They're doing that at AutoZone Park. A Memphis sports HOF on the 3rd floor.

Made Memphis a national brand for first time since Dana’s run, spearheaded the viability of the TSF with his Basketball program that generated over $200M revenue under Cal and set many team records including one that most college basketball writers think will never be broken: the 64 game conference winning streak.

That's what the write-in option is for. So far, only 4 write-in votes. I think 2 of those are for Big Jack.

With votes dwindling, Lawler and Keith in a dead tie for the 4th spot.

For Z-bo to be a stone-cold lock, he comes in 8th in this poll. Heard John Martin saying Z-bo has to be on there. Then 5 minutes later, he's debating that Lawler may have too much baggage to be there. What?

If he leads us to a NY bowl and sticks around about 4 more years, then a valid candidate. Not yet though.

I am not even a wrestling fan but I can easily see why Jerry Lawler would be included on the list. He was easily one of, if not the largest, icon of sports from Memphis (nationally) during the 70s. I am willing to bet double if not triple the amount of people across America was more familiar with the name Jerry Lawler than most of the other people listed.
