MEMPHIS — Christmas will look different this year for the Arkansas football team.
The Razorbacks (6-6) arrived in Memphis late Monday afternoon and will stay in town all week leading up to Friday’s matchup against Texas Tech (8-4) at the Liberty Bowl.
Arkansas practiced Tuesday morning at Rhodes College. After practice the team had a 7 1/2-hour window with no organized activities, then went to Dave & Buster’s for a Christmas Eve team welcome party.
And as for Christmas Day?
“Well, I think we're going to [steakhouse] Texas de Brazil,” Arkansas fifth-year coach Sam Pittman said with a grin Monday.
