Bright & Early: Winning! Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was a good weekend in the local football realm, as Vanderbilt continued their winning streak with a 30-7 victory over Mississippi, and the Titans landed a 26-13 win over the Ravens despite mediocre-at-best performance from one certain highly-paid running back who missed all of this year’s training camp and preseason. Cough, [...]
Bright & Early: Out Of Line Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We can’t believe we’ve just been sitting and suffering through the deafening drone of the cicadas for the past few weeks when we could have been phoning in a noise complaint, which is exactly what one Cookeville man did last week. He thought the noise was coming from loud machinery, and sheriff’s [...]
Bright & Early: You’re Doing It Wrong Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Things got a little rowdy at the Vanderbilt-UT game last night when Vanderbilt mascot Mister C totally decked a Commodores fan in the face. A Commodores fan! The guy left the arena with a bloody nose and presumably a bruised ego, having been betrayed by one of his own. And in that [...]
Bright & Early: A Day Late And A Dollar Short Edition
Good morning, Nashville, and happy Friday. The flooded Tennessee Tower is causing some serious problems for thousands of folks waiting for unemployment checks. A sprinkler system inside the building burst earlier this week, flooding an electrical vault and causing a pretty big power outage. Tennessee Department of Labor officials say that about 40,000 checks are [...]
Bright & Early: Bros Icing Bros Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Kids in Metro Schools got yet another snow day today as officials closed the place down for the second day straight while several neighboring school systems opened a few hours late. But the real story is the nasty-looking ice storm in tomorrow’s forecast, which could coat the region with more than a [...]
Happy Hour: Face Off
The ‘Dores will go head to head with the Northwestern Wild Cats, this time with Coach Robbie Caldwell at the helm. Good thing someone paid to have his face painted on the side of that building just in time, huh? Thanks, John Rich! [WTVF] The Feds have officially ruled out the possibility that the Murfreesboro [...]
Bright & Early: It’s A Cluster Edition
Good morning, Nashville. If ever there were a perfect storm of traffic congestion downtown Nashville, tonight would be the night. Road closures for the Titans’ final preseason game will start at 4:30pm, followed by the wave of folks pouring into the Bridgestone Arena for Brooks & Dunn’s last-ever show (well, until the inevitable reunion tour). [...]
Bright & Early: Monkeying Around Edition
Good morning, Nashville. The USDA is finally charging Vanderbilt University “a hefty fine” for the dead baby monkey that turned up in a washing machine. Apparently the monkey was a research subject in a university lab when someone washed the nesting boxes and forgot to take the monkey out first. Of course! The fine includes charges for [...]
Happy Hour: No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem
If you’ve always wanted to dress yourself like Kenny Chesney, now is your chance. [Nashville Post] More than 100 folks in and around Kingston have taken advantage of the free health screenings paid for by the TVA. The screenings are intended to check for any health problems associated with all of that toxic ash that [...]
Bright & Early: Cut Us Some Slack Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We hope that you enjoyed your long weekend as much as we did. From the looks of things, you were all at the movies, at Montgomery Bell State Park, at Percy Priest Lake, slacklining at Centennial Park at or at Loveless Cafe creating that 2-hour wait that we’re still bitter about. Looks [...]
