Memphis bound

[FN Phat]

I was pleasantly suprised with tickets to the Syracuse - Oklahoma game, followed by the North Carolina - Gonzaga game.

Not only do I get the chance to watch my fav team play in the tourny (a childhood dream of mine), I get to see the best player in the nation (Blake Griffin) and arguably the best collegiate player of all time (Tyler Hansborough).

Friday cannot get here soon enough.

Go Orange!!

Welcome to Memphis!

With a valid TR, I'd offer you a couch for the night, but I'm doing a merit badge campout this weekend. Can you teach Citizenship in the Nation?

Make sure you do a BBQ tour - Rendezvous, Corky's, The Commissary, Interstate, et al. Go see the Civil Rights Museum. Got to at least drive by Graceland. See the ducks at The Peabody. Enjoy Beale Street. Mud Island can be interesting.

There, never say I didn't help you out.

Cit in the Nation on a campout??? That sounds like an awesome campout.

Thanks for the advice. Everyone tells me that I cannot miss the Beale St. experience. I am mostly looking forward to the BBQ. How can you visit Memphis and not eat BBQ?

lol. that is what I though, too.

"Guys, can you please stop throwing rocks, canoeing, and starting fires? We need to discuss the Preamble to the Constitution and learn about the 3 branches of government!"

Thanks Adam.

Thanks Adam.

I do not want to be associated with any post or poster on any of the BYU related fan boards who went by, currently goes by, or will go by in the future by the moniker "Adam" or is connected in any way to such poster. If you persist in trying to tie me to such a poster or posts, I will leave this site and only come back to lurk on occasion in hopes of seeing posts that lament my absence.

Make my day.

Anyone got any recommendations for Memphis? I'm looking for food and things-to-do with three small kids. We should get there about 5PM tomorrow.

• Head right to the Peabody Hotel to see the ducks leave the little pool in the lobby for their 5:00 pm march to the elevator up to the roof for the night. If you miss the 5:00 pm nightly march, come back the next day to see the ducks return to the lobby pool at 11:00 am.
• Graceland is an obvious choice, even you don't spend the bucks for the tour. Just drive down, park, and walk over and peer through the fence.
• Beale Street at night; you might want to leave the kiddies back in the hotel.
• Civil Rights Museum is a must. Don't miss it.
• Sun Studios is another must, especially if you are a music history buff.
• Eat dinner at the Rendevous downtown. The waiters are notoriously rude.
• Eat lunch at Gus' Fried Chicken just south of downtown.
• Head out to Mud Island for an interesting intro to Mississippi River life. Also you can ride that tram that Tom Cruise did in The Firm.

Enjoy!

Loved B.B. King's cafe on Beale Street. Good food and not bad blues music on stage either.

When my dad and I went for the Elite 8 we were headed for Rendevous (based on your recommendation) and made a quick u-turn based on the line of people coming out of the alley. We went to a small shop named Pig on Beale. It was pretty damn good, good atmosphere and easy in and out.

Good food and a great vibe. We got sucked in to eating there when homeboy started playing the sax at the store front.
