A week from today begins the 2008 Arkansas Razorback football season and the Bobby Petrino era.  We’ll open our season hosting Western Illinois.  This should be a nice victory to start the season/era.  From there, we might not be so lucky.  We travel to Texas for week 3 and then our SEC (which has to be the toughest conference to be in) schedule starts with a visit to Fayetteville by Alabama.  I think 2008 is a great way to repeat as Alabama State Champions.  What do you think?

Did you know there is a debate going on about the most obnoxious fan base in SEC football?  Evidently, Arkansas either ranks 5th most or are practically tame.  Take your pick. Our fans are crazy (watch your cell phone usage) but I think we are polite fans that are crazy about our beloved Hogs.  Maybe I’m bias.

Speaking of the Arkansas Razorbacks…Congratulations to former hog Veronica Campbell-Brown who won gold for Jamaica in the 200-meter event in the 2008 Beijing Olympic games.
