Arkansas offensive lineman Brady Latham takes part in a drill Thursday, April 15, 2021, during practice at the university practice field in Fayetteville.
It was in August 1979 when the Southwest Conference press tour arrived in Fayetteville for the annual hype stop for football season. A little known offensive lineman took center stage.
In a bit of a spoof, center Mike Burlingame announced that he was mounting a campaign for the Heisman Trophy. His thoughts: Why not me?
Sports information director Rick Schaeffer recalls visiting with Burlingame over the summer in his preparation for the media guide.
