A memorial is planned for the Tigers’ homecoming game against Southern Miss on Oct. 25. The Tiger Guard asks that any memorials be sent to the Highland Hundred via the Tiger Football office at 136 Athletic Office Building, Memphis, 38152.

Game show host Jack Narz, who was also brother of another game show host, Tom Kennedy, and a former brother-in-law of yet another one, Bill Cullen, has died at the age of 85. His most famous or infamous hosting job was for the game show Dotto, which I remember seeing when I was three years old and which precipitated the quiz show scandals.
This is hideous video quality, but here is Narz when he hosted the game show Concentration back in 1977:

Speaking of the quiz show scandals, I completely missed this New Yorker article from July by Charles Van Doren about the scandals. This was the first time in fifty years he ever talked publicly about them. He is 82 years old.
I also came across this first of a three-part interview with Van Doren's old Twenty-One rival, Herb Stempel, about the same age as Van Doren. This website on YouTube is worth checking out for its many interviews.
