So... in your world a Pump Fake in basketball is now a turnover?

Play Action in football is an Illegal Procedure penalty?

Practice Swing in golf is a two stroke penalty?

More NIL/money suppliers should do this.

There has to be some buyout to hold the players accountable.

Arkansas is going after Nico's little brother now and I don't blame them.

I learned all I needed to know from a tweet that noted Razorback Hater Pat Forde sent out a day or so ago in which he praised the U of A for their stance and their subsequent legal action to hold the athletes accountable. If that guy is posting anything positive about Arkansas, then it's indeed notable.

What that tells me is that schools need not worry about public opinion - it's almost universally on the side of the schools in this scenario. And secondly, the chilling effect it will have on recruits not wanting to go to schools who take this stand is likely a whole lot less significant than feared.

Though he never lived in Arkansas, Dan Wilson's dad was chancellor of UAMS for many, many years. If you don't know Dan Wilson (lead singer of Semisonic), google how many songs he's written or co-written. It's pretty impressive.

1. Game 7 2014 World Series. Gordo hits a triple and Salvy is at the plate to tie it bottom 9. But Baumgardner is just too good. My Royals came up short, but damn what a game!

2. 1978 Orange Bowl - Hogs 31 Sooners 6. My first ever Razorbacks game in person. Hogs complete domination over the consensus #1 all season.

3. 1990 Elite 8 - Hogs beat texas in Reunion Arena to go to the Final Four

4. 1981 Hogs 42 horns 11 - Hogs dominate the top ranked horns in every way possible in Fayetteville.

5. Miracle on Markham - Jones to Birmingham to Atlanta. Boring game for 59 minutes and then Matt Jones orchestrates one of the most magical drives ever put together. Never heard a place so loud.

6. UNLV at Arkansas 1991 - The hype leading up to that 1 vs 2 matchup was unreal. I met Walter Payton on the concourse before that game.

7. I was at BOTH the Stoernover game in Knoxville and the Redemption game the following year in Fayetteville. Without doubt, the Redemption game and the subsequent Dickson St celebration were MUCH more fun.

8. Kentucky at Arkansas 1992 - Pitino and Jamal Mashburn had no idea what they were walking into that night in Barnhill. Corliss, Scotty and Hawk manhandled them and let them know there was a new bully on the block.

Just curious what random fans from around the country might possess from any of their NCs in any sport.

1994 Natty - Hogs 76 Duke 72

- Framed front page of local newspaper from the next morning
- Framed Sports Illustrated with Corliss on the cover
- T-Shirt I bought in Bud Walton that night which is the same one the players put on prior to the trophy ceremony (gave it to my daughter to wear to games when she was a student at the UA 2019 - 2023). She won't give it back LOL
- Six pack of commemorative Coca Cola in special 8 oz bottles
- Replica baseball cap that the players wore on the court cutting down the nets
- Framed commemorative ticket from Bud Walton Opening Night. I think that was the Murray State game and not the 54-point beatdown of Missouri.

I've never seen anyone spell Wes Johnson like that. Interesting.

It is terrible but it is not as bad as the morning sports radio shows in Arkansas.

They have one in the evening that avoids sports and talks about polling questions.

Haven't lived in Little Rock in 14 years, but I still remember some of the unbelievable stuff that came out of Randy Rainwater's chum hole. Randy is easily the most stupid human to ever host a radio show. His absence of intellect is only surpassed by his complete lack of command of the English language. The New England Patriots were a "Jogger-Nut" of a team.

And as rock-bottom STUPID as Randy is, his callers are exponentially more dumb.

I'm sure this has probably been asked on here before, but what's the deal with vandy's reserves doing silly skits in RF during inning breaks? It seems like some kind of tradition there - like the whistling a-hole. How long have they been doing it? And is it a fan favorite, or are vandy fans embarrassed by it?

Pat Summerall was a very good announcer.

And a University of Arkansas alum. WPS

Danielson is "elite" at mispronouncing names and reading facts about players and programs directly out of the Media Guide without doing any prep whatsoever. That does not apply to Bama or UGA. He's got an encyclopedic knowledge of those programs. However, if your lowly non-Bama/UGA team is against them, all you're going to hear is what's been force fed to him by the SID over his bran flakes that morning. Glad to see him go.

I hope Bill Raftery in hoops is not far behind.
