By 6 p.m. Saturday, we'll have already found out where Darren McFadden is headed to begin his NFL career, and then we'll be among several thousand Arkansas Razorback fans wanting a glimpse at the football program under the new direction of Bobby Petrino... read more >

The last time the University of Arkansas issued this kind of press release - that a "major announcement" was being made regarding the future of one of the Hogs' many athletic endeavors - Houston Nutt was leaving as football coach. .. read more >

Jack Nicklaus set the record for lowest winning score in the Masters in 1965, firing a 17-under. The next year, under windier and wetter conditions through the four days, Nicklaus won another green jacket by shooting even-par, winning in an 18-hole playoff with two others... read more >

We've reached a point in professional golf and the media coverage of it that golf.com - Sports Illustrated's website devoted to the sport - has a photo feature today on 10 shots of Tiger Woods in dismay during his weekend at Augusta, Ga... read more >

When Memphis managed to blow seven points of a 10-point lead in the last 24 seconds against Mississippi State, and to even allow a desperation try at a tying 3-pointer by the Bulldogs' Jamont Gordon at the buzzer, back on March 23 in the NCAA Tournament second round, you knew then that Memphis wasn't a certain bet to cut down the nets on April 7. .. read more >

I've always had this fascination at why Memphis, the city of, seems so far away from Arkansans. In travel time, it's a half-hour closer to see the Memphis Tigers play basketball than to see the Arkansas Razorbacks in Bud Walton Arena. Geological formation around the receding Mississippi River eons ago left the west side of the river higher, to form St. Louis, but left the east side higher in leaving a bluff for Memphis (and Greenville, and Vicksburg, etc.)... read more >

Not only does Dickey-Stephens Park offer majestic and panoramic views of the Little Rock downtown skyline, its outfield berms allow for terrific viewing of major storm systems heading in from the west. As the Travelers began their seventh-inning at-bat, after radio announcer Phil Elson had amused us once again by referring to Cracker "Jacks" in "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," the change in wind direction, the fifth streak of cracked-sky lightning in five minutes and the sudden accompanying thunderclap sent us scurrying Thursday night. .. read more >

Feeling a little flat this week after last weekend's NCAA Tournament excitement at Alltel Arena? It's to be expected. What we anxiously awaited for three years came and went in about three days, and the Arkansas Razorbacks came and went from the NCAA Tournament as well in far-off Raleigh... read more >

The question begged after Friday's NCAA Tournament results: Would fans rather have two of the top eight teams in the tourney at their regional, or a handful of four and five seeds who end up being upset?.. read more >

Pardon me this wistful moment: I was thinking how fast time has flown in the three or so years since we learned the NCAA had chosen Alltel Arena for a first- and second-round site. And now, it's here. All these far-off events we think are so in the distant future, and what will happen in the meantime, and now it's suddenly here... read more >

Arkansas may have managed just two wins in a row in the Southeastern Conference Tournament and lost the final to lowly Georgia, but Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie believes the Razorbacks have what it takes to go on a six-game run and win the NCAA Tournament, which starts this week... read more >

Let's not be counting our NCAA Tournament berths before they're awarded, but the two most formidable factors standing in the Arkansas Razorbacks' way fell flat in Atlanta on Thursday night. .. read more >

Every few months John Daly goes and does not one but a series of stupid, silly, bizarre things and leaves everybody shaking their heads. Fans and sportscasters are ready to write him off, consider him nothing more than a caricature, and move on with following real golfers... read more >

Razorback Club meetings are intended as rah-rah sessions to keep Arkansas football fans fired up, ready to buy tickets for next season and expecting great results in the fall. A unscientific study based on 40-plus years of closely watching Razorback football reveals that every new UA coach's initial appearance before a Razorback Club anywhere in Arkansas draws its biggest crowd. Everywhere Bobby Petrino has gone so far in this pre-spring practice tour of the state, fans have turned out en masse. .. read more >

Lawrence Moten, if he still worries about his untimely decision to call for a timeout 13 years ago, can relax now. Even the Arkansas Razorback fans have forgotten the former Syracuse star's costly goof in the 1995 NCAA Tournament... read more >

That display in Tuscaloosa, Hog fans, was dreadful. Of course, you knew that already. At at moment when good teams -- teams that believe they belong in the NCAA Tournament -- should be playing their best basketball of the season, the Arkansas Razorbacks went to Alabama and played their worst. .. read more >

For a lifelong Razorback fan, last night's cocktail reception honoring the 12 new inductees into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame was a slice of Hog Heaven. There in real life again were the heroes many of us grew up with, the guys who jump-started the Hogs to greatness, such as Billy Moore, and the ones who took them there with 22 straight wins, such as Bobby Crockett.
