FAYETTEVILLE — It seems just like it was yesterday, but come Feb. 10 it will be 28 years.
It’s easy to remember the date because it was the third birthday of my daughter Lindsey, who will soon be 31, a homeowner and soon-to-be married. Neither her nor my late wife Laura was happy that I was headed out the door so early to work.
Duty calls, in this case to go cover No. 1 UNLV taking on No. 2 Arkansas in a much ballyhooed showdown that was slated for a morning start.
There were two big observations from that game, one that the Runnin’ Rebels (20-0) were better as evidenced by their 112-105 win over the Razorbacks (23-2) before a packed house at Barnhill Arena.
