Bazzel talking about displaying trophies & memorabilia from the last 60-75 years

Crazy most if not all of that stuff was on display in the BAC and coach's office under Nutt.

Wait bazzel for AD? Is that something that could work?

Don't even think about that

In an isolated situation where it's between HY and Bazzel exclusively, I'd take Bazzel in a heartbeat.

I mentioned on another thread but we need the next AD to have some AR roots or connections to the program.

Also why does it seem we fail so miserably on the small things? Hell have events a few times a year that highlight previous teams, show game footage and interview some of the key players on stage. Raise money for NIL. Plenty of fans would love to hear stories from memorable games/ seasons, especially with where the program is currently.

Baseball and basketball ( depending on the coach) have always done a better job than football about recognizing our history.

Ties into another discussion we were having about getting more instate talent. NIL alone isn’t gonna cut it if you don’t build a culture that has some pride about being a Razorback. You can’t buy that and yet it doesn’t cost anything.

I have no idea if DB would be a solid AD hire or not.... I will say he wouldn't be worse than HY.

We lost the pulse of the state between Long and HY. There is no connection to the people of Arkansas. You've got to bring the Madre Hill, DMac, JWright, Matt Jones, Hillis, etc type guys back around the program consistently. And not just football.
Cal is doing it in BBall..... bringing back the basketball guys and making connections.

STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS!!!!!!!

Do you mind explaining this to me like I'm 5.


There's not a kid on this team or future teams that have a clue who these folks are. And my guess is they probably don't give two shits as long as they're paid.


It's time for all this nostalgia bs to stop if they're serious about football.

Thanks

Then Long replaced Broyles and didn’t need 50+ years of legacy overshadowing him.

I don’t know if Bazz could be AD. I do know ours is failing. Hasn’t set up a football GM only, didn’t talk to Stephens or other money managers in Arkansas to set up NIL. All of this could have and should have been done in 20-21.

I do know Houston Nutt, Bazz, Nolan, Anderson, and others should be in our NIL raising all year long. Giving meetings like TD club, golfing events, etc…

Sure, you made my point for me.
We lost our culture. Our current kids don't know our legends. They don't know the tradition and don't know why the helmet matters. Say what you want about HDN and co. but it mattered and they made it matter. The captured lightning in a bottle. BP built on that and took it to the next level. Had us teetering on the brink of elite status until that fateful "motorcycle crash" or whatever you would like to call it.
The fact that our kids don't know those guys says we lost our way and the record speaks for itself. We are better when the state is united. Argue all you want but the numbers prove it and always have.
Yeah it may look a little different with NIL, but we still need Arkansas talent to make it work so we had better figure it out.
