Nashville Power Rankings: Week 11

Share This Post

Nashville – we’re back for Week 11 of the SoBros Network’s Nashville Power Rankings. As journalists, we have the story of a city to tell, and we’re hammering it out one week at a time.

Damn, what a packed week – we had the solar eclipse -AND- the Wilson County Fair. Both of which we actually did a terrible job of covering. But, oh well – not like we’re professional journalists or anything.

If you have a submission for this column, feel free to DM us on Facebook or Twitter, or shoot us an e-mail at thesobrosnetwork@gmail.com because we’re still too cheap to pay for e-mail hosting.

The Week in Review

Story of the Week: I could explain why the total eclipse was the story of the week in Nashville, or I could let you watch this video of the giraffes at the Nashville Zoo. They probably sum up the mood of the city better than I could.

Shoutout: I’m giving this week’s shout out to our boy Michael. He may be the only person that has ever actually traveled to Nashville, and thought, “maybe I’ll run into that SoBros crew.”

Sorry, we couldn’t sync up, bud – all of us were scattered about the mid-state on Saturday. Hope you’re doing well!

SoBros Story of the Week: It’s hard to pick this week with so much going on, so I’m going to go with three. Rooster’s History Lesson on the solar eclipse, this weird chicken Cadbury saw at the Wilson County Fair, and Ralph’s detailed account of why he will no longer be watching WSMV.

Step Your Game Up

WSMV (again) – Still no Paul Heggen on our morning. They fired Snowbird. FUCKING SNOWBIRD! Are you kidding me? I’d try and think of some inappropriate quip about their programming, but honestly…haven’t been watching. I won’t until Heggenmania runs wild over WSMV mornings again, either.

The Old Taylor – Just an all around bad week for ‘the old Taylor,’ as the ‘new Taylor’ evidently killed her. I don’t know. I can hardly keep up with all of this shit.

Hurricane Harvey – Damn it. You know gas prices are going to skyrocket because of this asshole.

On to the rankings

5. Bob Corker – How about the bag on Bob Corker!?!

Hot damn! Off the top rope!

4. The solar eclipse – Well, after months of anticipation, the total eclipse has come and gone. Nashvillians were fortunate enough to be smack dab in the path of totality, and it was phenomenal. For a good hour, the world like it had a built-in Instagram filter in it. When it went dark, and the crickets were chirping at ~1:30PM, it was flat out surreal.

3. Night Train Pizza New restaurants are popping up all over Nashville a dime a dozen. So, when your boys (and their subsequent better halves) were looking for a new pizza place to try last Sunday, we somehow ended up at this gem of a find. Let me tell you – it was phenomenal. Your’s truly tried The Transcontinental, with red pepper, zucchini, and squash on it. Normally, I’m not a big fan of eating what my food eats, but this was amazing. Nature Boy had something with sausage on it and it was all around amazing. I can’t imagine this place will stay a secret for long, so check it out. It’s your local Nashville establishment of the week.

2. The Wilson County Fair Ah, fair season. The biggest shindig East of Nashville all year. To me, it came to be known as ‘Summer’s Last Hoorah.’ You marketing folks in Lebanon can use that as a tagline next year if you want to. I don’t think I’ll get around to doing a writeup of it. All we did was eat, anyway – steak on a stick, fried green tomatoes, Polish sausage, peach cobbler, and a funnel cake. I still feel hung over. Anyway, time is running out – tomorrow’s the last day to get out and enjoy the action, so do it.

1. Snowbird – So, we didn’t run the Nashville Power Rankings the week news broke that the man who has played Snowbird for what feels like forever was released from WSMV. It’s obviously a travesty, and I think we, as a blog, have made our feelings towards WSMV well known. Still, we have to give the top spot this week to a true Nashville icon. Tip of the cap, sir.

’til next week, you stay classy, Nashville!
