live.

We both love the song, but I hadn't realized how many other people do, too. Just check out all these artists on YouTube who have covered it. I know there are lots more, but here's a sampling:

Gavin DeGraw
Cher
Lonestar
this America's Got Talent dude

And of course the original, Marc Cohn

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

My caption for this week?

"2 points, nothin' but floor!"

Memphis Grizzlies sign Jacobsen

Looks like free agent guard/forward Casey Jacobsen is coming to the Memphis Grizzlies after a stint playing in Germany, of all places. Hope he remembers the NBA way after being so far off for so long!

Gay named to All-Rookie First Team

The NBA announced that Grizzlies guard Rudy Gay has been selected as a member of the NBA All-Rookie First Team. That's about as good as you can do without getting Rookie of the Year...congrats Rudy!
