McFadden update August 31, 2006

Darren McFadden not only dressed out for practice Wednesday, he carried the ball on a running play and accelerated and made a cut. Knowing the media is only allowed to shoot for the first 20 minutes, the psychological war is in full swing with USC. One source told me to expect to see Darren McFadden [...]

Who wants to go out on a line? August 28, 2006

Ok, since we’re only 5 days away from the Razorback game, does anybody want to make a prediction? I’ll be there in person to see it, but I’m not sure if I can make the pick.
I think the game will be decided by 7 points or less….
I have been hearing the national media praising [...]

Derek/Mark pick the winners August 28, 2006

We didn’t get to these on our one hour show Sunday, and really, we’re not thrilled about having these picks written down for many to laugh at us later if we’re wrong… but here goes…

Natural Selection August 28, 2006

I’ve gone through probably 30-40 postings to our message boards relative to choices for the new Springdale minor-league baseball team name. We’ve seen everything from references to poultry to mascots that would never fly in this area — pun intended.

One of them stood out to me big time.

The Arkansas (or NW Arkansas or Springdale, for [...]

Lou Holtz in Fayetteville August 26, 2006

Former Arkansas and Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz was at the Fayetteville Wal-Mart today. Apparently, Coach Broyles made an appearance, but was gone by the time we got there. The two sat and talked during Holtz’ appearance. I guess time heals all wounds. Tonight, 8/26, we’ll hear from Holtz on returning to Fayetteville and his [...]

Baptism by Hog Fire August 26, 2006

My Dad and his girlfriend are coming down for the USC Razorback game! I need to get them prepped on how to call the hogs………
I was fortunate to grab six tickets for the game…….well, let’s just say Drew had the winning bid at the Grape Escapes auction for a really nice hog package. The auction [...]

Thoughts from the viewer August 26, 2006

I say leave them the Wranglers. (Springdale Wranglers) After all, Springdale is pretty famous for it’s rodeo, and we could use another name besides Har-ber, Tyson or Hunt for everything in town. They’re all great people, but enough already. And naming them after chickens? I’d be ashamed to have to wear that jersey………

Depth Chart…. yipppeee! August 25, 2006

The Hogs release their 2-deep for the Southern Cal game. Freshman Damian Williams is actually listed as a co-starter alongside Cedric Washington opposite Marcus Monk at wide receiver.
As for the placekicking, the job goes to sophomore Stephen Arnold. He beat out Dan Bailey for the duties, of course kickers are a just a couple of [...]

Hogs Practice Report August 24, 2006

Not a good start to practice Wednesday. The players were not focused and missing assignments, so Houston Nutt called the team together and started the whole practice over, even the stretching!
On the injury front, linebacker Weston Dacus will take a couple days off to rest his ankle and try to practice Saturday. [...]
