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.
After nearly three years of winning at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium, the Tigers lost a football game at home. They have nobody to blame but themselves.
