FAYETTEVILLE — Forty years ago today, Sports Illustrated hit the newsstands with one of its most iconic covers.
The image of Arkansas great Sidney Moncrief flying through the air during a game against Texas remains one of the magazine's best remembered. Not only does the picture tell a thousand words, it might resonate for a thousand years.
Manny Millan snapped the photo during No. 2 Arkansas' 75-71 win over No. 12 Texas in Barnhill Arena on Feb. 1, 1978, a payback game for the Razorbacks' only loss during a 25-1 start to the season, which ended with Arkansas playing in the Final Four.
