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.
Tyler Harris has decided to transfer. With the expected arrival of Virginia Tech transfer Landers Nolley, it makes all the sense in the world. But Memphis fans should be forever grateful to Harris for reaffirming the connection between the Tigers and the town.
