Fayetteville bids adieu to hometown boy

FAYETTEVILLE -- It's hard to fathom anyone playing more games in his hometown than Brooks Ellis.

It's even harder to fathom that Ellis will play no more football in Fayetteville after tonight. The University of Arkansas senior middle linebacker still has two SEC games and a bowl game to play, but none will be at Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville after tonight's 6 p.m game against LSU.

"It's going to be weird walking off that field for the last time," Ellis said. "We've got to make it a special one."

From starring on consecutive state championship teams at Fayetteville High School to going on four full seasons with the Razorbacks, Ellis never ceased to represent his hometown with the best of brain and brawn.
