Coach Nutt was gracious enough to allow Alex back into the Razorback family. Alex is very humbled by that act. He knows Arkansas is a special place and the right place for him right now.

Coach Johnson is from Arkansas and grew up in that area and he was able to come out and watch me. He started talking with me and recruiting me.

Ashley called us during the season and let us know that there was another great player in the state of Mississippi. The two of them took their official visits, and there's been a lot of talk about what 'we' were going to do at Arkansas among the recruits.

You not playing condo canyon golf. We're out in the Arkansas River Valley. We don't require carts, and we encourage you to walk. It's truly a walk in a woods.

This is a result of hard work from teachers and administrators. Being one of the six schools in Arkansas to accomplish this is exciting.

The University of Arkansas is going to California and playing a great football team, ... It's something to get excited about.

The University of Arkansas afforded me the opportunity to embellish my education,

This corporation is truly an example of corporate partnership and we are truly thankful for their support over the years and if it were not for them some of our events may not have been produced or would not have been as successful were it not for Arkansas Steel Associates.

This doesn't necessarily mean Alex is leaving Arkansas. Arkansas is still very much in the mix, but he's in the process of evaluating what's best for his future.

This Arkansas team is the perfect team for us to come back and try to solidify some of the things that we not only did not do well at Florida in terms of defending the basketball, but there were some of the same things we didn't do well in Fayetteville. We were lucky as apposed to good in some of our possession the first time against Arkansas. This should be a good game to try to correct some of those things.

This is a disappointing loss because we just needed one more defensive stop. Arkansas had its back against the wall and they came through.

They've already asked me to come back to Panama, ... I had an old fan from Arkansas call me this weekend and ask me if my appetite (to coach) was wet again after this. I told him that my appetite for that was always wet ... it's just ya'll (in Arkansas) put a stop to it for a while.

They used to call Arkansas 'the land of opportunity,' and black people said, 'Opportunity for whom? Today, we can say 'opportunity for all,' and Arkansas can be proud of this moment.

A lot of our people ended up in Arkansas and Tennessee.

Almost all the refiners are now putting marketers on allocation east of the Rocky Mountains. Some terminals in Ohio, Tennessee, Arkansas and South Carolina are completely out of product. It's just a very precarious situation we're in.

They got half a million gallons of gasoline committed to run here, through Illinois, Kentucky, Arkansas and Missouri,

They had 4, 400 fans at that game. I expected around a 1, 000 to be there. They were loud and into the game. Everybody was very loyal to the Arkansas program.

You don't turn down the University of Arkansas for Memphis, ... You turn it down for USC, Michigan and other top schools.

They're going to be ready to go, ... which is really helpful because of the way arkansas runs the ball and they like to bring in two tights.

It was really a unique experience. I had been at the University of Pacific for my first three years coaching. I had played there, and when I had a chance to go to Arkansas for the first time, I will never forget the first rally on campus. It was crazy, and the energy was awesome, and the band was playing and the students went nuts. It was the first sense of what big-time college football was like, to be on the inside of it. That year at Arkansas was the year that really energized me about being a college coach and liking it and coaching on the big level. I got captured by it.

It's a race against time once we get back to camp with the young kids and the running backs and figuring out the quarterback situation, so it'll be very exciting. Arkansas is what's next up, and we're aware of it.

For all the tornadoes Arkansas has, and the ones that have hit around Little Rock, we never had one just basically come down Main Street,

It's also in our favor that Arkansas and Vanderbilt have tougher schedules.

It means a lot. I'm starting to get letters from Arkansas and Coach Nutt is up here. Arkansas, Arkansas State, Ole Miss and Indiana are schools I'm interested in. Most of my films are at free safety, but I plan to go to camp at Arkansas to show them I can play linebacker.

It's hard to win on the road when it's 42-20 (Arkansas' favor) in free throws shot. That's a big discrepancy. But Arkansas made only 5 of 12 free throws in the first half and that kept us in it.

Even when we had a double-digit lead, it felt like we were a little sloppy. We weren't playing to the best of our ability and it came back to haunt us. But give Arkansas credit. It was a matter of Arkansas wanting it more.

