Razorback basketball head coach John Pelphrey kicked off the start of the ’07-’08 season by opening the doors of Bud Walton Arena to the public last Friday night. The over 6,200 fans that showed up were able to meet the Razorback players, coaches and spirit squads in a relaxed and friendly environment that included autographs, [...]
It’s True…I’m A Hogaholic
August 27, 2007 By
I admit it…I’ve been one for years. It started when I was a child. You could say I was a product of my upbringing and environment. With each passing year, my addiction grew and grew until it consumed me. I’ve partaken in it day and night. I’ve even missed work because of it. I’ve both paid to do it [...]
Expanding The Palace
August 20, 2007 By
I recently stopped by Bud Walton Arena and took some shots of the 12 new luxury suites currently under construction. As you may remember, this expansion project was announced back in April and should be ready for this season. Once the construction of these new boxes (six each on the east and west sides) is finished, it will bring [...]
Brew Crew
June 28, 2007 By
With summer officially here, there are basketball camps going all across Northwest Arkansas. For basketball junkies like me, it’s a chance to see former Hog players give back to the state and community that provided them with so many memories and so much support during their time as Razorbacks. And like Coach Pelphrey’s camp earlier this month, it’s also great to [...]
Camp Pelphrey
June 18, 2007 By
It’s the middle of June and we’ve hit the season Razorback fans dislike the most…the off-season. Spring football was, well, back in the spring. The Hog baseball postseason was short-lived. And very little news has come out of the basketball program since the hiring of John Pelphrey back in April. But it wouldn’t be summer without camps, and [...]
Thank You, Augusta
April 16, 2007 By
It was just two weeks ago today that Stan Heath’s replacement was announced. And to the shock and amazement of many, the next Razorback men’s basketball coach was…Dana Altman from Creighton. Uh…where was that big time, big name coach we were all promised? Surely this was just an April Fool’s joke and the real announcement would [...]
Right Back Where We Started
March 18, 2007 By
Ever notice how a ride at an amusement park works…particularly a roller coaster? You start by getting on and fastening your safety harness, not knowing what awaits but anxious with anticipation. The ride (season) starts, and you have highs and lows, twists and turns, excitement and trepidation, but in the end…you end up right back where [...]
‘So You’re Saying There’s A Chance?’
March 7, 2007 By
The wins over Mississippi State and Vanderbilt last week reminded me of a funny line from the movie Dumb and Dumber, in which Lloyd Christmas (played by Jim Carrey) asks his love interest Mary Swanson (played by Lauren Holly) these questions: Lloyd: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like [...]
Trail of Tears
February 22, 2007 By
If the first two months of 2007 are any predictor for the remainder of the year, I’m ready to put on moccasins, a headdress and walk the Hogfan Trail of Tears with fellow RazorBloggers Chief HogBlogger, Warrior TipsterHog and Medicine Man Walking on Sunshine. Lay out the hot coals, I’m ready to walk across them if it [...]
Turn Out The Lights
February 12, 2007 By
Anyone familiar with the history of ABC’s Monday Night Football knows about Don Meredith and his fondness to belt out his rendition of “The Party’s Over” in the booth during blowout games, much to Howard Cosell’s irritation. After Saturday’s close loss on the road to LSU, I could hear Dandy Don singing that song once [...]
