This Week From the Bench…
There are still some who are obsessed with hating former Razorback coach Houston Nutt, and there are also some, believe it or not, who still love him. Many are still very preoccupied with Nutt as he shows up on radio shows in this state and at banquets.
I believe this continued preoccupation [...]

Matt Jones fall from stardom was tragic this past week. Who was the writer that said show me a hero and I will show you a tragic ending (Maybe, it was Emerson). I could write a long diatribe about sports and drugs and how one is ruining the other. How the [...]

The last seven years have been a columnist’s dream, and I would like to personally thank all parties involved for providing such rich content to write about. Even in the offseason, there seemed to be one scandal after another that kept the chat rooms active. (I love to call the Internet [...]

I believe the new coach is much more willing to take that chance. Whether you like it or not, the fate of this team almost certainly lies on the shoulders of your fourth-year quarterback. Players who are good as freshmen and have unproven ability will rise or fall with the play [...]

Usually at about this time during the summer, I provide my preseason prediction for Razorback football in a game-by-game scenario. But I am reluctant right now to do such a thing because I want to wait at least until the freshmen have participated in practice this August.
Why am I waiting? There [...]

The Hogs should never be ninth or worse in the SEC based on all that program has been given to work with. If Dave Van Horn rolls out another stinker of a season like this next year, I will be calling for his head just like I did for Houston Nutt [...]

Now that Razorback sports news has slowed down with basketball, spring football, and baseball done (regardless of the undeserving NCAA bid), this would be a good time to reflect on Frank Broyles an his legacy that stretches 50 years. No column is going to do this topic justice, but my limitations [...]

No date on the upcoming Razorback football schedule rings louder than October 25. The date, of course, is the return of Houston Nutt to the University of Arkansas campus for a game featuring his Ole Miss Rebels against his former team, the Razorbacks.

Spring football practice for the Arkansas Razorbacks is over and many pundits are already giving their preseason predictions mostly because they have nothing else to talk about. I will wait a little longer before going out on that limb because the results of spring practice offered no certainties for the success [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The game against Kentucky on Saturday was monumental for this Razorback basketball program trying to get itself reestablished in the top-of-mind awareness among the statewide fan base. But even though Kentucky is considered the primary rivalry game for the basketball team and has historically been a big match-up, many fans did [...]
