• Jeff Long formally introduced John L. Smith as the new football coach for the Arkansas Razorbacks Tuesday. Another sign that this is no normal hire, Long also said he looks forward to having seven months now – instead of two weeks – to find yet another head coach.

• So who is John L. Smith? You already know about his background with Bobby Petrino, but he’s also related to an NFL starting quarterback, has done everything Hemingway ever did (except for winning the Nobel Prize in literature and fighting in World War I) and he’s even been caught on camera slapping a coach.

• And outfielder Sean Bignall has already set the single-season home run record for UALR. He’s got 16 through 40 games and is among the country’s top home run threats.
