Hogs Home Opener ... and Closer

Now that Trent Wooldridge and Doc Harper sadly left ArkansasFight.com, we happily bring you the Bert Beliema approved companion to the Hogs' 2017 home opener. Brought to you courtesy of Bob Marley, Tito's Vodka, and the sense of overwhelming relief that Austin Allen wasn't decapitated in the third quarter.

The Razorbacks ushered in the post-J. Frank Broyles era by ushering out Wall Memorial Stadium. Much like Wally Hall, the Metaphor on Markham hasn't been relevant in a few decades. Unfortunately, no one has the heart to tell the old, racist bastards time has long since past them by.

Last night, Jeff Long finally called the vet, and put the old girl down.  And because Little Rock is a community that loves to fluff it's own tradition, the community rallied around the send-off like the Hogs closed out the Belk Bowl. By not showing up.

As for the game, things got interesting early as the Florida A&M Rattlers came out in White-on-White uniforms (Was that ... in honor of Charlottesville???) that violated an otherwise never heard of rule the NCAA dreamed up to punish teams that ride 10 hours on a broken down bus to make a pay-off game. FAMU was penalized one time-out per quarter, and that proved to be the difference in the 42 to 7 victory for our beloved Razorbacks.

The Hogs failed to cover the 40 point spread -- which was, as always, Nolan's fault. We return next week to the cozy confines of the Donald W. Reynolds Jobsite. Until then...
