Arkansas coach Sam Pittman speaks to the Little Rock Touchdown Club on Tuesday, Aug. 24, 2021, at DoubleTree Hotel in downtown Little Rock.

There was fanfare aplenty as the Little Rock Touchdown Club returned from a 20-month covid-19 hiatus Tuesday at the Doubletree Hotel in Little Rock.

University of Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman, the guest speaker, waited patiently on the podium, and he listened intently as club founder David Bazzel thanked a large number of sponsors, volunteers, dignitaries, friends and more sponsors.

Pittman received a rousing ovation from the audience of 600 that turned into a Hog call.
