If you like football, you’ll love this weekend in the state of Arkansas. No matter what corner of the state you occupy, Jim Harris wants you to know there is a good chance some great football is taking place near you. Arkansas hosts South Carolina in a must-win game in Fayetteville. Henderson State and Ouachita Baptist meet in their annual “Battle of the Ravine”. Central Arkansas hosts Texas State. Even El Dorado gets in on the action with SAU and UAM holding their “Boomtown Classic”. Folks in northeast Arkansas get Arkansas State vs. Louisiana-Lafayette in a critical game for the Red Wolves, while Fitz Hill’s Delta Classic 4 Literacy pits UAPB and Grambling. There’s probably something we’re missing in there AND high school football winds down its regular season. So get out and enjoy it.

It is not tough to imagine that a kid named Marcus Jordan would prefer wearing Nike Air Jordan’s rather than Adidas. Jordan’s shoe preference and allegiance to dad’s company would be fine if he weren’t playing for Central Florida, an Adidas school. So after Jordan hit the court in Nike’s, UCF lost its apparel deal. Surely, Nike will come to the rescue here and the Knights will get a new shoe contract. Either way, it all seems a bit silly, no?
