Geoff Calkins has been chronicling Memphis and Memphis sports for more than two decades. He is host of "The Geoff Calkins Show" from 9-11 a.m. M-F on 92.9 FM. 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.

Jackson Hughey — who died Sunday after a six-year battle with cancer — was as devoted a Memphis Tigers fan as there ever was. Along the way, he reminded us not to take our games for granted.
