OMAHA, Neb. — Sitting at Village Inn while eating breakfast with his father on Monday, Arkansas radio man Phil Elson wrote down some thoughts about what he would say if the Razorbacks won Game 3 of their super regional against Ole Miss that afternoon.
Elson scripted 54 words in all, mostly thoughts on Arkansas fans coming to Omaha en masse again.
But there were three words that stuck with Elson's listeners most: whole damn thing.
More accurately, Elson told his audience, "This time we're coming for the whole damn thing."
Elson's call has become somewhat of a rallying cry as Arkansas returns to TD Ameritrade Park 50 weeks after its most gut-wrenching defeat on the same field.