Thats a drop in the bucket compared to what the state government and the people of Arkansas have put into helping the victims of the hurricane.

Everyone in business is going to tell you that competition is good for business. It?s without a doubt that those banks are choosing to locate here for a reason. What their market studies are saying is, there?s enough banking interest still in northwest Arkansas to ? pardon the pun ? spread the wealth.

It's been unfortunate for them. They lost a few close games, but I don't look at a team as a good team or a bad team based on two or three points that could have gone either way. I've always thought Arkansas was as good and as talented a team as there is in the league.

It was not a surprise. Arkansas is an arena we're familiar with and these athletes are familiar with.

It was a great, great college basketball game. Both teams had a chance to win. I think Arkansas is as talented as any team in the league. They have more experience, much more size and physicality than we do.

It was a back-and-forth basketball game. Both teams had a chance to win, but give Arkansas credit. They were able to find a way to come out with a victory.

They'll be a typical North Arkansas team, well-coached and fundamentally sound. I did hear they have a 5-7 guard who can really shoot the eyes out of it.

It was heartbreaking to see people, pregnant women, elderly in wheelchairs, in those cramped, squalid conditions without food, water and toilets. We had no problems from the people at the convention center and that's more people than are in most Arkansas towns.

They've played our offense in the past and they'll also have a game to see exactly what we're doing, and maybe Arkansas State didn't. They maybe guessed on a few things based on reading articles.

The second half was a back-and-forth basketball game. Give Arkansas credit. They made some plays and their kids played hard and I thought it was a great college basketball game that both teams had a chance to win at times.

I want to see a fairer allocation of road dollars coming to northwest Arkansas from Little Rock. I have every intention of being a loud and persistent voice for northwest Arkansas when dealing with the majority House leadership.

Not only is he an Arkansas figure, but he's a national and international figure. There are significant tributes to him across the country and the world.

The need is critical here as it is pretty much everywhere. Domestic violence cases are on the rise. We serve 1,100 to 1,200 people a year ... in four counties in Arkansas and two in Texas.

Against Arkansas State, it was the first time our players stepped on the playing field to competitively play our new system. I'm pleased with the way the players adjusted to playing the different positions. Our defense was solid and the offense created lots of scoring opportunities.

Arkansas will have a lot of emotion on Senior Night, so we better have some poise.

Arkansas was a really good team when they came in here and played us in Tuscaloosa earlier this year and they've only gotten better. But I believe we are a different team now, too. We've grown and we've gotten a little bit better.

Arkansas taxpayers, firemen, nurses, teachers, police officers, and other public servants are the ones who are really going to be paying the price of this tax - not the oil companies. State employees will see the value of their funds reduced and taxpayers will be left to make up the losses.

Arkansas played well on defense. It wasn't one person who stopped us. Their zone was very effective.

Arkansas is the only state in the country that has a Constitutional amendment limiting interest to 17 percent.

Arkansas is the leading state when it comes to quality standards. You look across the board and you have to say that if Arkansas was a hit record, it is moving up the charts quickly.

Arkansas is one of the most talented teams in the country and playing really good basketball right now. It's hard to imagine (Arkansas and Alabama) having to fight their ways in as well as they're playing.

Arkansas is a very good team and very aggressive. We knew we had to be aggressive right back. We had to take advantage of every opportunity to strike at them.

Arkansas is a top-notch program with real good people heading it up. We've broken bread with those guys and I can't say enough good things about them. I think Arkansas has a great chance of getting this done. I've watched four or five of their games this year and I think it would be a great match.

Arkansas he might do some damage to us, ... presence on the stage just diminishes Gore.

Arkansas fans are great fans. It's a shame because you have two really great teams playing against each other and it wasn't a sellout because of the weather in the area.

Arkansas came out like they were hungry, and it was their last game. I guess we let the Florida game get to us, because we just weren't playing like we usually play, like we've got something to prove. We've got to get that back.

Their confidence factor is at a high level because they've won so many games as of late. They beat South Alabama and knocked both Arkansas teams out of byes. Not to mention they've got seven players and three starters back from an NCAA Tournament team.

