FAYETTEVILLE — With the fact that University of Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek is now scheduling in-state schools after the school’s 75-year hiatus of doing so, I can’t help but think back to my high school days in the late 1970s.
That was a time when Arkansas State fans had bumper stickers reading “How long will the Hogs run,” a reference to former Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles’ stance on not playing in-state schools as he looked to make sure his school was viewed as the state’s team.
That was something that the late Broyles clearly accomplished.
