FAYETTEVILLE – It didn’t long for the Natural State to clamor for football.
One of the most successful calendar years in University of Arkansas athletics history finished with a bang after the Razorbacks made the College World Series earlier this month. Before that, the men’s track team finished third in the country at the NCAA Championships, the women finished fourth in the nation. Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams played two games in the NCAA Tournament. And the football team bounced back from its winless Southeastern Conference season the year before to make a bowl and beat Texas.
