5/7/2008 - By Hootens.com Staff

Razorback research, long-term expectations
5/4/2008 - By Dennis Smithson
I was born in 1958, so in my formative years, the HOGS won with regularity. I expect Arkansas to win. Bruce James always told watchers of Sports Week that Arkansas should never lower their expectations. Rick Schaeffer always says we should not expect too much. After all, Alabama, Auburn and LSU expect to win. So what should Razorback fans expect? BusinessDictionary.com gives this definition of expectations: Presumed degree of probability of an occurrence; average probability of a chance occurrence.

Bentonville RB Blackmon overcomes, thrives
9/27/2007 - By Nate Olson
"There's a guy named Anthony Blackmon who has the potential to surprise a lot of people. He played defense for us last year, and he moved to running back in the spring. Anthony is a great story. He has a 4.0 grade point. He is a wonderful young man, and he had one of the most phenomenal off-seasons I have seen. I think he has a chance to get a lot of attention by the time the season's over. - Bentonville Coach Barry Lunney (at Hooten's Arkansas Football magazine release July 10, 2007)
