I felt for Bret Bielema this week. He coughed his way through a speech at the Baxter County Razorback Club in Mountain Home. He could only finish with the assistance of a cough drop.
It's been like that for me the last four weeks. I've been sick ever since leaving Charlotte, N.C. Some might argue it was caused by the second half of the Belk Bowl loss to Virginia Tech.
I have another theory: climate change.
I see green stuff in my backyard. So all of my coughing and sneezing could be from allergies.
There was even more grass and weeds when I got to a January duck hunting camp with college roommates, Conway's Leo Crafton and Hal Hunnicutt.
