This week from the bench…
I typically hand out report cards every year for the University of Arkansas basketball and football coaches. My report cards for the previous football coach were so bad over a period of five years that they got him fired. Since football and basketball coaches have been fired of late, there has [...]

Bobby Petrino said Thursday during a speech in Bentonville that Spring Practice will be open tho the public. CFN discusses the 2008 SEC Schedule team by team and week by week. Which bring me to the annual announcement [...]
A year ago I started the Hawg Blawg. I didn’t really think that I’d stick it out this long but I’ve really enjoyed writing about the Hawgs. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our loyal readers for their patronage. Just for fun I’ll list our highest ranked posts and my a couple [...]

This Week From The Bench….
I never thought I would see an SEC tournament where a team had to play twice on the same day to catch up because of canceled games. Why not just put the Hogs back on the floor against Georgia Saturday night and make it a triple header? I don’t think the [...]
