Sully Says: Sports moms are special

Updated:

Sports moms come in all shapes and sizes. They do a number of ordinary things in extraordinary ways. They are there to cut up oranges, set-up fund raisers, wash the uniforms and haul the kids to practice.

Most importantly they are always in the stands cheering on their sons and daughters. More>>

    Brandon Mitchell came to Arkansas with the dream of being the starting quarterback. Four years later, the Louisiana native leaves trying to realize that same dream.

    I think comparing anyone to the original barrier breaker in sports is out of bounds. That's why I think it's wrong to call Jason Collins or anyone else the Jackie Robinson of the gay community.
    To many in the gay community, Jason Collins is a hero.  I respect that but I think comparing anyone to the original barrier breaker in sports is out of bounds. That's why I think it's wrong to call Jason Collins or anyone else the Jackie Robinson of the gay community.

    Thanks Coach B for letting us see "best on best" in your first Spring game at Arkansas.
    My greatest fear when Bret Bielema announced that it would be "best on best" in the annual Spring game was that the Hog offense, which has so much new (philosophy, QB, running backs, receivers), wouldn't be able to move the ball.

    I shouldn't have worried.

    I got this horrifying series of texts from my brother. He said he was about 75 feet away from the first explosion. "We are alright. 2 bombs went off right across from us. My ears are still ringing."

    I have no problem with the statement. I like the fact that Coach Bielema hasn't been afraid to call out Alabama.

    For most of the 2012-2013 Razorback season, it was Marshawn Powell, BJ Young and the rest of the Hogs. They were both offense-first players.

    Get ready to see a more defensive team.

    As long as Dave Van Horn can find an opponent, the Hogs will continue to play at least one game a year in Central Arkansas. Why? Because Coach gets it.

    We took it for granted - that wonderful 12 year run. Do you remember Nolan's first NCAA tourney team? Ron Huery, Mario Credit, Andrew Lang, Allie Freeman, Tim Scott, Keith Wilson, Larry Marks and Cannon Whitby.

    I think it would be a fun week for the fans and players from both teams and, win or lose, the University of Arkansas would have nothing to fear because this is - and will always be - a Razorback state.

    When was the last time a Hog basketball team had any real success on the road? Sadly, you have to go back when the Hogs were "Rollin with Nolan."

  • I think they have the dollars necessary to hit a home run, but I wouldn't be shocked to see them end up with a level 3 or 4 guy. History tells me that we'll get about 24 hours notice.
