    Was lucky enough to hang out with Ralphie a few months before he passed. He is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. Being from Arkansas and being a Hog fan myself we had a lot to talk about! Never enough time. I wish he could see the Hogs play this year, he would be proud. RIP Ralphie May! Go Hogs!

    About a year or so before Ralphie died I had heard from a co worker he was in town (hot springs Arkansas) at the time 22 caliber ammo was really hard to find because there was a huge shortage and you had to like check every Walmart just to find any. Anyway I was in the sporting goods section on the Albert pike Walmart and was actually shopping for some fishing jigs and carp bait when all of a sudden I hear the worlds most distinctive voice say y’all got any 22 long rifle shells in stock and I looked over and at the cash register was Ralphie freaking May. They actually had some that day it was Remington 50 round boxes for like $2.59 and the limit was three boxes and my man said I just need one for today leave the other two for someone else. Not only did I see one of my personal hero’s in the flesh but I also realized he was a better person than 90 percent of people including me. Because I went over and bought my limit after him and called my girl from the car and she bought her limit too. The cashier was as dumbfounded as me that it was really him he actually had id’d him as he looked under 40 I first asked him if that was Ralphie May or was I nuts and he said yes it was and that he couldn’t believe it either. Rest easy brother you were a class act and your lucky you don’t have to be here during this virus/ destruction of our southern heritage just up there drinking with Cash and Conway and the best of them!

      I was a freshman at Hendrix that year- obviously we’re not a big sports school-no sports scholarships, you don’t go there mainly to play a sport, you go there for the academics-and of course pretty much everyone there are huge Razorbacks fans. That night in March ‘94 during the playoffs, and especially the championship game, we were all glued to the TVs, all over campus. And when AR won the national championship that night, our little campus absolutely ERUPTED. I’m sure other schools did too, all over Arkansas. ❤️
      I’m a Razorbacks fan from birth-not just because of being born and raised here, but my 80 yr old mother AND her mother were both U of A grads. (Classes of 1963 and 1933.) Even if I didn’t know the Razorbacks were currently on TV (football or basketball), I would automatically know, because of all the screaming at the TV coming from Mom in another room! 😆

      Arkansas will get back there soon enough with this coaching staff. Sam Pittman has done a tremendous job so far with such an immediate turnaround. Given the fact that we play the toughest schedule in the history of college football this year, and should rightfully 4-4 or 5-3 if not for the Marc Curles screwjobs (Auburn & LSU), I'd say we're already 'good' again now as we SHOULD be Top-25.

      "Garbage?" No, not hardly. Certainly, we weren't ready for the rigors of the SEC as our football program was in a coaching transition at the same time we entered the conference. But we won the west our 4th year in the SEC, and have won it twice since. We've also had several top 25 finishes since joining the SEC. Now you're right about basketball, but that can be laid at the feet of then-chancellor John White, who forced us to use a committee to hire Nolan's replacement. Frank Broyles (our AD at the time) had already secured Bill Self as Nolan's replacement, but White wrecked our basketball program with his meddling. We've been reeling ever since. But that's about to change.
