But #10 could be the beginning of a trend. Geno better watch out. (Someone else will have to do the rest of the lyrics.)

Put on my blue suede shoes and
I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Then I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

I saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through

Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn.......

Headed to Memphis to see my first LIVE UCONN women's game. Excited. We will eat our pre-game meal at Paulette's!

Well if you can.... you should eat your post game meal at Central BBQ

Do people really plan meals around these games?

 

[Icebear]

Well if you can.... you should eat your post game meal at Central BBQ

Or Rendezvous or Corkies. Maybe BB Kings.

 

[mcannon1]

Those are all good. Thanks for the suggestions. I have eaten at all except Central BBQ. And no - lol - not planning the pre-game meal around the game. The meal is definitely second fiddle to getting to watch the women live!!

By the way, for those that missed it, Geno's Legacy with Tina Charles which first aired on New Year's Day will be shown 2-2:30 PM before the pre-game show.

Great stats. But you are leaving out my favorite individual stat..... number of blocked shots by MoJeff. She had a great one against UCF where she chased the guard down after a steal and blocked her lay up.... with authority I might add. She is tied for sixth in blocked shots on the team with 2. Go MoJeff!!

71 TO GO​
