Saturday dawned hot and very much still summer, and I had to pinch myself for the realization to sink in: It’s Razorback football season.Officially.
For the next three months, and let’s go ahead and presume it’ll be three months plus, it’ll be so. Can I get an amen?
This year’s high school cross country opening meet in Arkadelphia made Fayetteville an impossibility for us on Saturday, but all day leading up to kickoff that Christmas-like buzz was prevalent.
And on Saturday, the Hogs filled our stockings with some goodies: a downfield passing game; a receiver who’s grown into a playmaker the likes of J-Wright and Childs; a beast of a tight end combo in Henry and Sprinkle (BVC’s description of Sprinkle in open-field mode was brilliant); and an efficient QB who, yes, may have missed a couple, but made a few that would’ve challenged more than a few pros based on what I see in the NFL these days.