Their coach at the time who is at Central Arkansas now ran off the floor and didn't shake anyone's hand. And then a couple of their players were kind of acting out when they were shaking hands with our guys. Then some of them came out about 15 minutes after the game and were doing the same thing to our fans.

The investigation into these incidents remains open and active and there will be no further release of information from the Arkansas State Police relating to the shooting incident. Further inquiries should be directed to the 14th Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney's Office.

If Mr. Reed or Mr. Hutchinson wants to pick this fight, they should tell us which murderer or rapist they would let out of prison, which Arkansas child shouldn't be educated and which Arkansas senior should be thrown out of the nursing home.

I'm very impressed by McFadden. He's a big guy who runs fast. They have an experienced offensive line. Year in and year out, Arkansas has the biggest, most physical line we face.

I'm hoping it's in Little Rock. If not in Little Rock, somewhere close, so my Arkansas fans can come.

If you look in sports history, there's clubs that's had some clubs' number. They've had our number for sure. We've played a couple games well there at Arkansas and won but here we haven't been able to put anything together.

In the fourth quarter, we found ways to lose. Now, we find ways to win. The win at Arkansas gave us momentum, and we built on it.

I really think the race before (an allowance victory) was when he the light bulb went on, where he actually showed a middle-move acceleration, like he was getting it all figured out. I said six weeks ago I didn't feel like I could get to a mile and an eighth fast enough. Our main goal is still the Arkansas Derby and beyond.

In years past, cities reviewed those plans every 10 to 15 years. If we waited that long now, the way Northwest Arkansas is growing, it would be like redrawing a whole new map.

Theres a woman in Arkansas that's such a bad cook, that a swarm of flies got together and repaired her screen door.

If God created a football team, Pastor Hawkins would be the quarterback. When he was on God?s field, he always ran the play the coach told him to. Northwest Arkansas lost a difference-maker when Pastor Hawkins went home. I lost a good friend.

If I had to leave Vermont in February, there's no place I'd rather be than mucking around a swamp in Arkansas searching for these birds.

I'd say Arkansas is every bit as good as Illinois, the best team we've played. Illinois is a little more savvy, but Arkansas is as athletic, or more athletic than Illinois.

I'd think that any federal property in Arkansas that's high and dry will be in use before this is over, but that's a guess.

I am very impressed with what I have seen here. I could not imagine arriving in northwest Arkansas to see a facility with the magnitude, with the beauty, and with the arrangement of whatever is in there that goes beyond the imagination.

He's obviously a nice colt. But I can't see them having him all cranked up to win. Their objective is the Arkansas Derby and the Kentucky Derby, so I think they're using it for what it is a prep.

How much more can you ask of your offense? This was even more than we could have pictured. Arkansas always played such aggressive pass defense, we didn't think it would happen like this.

Im from Dallas. My whole family is based in Texas and Mississippi and Arkansas, spread throughout most of the South.

I still believe in Hope - mostly because there's no such place as Fingers Crossed, Arkansas.

I know this is kind of corny, but we thought about renewing our vows again because I think my mom would really love it if we did that in Arkansas, where I came from.

The main thing I want to emphasize the most about Arkansas is their speed. They are fast. They've got to be the fastest team from top to bottom that we'll face. I don't think they have anybody who can't run. It's a little intimidating to watch them on film and see them run the way they do.

These guys have been bringing dope in from Mexico for a while. They have been one of the main distribution hubs in northwest Arkansas for pot.

This is a great opportunity for Denise and Kelly. Both have worked extremely hard since they came to Arkansas and this is a reward for that hard work. I really believe that they have an opportunity to make the World Cross Country team and travel to Japan in April. Currently we are preparing for the SEC Indoor Championships and are training to be prepared for that meet, but this race couldn't come at a better time.

Young, gay and stuck in Arkansas? Sounds like a horror flick.

The heyday was Reconstruction, really. And then, starting about 1890, Arkansas imposed statutes that forced black people out of public office and made it impossible to vote -- Jim Crow laws -- and I just started to be amazed.

The Coliseum is a historical place. Hopefully, it will be a historical night for Arkansas when we play there.

All of this is geared toward providing an education system in Arkansas from top to bottom that is not merely adequate but excellent.
