Reaching deep into my laptop bag in the dark of a parking garage, I fumbled to find a small reporter’s notebook that I could stuff in my back pocket as I headed to the first fully open practice of spring football.
The one I pulled out had some open pages, if I wrote from the back. It would do for practice and some brief meetings afterward with a couple of players followed by Arkansas coach Chad Morris.
Ironically, it was the notebook from the last game of the season, a 38-0 loss to Missouri that was the finale for a 2-10 season, the worst in Arkansas history in most minds.
