State of the Hogs: Arkansas-turned-New York columnist knows what lies ahead for Anderson

The premise for the call was to discuss what Mike Anderson was facing in his new job as St. John’s basketball coach.

That was front and center in the 45-minute phone call with Mike Vacarro, but really the reason was just to catch up with one of my favorite contributors from the early days of Hawgs Illustrated.

Vacarro has been the lead sports columnist for the New York Post since 2002. He’s one of the great ones in our industry.

I’ll take you back to the summer of 1992 when Hawgs Illustrated was – as it is now – a 48-page magazine.
