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.
The Evansville transfer became eligible to play just hours before Memphis and Tulane tipped off Wednesday. For a beleaguered Tigers team, it may have been just in time.
