The challenges of playing football during the pandemic could act to level the playing field a bit in the SEC or it might just make the strong even stronger. Hopefully it is the latter.

Since 1974 whatever Arkansas basketball has been and what it will be in the future can be traced back to Eddie Sutton and his vision for Razorback basketball.

Razorback men’s basketball coach Eric Musselman, Razorback men’s golf coach Brad McMakin, and Razorback softball coach Courtney Deifel will be the featured coaches.

The entirety of college athletics as we know it all but rides upon a college football season of some sort.

We live in a very fluid and uncertain world at the moment that forces daily adjustments, and there is no handbook for running an athletic department during a pandemic.

The proposal could put the Hogs back on the playing field as scheduled on Sept. 5 against Nevada in Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

If we get to the point where students are attending classes and living on campus at most SEC schools this fall, it looks like we can expect some kind of SEC football season.

Hopefully Pittman and his new staff will lead to more Razorbacks being taken in the first four rounds, and then the NFL Draft will be truly interesting to Hog fans.

A record 15 SEC players were selected among the 32 first-round NFL picks Thursday night.

The greatest periods of success in modern Razorback basketball history revolve around clusters of talented players arriving at nearly the same time.

It’s only been a few weeks since ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit sent shockwaves though college football fandom when he speculated that there would not be a college football season this fall.

I was greatly saddened to learn that Richardson passed away Thursday in Little Rock of respiratory distress after testing positive for COVID-19.

It was an honor long overdue for Sutton, who no doubt had his personal struggles, but was without a doubt one of the great teachers and coaches of the game.

It sure would be fun to have a true rooting interest in the Final Four once again.

If we can’t watch sports, we can at least fantasize and speculate.

The rule has been in place since 2011, but for Razorback fans it’s been more and more noticeable in recent years.

Since neither player is considered to be a first-round pick, it’s not like returning for another year would cost them a great deal of money or leverage.
