Newby’s, the beloved college hangout near the University of Memphis, is back—and it’s bigger, bolder, and just as nostalgic. New owner Sam Stalnaker, a proud alum, is reviving the classic sports bar with comfort food that’s been perfected: think eighties-style grilled chicken marinated in teriyaki and pineapple, wings drenched in honey gold sauce, and fresh homemade ranch. Beyond the menu, he’s turning Newby’s into a student-friendly study spot by day and a roaring live music & sports hub by night—especially during Memphis football season. With walls packed with Tigers memorabilia, weekly events like Music Bingo and trivia, and a mission to become the official sports bar for UofM athletics, Stalnaker’s goal? To make Newby’s the heartbeat of campus life again—without losing the soul that made it legendary.

College’s “eventually” is running out — and it’s time to stop waiting. After three years of deferring dreams, this writer’s graduation looms in nine months, forcing a reckoning: productivity can’t replace presence. They’ve chased resumes and networking, missing the joy of living — like spontaneous trips, unplanned hangs, and real human connections. Now, they’re choosing zero-value experiences and confronting relationships head-on, ditching “too busy” as an excuse. The takeaway? You can rewrite your college story — right now — by saying yes to life, not just to LinkedIn.

Tigers head coach Charles Huff is keeping the starting quarterback悬念 tight ahead of their season opener against UNLV, with Marcus Stokes and Air Noland battling it out in secret. Stokes, a transfer from West Florida with 30 TDs and over 3K yards last year, faces off against Noland, who’s never started at Ohio State or South Carolina. Huff’s strategy? Avoiding early announcements to keep players focused and prevent locker-room pressure. Both QBs know his preference privately, but he’s still watching closely. UNLV’s Dan Mullen mirrors this secrecy, hinting both his QBs will play unless something changes. With big schools poaching talent, Huff’s cautious approach ensures his team stays prepared — and fans won’t find out who starts until kickoff Saturday night on FOX at 9 PM Central.

Memphis football is roaring back after a brutal 2023 collapse, rebuilding with 71 new players and calling itself the “portal king” of the Group of Five. Coach Huff brings in high-impact transfers like Ian Foster and Mike Montgomery, while standout J’mond Tapp leads the defense with preseason All-Conference honors. New coordinators Kevin Decker (top rushing offense at Old Dominion) and Lance Guidry (Notre Dame upset architect) inject fresh energy. The season kicks off with two brutal road tests against UNLV and Boise State — games that could define their playoff push.

Memphis men’s soccer crushed Belmont 2-0 in their 2026 opener, shutting down the opposition with a flawless defense and a relentless offense that fired 14 shots.

With momentum building ahead of a massive showdown against fifth-ranked Georgetown’s rival North Carolina next Monday at 7 PM on ESPN+, this win proves Memphis is ready to make noise.
