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.

PODCAST: Arkansas tries to focus in the face of tragedy, Rollin’ with Nolan, Elway vs Tebow?

Arkansas gets ready for LSU right after the sudden and tragic death of Garrett Uekman, a TE for the Razorbacks. This is likely the biggest game in program history for the Razorbacks, not only does it mean a trip to the national title, but it also means Arkansas is set up to compete as an elite team in the SEC for the foreseeable future. Nolan Richardson is on to talk about the Razorbacks Basketball season and life without Marshawn Powell who is out for the season with a knee injury. Robbie Neiswanger of the Arkansas News Bureau talks about the game on Friday, and John Engleman of KFSM Channel 5 talks about whether or not a big game from Tyler Wilson could punch his ticket to New York for the Heisman race. Also, is John Elway’s tebow criticism wearing thin in the city of Denver? Does he have a point or is it just sour grapes?
