PODCAST: Put Nolan’s name on Arkansas’ court

@TJCarpenterShowtj@hogsportsradio.com – The University of Arkansas has done many things to honor Nolan Richardson’s contributions in basketball. But even after pep rallies and a documentary, isn’t it time to honor Richardson in a more permanent way? Putting his name on the floor would be the final piece of lumber laid to bridge a gap that once distanced once of Arkansas’ and College Basketball’s most legendary coaches. Chris Bahn discussed it with us, along with Blake Eddins and John Engleman of KFSM Channel 5. Also, we talk about the long term affects of conference realignment and what it means for the top of college football and the BCS. Does Roger Goodell make too much money? Roddy White thinks so.

Perhaps the biggest storyline to emerge from the press conference announcing the return of Mike Anderson to Arkansas as head coach came not from Anderson himself, the Arkansas press or Arkansas fans.  No, at an event arranged to welcome a 17-year assistant at the University of Arkansas back to run the same program his children grew cheering, the standout moment of the day was provided by an ambitious, if unprofessional, Missouri reporter by the name of Dani Wexelman.
