As Black History Month winds down, here is a look at how Memphis has been honoring its first Black athletes.
Glenn Rogers Sr. shared insight on what it was like being the 1st Black FB player.
"I never had a good time playing football. I caught hell."
The Doak Walker Award is giving to the best running back in college football. Chuba Hubbard ran for 1,936 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns. I'm not sure what else he needed to do to win that honor.

Today is my first day at the

. I won't be totally based in Memphis until after this weekend but I'm happy to be officially joining the

beat. Food recommendations are always welcomed.
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."
Can't wait to walk this new journey together.

for capturing one of the happiest moments of my life.
AD Laird Veatch tells me that Memphis will get a total of $1 million from Missouri for relocating the game.
A fee of $750,000 on top of the $250,000 fee which is made up in $500,000 guaranteed plus $250,000 in lower level tickets that Memphis gets to keep revenue of.
Chuba Hubbard is joined by a few of his

teammates in his initiative to package and hand out backpacks to the Homeless with the Tulsa Day Center.
“He told me if I listen to him and do all of the things that’s required of me at this program, then I’m going to be a pro. Now look at me, a 14-year-veteran all coming from coach Sutton." --Former

Memphis QB Seth Henigan after the game.
"Our offense wanted to go out there and prove ourselves. I definitely took it personal seeing that we were 10.5 (under) dog in this game."
It's been three years for me at the Daily Memphian as of today. Time flies when you're having fun. Looking forward to my fourth season covering Memphis football.
JUCO Tigers commit and Memphis native Chris Morris is moments away from making his signing official.
He made sure to bring a little flash to the signing ceremony.
Ben Chase is on a quest to attend 70 college FB games this season.
The Memphis game was No. 46. He's taking 100 kids to USF on Saturday.
He even spent the night at Central Michigan coach Jim McElwain's house.
I caught up with Ben at the game.
Can't believe it's already been a year since my first day at
@tulsaworld
. I've grown so much as a writer in my first year and still have a lot of growing to do.

basketball strengths & conditioning coach Jake Manzelmann said freshman Chris Harris joined the Cowboys at about 225 pounds. He weighed in today at 204.
It's odd to see the committee not reward
#okstate
for the way it ended the regular season with at least a No. 3 seed. A 4 seed isn't horrible but OSU and WVU should have switched.
Getting married this weekend so I'll be missing the season opener but I'll be back at it for the Memphis-Navy game.
@johnvarlas
will have all the coverage you need when the Tigers kick off against Mississippi State.
The officials told Memphis that it had to use a kicking tee with its late-game onside kick against Missouri. The SEC informed coach Ryan Silverfield the following morning that the referees were wrong.
After practice today, QB Seth Henigan said that he feels this might be the most talented team he's been on since being at Memphis.
That's a good sign for Tiger fans.
What
#okstate
is doing at No. 6 West Virginia without Cade Cunningham and Isaac Likekele is impressive. But the Cowboys have got to stop turning the ball over.
Tigers close to finalizing contract extension with FB coach Ryan Silverfield
AD Laird Veatch says “We are getting really close. We essentially have agreed to all the terms."
Memphis football student-athletes and staff have raised over $2,500 for Youth Villages Holiday Heroes.
Coach Ryan Silverfield matched what they raised to push the total to over $5,000.
Memphis linebacker Elijah Herring was sidelined with an injury against Florida State last week.
He's dressed on the field right now as the Tigers warmup against Navy. That's a good sign for the Tigers.
Hey
@MemphisFB
fans. With Isaac Bruce being honored this weekend against Mississippi State, I'm looking for any fans who remember watching him play in the 45-35 win over the Bulldogs in 1994. Feel free to tweet, dm or email me.
Memphis linebacker Cole Mashburn has been dealing with a crack in his spine his entire college career.
Mashburn has decided to hang up the cleats after talks with his spinal doctor, family and coaches.
Memphis-transfer Moussa Cisse (
@moussacisse224
), one of the top big men to enter the portal this cycle, has committed to play at Oklahoma State, he told ESPN.
Calvin Austin III and Dylan Parham have made a lot of noise in their Senior Bowl workouts.
I spoke with Austin's father and it sounds like the Browns, Lions and Colts have legitimate interest in Austin.
Covering Cade Cunningham over the past year has been one heck of a ride. Glad I got to cover his draft night for my final story as a
@tulsaworld
reporter. It's been fun. via

Mississippi State lost to Ole Miss. Florida just lost to FSU, and South Carolina is losing in the 4th Q against Clemson.
Looks like Memphis in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl could be a real possibility.
Dillon Stoner’s family had no idea he would take football this far when he first started playing in the third grade. But now he's days away from potentially receiving a phone call from an NFL team. via
