Off the top of my head...
*ESPN agrees that
40 minutes of Hell was revolutionary...
*Also...
The Hogs started the baggy shorts craze and made you throw away your daisy dukes
*Frank Broyles (yea that Broyles) ...He has an award named after him and he mentored Switzer, Jimmy Johnson, Joe Gibbs, Pete Carol, Hayden Frye, Johnny Majors, Ken Hatfield and a host of others. proof
*Jerry Jones...Cowboys owner(most valuable NFL franchise)
*John McDonnell ...The most successful coach in NCAA history and the architect of the most powerful sports dynasty that the NCAA has ever seen.
*Gus played for the Hogs and started his college coaching career with the Hogs...He now leads one of the largest cults in America!
*CFP Chairman Jeff Long (Our AD)
As you can see ...Arkansas is a program of great influence in FB, BB, and Olympic Sports. I want to genuinely thank you for reading and every comment gets one FREE upvote!!!

Numerous Olympians going back to Slats Hardin from the 1930s through Lolo Jones in the 2010s.
