Calkins has been named the best sports columnist in the country five times by the Associated Press sports editors, but still figures his best columns are about the people who make Memphis what it is.
It may not have been the single greatest win in program history, but the Memphis Tigers’s 50-49 victory over UCF Saturday was as emotionally satisfying as any in recent memory. Small wonder Memphians went just a little bit crazy when it was over.
