September 23, 2009
In yet another in a series of embarrassing events, Memphis Mayor Lowery recently greeted the Dalai Lama with a ‘fist bump‘. Now I’m not slamming the fist bump.

Tiger High’s football team was recently ranked 96th by College Football News in its annual preseason rankings. This will put a lot of pressure on the Tigers to live up to the hype. Good thing is they are guaranteed to win more games than did the 2007-2008 Memphis Tiger basketball team which was 0-40 for the year. Luckily, beer will be sold at the stadium this year which provide fans with the illusion that they are actually watching Division I football.
Tiger High is a Two Time Cheater
