What happened to UA Track?????

When John McDonald was the coach he won 11 cross country, 10 indoor and 19 outdoor national titles.  I realize expecting another coach to do the same is asking a bit much.  However, the current head coach Bucknam has not won 1.  Shouldn't we expect more from our elite program?  Who thinks it is time to hire a new coach?

Questions surround Arkansas nickel position halfway through camp

The nickel position is key to the success of the Razorback defense as a play-making position, but after  Greg Brooks Jr.   this spring the depth at that position has been somewhat of a mystery. On top of it, Brooks has not been practicing for at least the past two practices. It would be one thing if he were a veteran, but Brooks is a true freshman who enrolled early in the spring. Coaches felt confident enough with him to move 2018 nickel starter D'Vone McClure inside to linebacker, but Brooks needs all the reps he can get. After Brooks -- and with him missing -- there have been a lot of different players working there.  Arkansas cornerbacks coach   Mark Smith   indicated that Brooks' injury was nothing serious in his post-practice interview. "I know it’s not a major thing," Smith  said. " I don’t know. I don’t know when they [plan to bring him back]." Redshirt junior  Micahh Smith  worked with the first group at nickel during Tuesday's pra...

Hogs humiliated at home by San Jose State, 31-24

Its getting really old discussing which Razorback defeat marks the worst loss in school history, but we have yet another candidate following another humiliation in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium...this time at the hands of the San Jose State Spartans by a score of 31-24. Arkansas waited until after halftime to even kind of show up (if you want to call it that). Arkansas coach  Chad Morris  said after the game that he was concerned with the pregame as the players, "W ere a little too loose." He added that, "I thought we were a little too giddy, and I made comment of that ." Arkansas tied the game 24-24 after falling behind 24-7 at the break, and there was a sense from those still in attendance that Arkansas might actually pull it out after all that. Nope. "His guys out-played us, they out coached us, and was very disappointed in the effort we showed tonight," Morris said after the game. "Everyone's going to be held accountable, from me ...
