What Daily Memphians think*
“Penny gets it. In today’s quad rankings of games, plus a less-than-stellar conference, he gets the out-of-conference schedule done well. The Tigers hoops program is in great hands.” — Mark Mitchell about Tigers coach Penny Hardaway wants ‘marquee’ games on schedule
“This is some great insight into what these guys go through, and seeing those types of frustrations in a young man of 19 is not unusual. … I would imagine he will be hard to keep off the court for many years to come.” — Charlie Keffeler about When GG Jackson needed mental refresh, he got help from an unlikely source
“The Historic Daisy is beautiful inside and would add a great deal to the entertainment district if open regularly for visitors, especially during daylight hours. The street lost a lot of historical context when the Center for Southern Folklore moved. This could renew that aspect.” — Ken Hall about New plans for the Old Daisy
