Memphis football hot board.

I've got nine names. Some of them are going to look familiar. Some of them aren't.

@JohnBeifuss Sorry for your family’s loss, John. Take care. That was a well-done tribute by Jacob.

@bdriesdm @DailyMemphian have you published anything on what’s happening on that same road west of Kirby? Humphrey eastbound right lanes in Memphis have been closed with pipes atop them for a few months now. that’s having a much larger impact on people than loss of trees.

@ralphDrussoATH UCLA also has Troy Aikman

@Kanew This would almost likely shift electorate to the right, based on turnout data from last decade.

Excellent article by @germanrlopez for the @nytimes about a big, important problem in the US:

Most crimes aren’t solved. If you murder someone, it’s essentially a coin flip whether you’ll be arrested for it. If you steal a car, you’ll almost certainly get away with it.

Increasing the probability that would-be offenders get caught has a huge deterrent effect. (There is lots of strong empirical evidence showing this.) I genuinely believe that doing so is our ticket out of mass incarceration. It’s time to start investing time, energy, and money in finding ways to increase solve rates.

Seems like Memphis needs to copy this …

[Ben Furnas @bfurnas]

"The city also credits a police crackdown on so-called ghost cars with reducing fatalities...The police have seized more than 20,000 ghost cars since 2022 — cars with fake tags or plates that obscured by camera-proof screens, stickers or tape."

@DanWolken @langwhitaker Any idea why there are so many empty seats for this final?

[Zack McMillin @zackmcm]

@jmay11 so @mcmillin_ian just confirmed they see those early 00s composites and do appreciate it. says they are getting close to 100 as he leaves

@Greg_Gaston @dresserwinn Some of us who played ball in Class A back in the day remember when his father, Peanut Winn, played at Dresden with Popeye Jones (who has two sons in the NHL).

@PetePranica @FDSN_Grizzlies @brevinknight22 @memgrizz Ah gotcha. Your crew does great job finding the right angles so we’re fortunate. I just love a panorama view — see the spacing and especially appreciate speed/size of those athletes.

[Zack McMillin @zackmcm]

Always outstanding @FDSN_Grizzlies enhanced even more with this roaming birds eye view. More of this, please. @PetePranica @brevinknight22

We had to adjust planned Spring Break trip because a visitor center was closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

@tsnmike Good trivia question would be to name 3 coaches who won 30+ games at Memphis.

[Zack McMillin @zackmcm]

Always a treat to read @tsnmike — and fun to recall Pastner best year (2012-13 … 31-5!).

[Michael DeCourcy @tsnmike]

I’ve known Josh Pastner since he was a 17-year-old basketball savant.
Few have been more fun to talk with about the game, and Josh has loved doing that on TV.
But he believes he has a lot more wins in him as a coach and would love to get that shot soon. 👇

Well no wonder @LukeKennard5 played like an all-star and went for 30.

[St. Jude @StJude]

St. Jude patients Reynaldo, Tyler, Dionisio, and patient mom Katy got to link up with our friend @LukeKennard5 before tonight’s game!⛹️‍♂️❤️

Thanks so much for making this a memorable experience.

Finally found the dang password to this thing.

Sorry y’all. What’d I miss?
