FAYETTEVILLE — There are always impressive “legends” when the SEC introduces a former star from every school at the SEC Tournament. No offense to anyone else, but Arkansas will bring in the legend of legends next week in St. Louis.
I'm talking about ability and academics. The SEC will honor Dr. Pookie.
That's what journalism professor Gerald Jordan calls Jonathon Modica. Never mind that the Smackover native hasn't really been Pookie for the last decade. He's moved on to the corporate world, now at Adobe's corporate office in San Jose, Calif., the senior human resources business partner for the massive Silicon Valley software company.
