State of the Hogs: Tony Bua did it his way

FAYETTEVILLE — Tony Bua was asked one question before taking the stage at the Northwest Arkansas Touchdown Club on Wednesday: Did he want to stand at the podium, or prefer a wireless microphone?

It was a silly question. Bua has never stood still in his life. He didn't stand for anything during a magnificent four-year career at Arkansas (2000-2003) that was split between outside linebacker and free safety. He's the school's all-time leading tackler with 408.

Bua explained that he didn't stand still for what he thought were horrible calls by the SEC referees in a 10-3 loss to Auburn in 2003.
