“When I saw [Baum Stadium ] and all the fans at the game, I pretty much knew I was coming here. The facilities here are the best I’ve seen, by far, and I thought Arkansas would be the best fit for me.”.........[more]

For the past two months, the state of Arkansas has been witness to one of the strangest soap operas this side of General Hospital. An ostensibly successful SEC football program appears to be unraveling.

A heralded young offensive coordinator left town after just one season. The most decorated recruit in school history will soon follow. Last Saturday, the Razorbacks' Hall of Fame patriarch/athletic director became the latest casualty.

AUBURN — Leading by five points with a precious six seconds remaining in the first half, Auburn's Quantez Robertson came flying into the lane, grabbing hold of the ball in midair

Robertson's bucket came with three seconds remaining in the first half, but it was a snapshot of how Auburn owned Arkansas all night..........[more]

AUBURN, Ala. — The first dozen offensive rebounds snagged by Auburn embarrassed Arkansas’ players and maddened Razorbacks coach Stan Heath.

But No. 13 — the 13th before halftime, mind you — did even more damage during Arkansas’ 67-59 loss Wednesday night in Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum.

At 24-3 overall and 11-1 in league play, defending champion Florida is assured no worse than a No. 2 seed on Selection Sunday.

And that's it.

Numerous losses, poor road resumes, and/or sub-.500 records against elite competition, however, suggest that no other SEC club is certain to even make the field of 65 at this point.

Now, when it's all said and done, I think between four and six SEC teams will go dancing. Which is why the league's tournament will be the single most important postseason event in America..........[more]

CLEMSON -- His diploma from the University of Arkansas hangs at eye level on the wall opposite the door to Dr. Terry Don Phillips office, but the trappings of Clemson University athletic director are predominant.

There's no denying Phillips' affection for his alma mater, and he said Tuesday it would be "less than honest" if he tried.

"I just know how I feel about Clemson right now," Phillips said when pressed on whether he would be interested in following Frank Broyles as Arkansas athletic director..........[more]

University of Arkansas board of trustees members have plans to review policies governing the relationship between the boosters of system schools and their respective athletic departments.

Board member Dr. Carl Johnson of Little Rock suggested the board study existing rules in light of recent controversy surrounding a hate-filled e-mail sent from Little Rock booster Teresa Prewett to former Arkansas Razorbacks quarterback Mitch Mustain. Prewett received a reprimand from Coach Houston Nutt after the e-mail was brought to the attention of Chancellor John White..........[more]
