This Week From the Bench…
A surprisingly good crowd appeared in Fayetteville for the Red-White game and the unveiling of the forward pass for the Hog faithful. It was also good to see the introduction of the tight-end eligible play. Maybe after an extended period of time with no passing game the Hogs can finally put [...]
I almost feel guilty. After throwing in a plug for my beloved Chicago Bears yesterday, the team went out and drafted two Hogs. It brings a tear to my eye.
Anyway, four more hogs were drafted on day two of the NFL Draft…
DT Marcus Harrison was the 90th overall pick, going in the third round to [...]
As most of you know by now, Darren McFadden was selected 4th overall by the Oakland Raiders in the first round of Saturday’s NFL Draft. Arkansas’ “Other” RB Felix Jones was selected 22nd overall in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. I wish them both the best of luck (except [...]
I’ve got some catching up to do since I was on a business trip to NWA this week. Although that trip did allow me to catch the first of the two game set against N. Colorado at Baum Tuesday. I have some mediocre pictures from my point and shoot I’ll be posting at my flickr [...]
Arkansas Track and Field Coach John McDonnell announced his retirement today. He will continue to coach thru the rest of this season. He currently has 42 national titles and 83 conference titles. We’ll miss him!

With the main sports seasons drawing to a close, along with my work life speeding up, I won’t be posting as often as I’d like. I’ll try to get a trough up tonight after I (hopefully) attend my first game at Baum Stadium. I’ll have pics to post if I get to go. Have a [...]
This Week From The Bench…
The interview with Mitch Mustain on the radio out in Southern California last week was very telling.
Many will e-mail me after this column telling me to let it go, but Mustain for better or worse will be a player forever etched in Razorback history. If it’s OK to discuss former players, [...]
Here’s The practice wrapups from the razorbloggers….4/11, 4/15. Michael Smith got a hip pointer friday before the scrimmage, but returned tuesday. Ryan Mallett is out for the rest of the spring with a thumb injury. The Traveler says it’s a fracture. FYI…USC Trojan Mitch Mustain lost the competition for the team’s starting spot…ha ha ha. [...]
This Week From The Bench…
Last week, The Sporting News ran a story rating the football coaches in the SEC. I have given annual report cards to UofA basketball and football coaches going on 10 years now, so why not grade out their competition. I will offer what I believe to be the best half-dozen in [...]
I don’t have much time so I’ll hit the high points (like I don’t already do that)….
Here’s this week’s Practice Wrapups 4/5, 4/6, 4/8, 4/10. They’ll Scrimmage today. The Sporting News ranks Petrino 10th best coach in the SEC. The Razorbloggers Recap what they’ve seen so far. DMac has some videos about the Wildhog and [...]
This Week From the Bench…
Funny how things turned out. Just two years removed from the Hogs having the Parade/Gatorade/USA Today Player of the Year high school quarterback who now resides at USC, the Hogs end up with Michigan’s quarterback who may be even better. The Hogs do not get Mallet if Mitch Mustain is still [...]
A quick trough for your Saturday…
Bobby Petrino’s father got ran over by an Arkansas WR during practice yesterday…He’s okay. Cornerback Jerell Norton appears to have pulled a hamstring during the practice. WR Crosby Tuck had a bad day. Redshirt freshman Tim Dial, who was a weakside linebacker, has left the team. All of the previous [...]

He also spoke to the media [...]
