HOOTENS.COM: Predictions for 2008?
JONATHAN LUIGS: I don't know about win-loss record, but I know that we are going to be a good team and the sky's the limit with this new offense and defense. We'll get some help from this recruiting class with some of those skill players. I think if we do what our coaches tell us and stay disciplined when it gets hard in the fourth quarter, that we'll be able to turn some heads.

Dear D-Mac: a letter to the 60-million-dollar man
|
|
Don't you remember me? I'm the fool who accidentally called you the wrong name at the 2004 State Farm Awards at the IMAX Theatre, where you were honored as the Class 4A Offensive Player of the Year. You graciously shrugged it off and chatted for a second anyway.

Nuttin' but work: Petrino puts Hogs through longest known UA scrimmage
|
|
Any questions Arkansas' coaching staff had about the Razorbacks were likely answered Friday afternoon in an 165-play scrimmage that had the Hogs on the field warming up at 3:15 p.m. and exiting for the locker room at 6:45. The scrimmage was the longest seen on the UA campus, perhaps ever.

Petrino: UA needed skilled players and state's prep programs delivered
|
|
Facing heavy matriculation from the skilled positions on offense and defense, Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino and his staff targeted wide receivers, running backs and defensive backs in their first recruiting class and based on that criteria, the Hogs met their needs with the 2008 recruiting class.

|
|
North Little Rock native and former Razorback great Darren McFadden faces a long weekend of questioning by coaches, scouts and executives at the NFL's scouting combine. McFadden will answer million-dollar questions, literally, the next couple of days. How well he answers will determine how long his wait on NFL draft weekend (April 26-27).

Arkansas signee Joseph Adams is as smooth off the field as he is on it. The Central Arkansas Christian star receiver executed the recruiting process like a crisp slant pattern.

Dollarway D-end Allen faces tough choice: Houston Nutt or the Hogs
|
|
"If (Nutt) was still at Arkansas, he would have gone there hands down," the elder Allen says. "He is crazy about Houston Nutt. I don't know how much of a difference it will make that (Nutt) has gone to Ole Miss. He has a lot of respect for Houston Nutt, but he is a Hog fan like the rest of us."

Q&A w/1976 Cotton Bowl MVP & Razorback great Ike Forte
|
|
Arkansas' return to the Cotton Bowl always brings back fond memories for Razorback fans. The venerable downtown Dallas stadium is the site of some of the more significant days in the school's football history. The Hogs' first win there, a victory over Nebraska Jan. 1, 1965, produced their only national championship. After a Cotton Bowl loss the next year to LSU, ending a 22-game winning streak, Arkansas had to wait ten years for another trip to Dallas.
