  • Go Tigers!
"OUTLOOK: With the loss of several key performers, the Tigers' hopes of a fourth straight bowl appearance appear to be just out of reach. West has worked his magic before and if a few newcomers can step up immediately, Memphis could fight for a .500 finish. However, the Tigers are most likely a year away from getting back to the eight wins it has averaged over the past three seasons."

We beg to differ. We think Coach West and his Tigers will go bowling again. But to read this non-homer report that ran in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, go here.

  • Now Running For Buck ... Stubby!

    You may have heard about the stunt at Tuesday night’s Northern League All-Star game, in which 94-year-old Buck O’Neil made a pair of pinch-hit appearances. You may not, however, have heard who pinch-ran for O’Neil and went on to earn the game’s MVP award. A player merely 61 years O’Neil’s junior, it was none other than former Memphis Redbirds fave Stubby Clapp. Read about the game here.

  • Grizzlies Update

    The Memphis Grizzlies introduced three new players — rookies Rudy Gay, Kyle Lowry, and Alexander Johnson — at a press conference Tuesday morning. Then said goodbye to another young player — second year point guard Anthony Roberson. Waiving Roberson, who struggled playing point guard in the summer league, was a bit of a surprise. There weren’t many surprises at the press conference, but there were a few interesting moments. For a full report, see the Flyer’s Grizzlies blog, Beyond the Arc.
