Don't bother looking for a Wal-Mart in the south Arkansas town of Warren. To find one of those you have to drive 20 or so miles east to Monticello. Same thing with a local movie theater. Warren doesn't have one of those either. Know what the South Arkansas town of 6,000 does have? A history of producing great college wide receivers and two of the top 150 draft picks in the recent NFL Draft. Former Arkansas Razorbacks and Warren teammates Jarius Wright and Greg Childs were fourth-round picks by the Minnesota Vikings, further establishing Warren's tradition as a hotbed for wide receiver talent in Arkansas. read more >

Why The Red Team Won: Did you glance at the rosters before kickoff? Arkansas coaches loaded the Red team with starters from the offense and defense, effectively ending the game before it began. Quarterback Tyler Wilson led the Red team to a 37-0 halftime lead in completing 75.6 percent of his passes. Red receiver Cobi Hamilton had 11 catches for 156 yards to lead all receivers and tight end Chris Gragg had 130 yards receiving and two touchdowns on nine catches. Red offensive possessions resulted in 698 yards of total offense. Arkansas' first-team defense held the White squad scoreless and allowed only 126 yards of total offense. read more >

In maybe the most tumultuous time in Hog football history — with Bobby Petrino suddenly no longer guiding the program and who-knows-who taking over — a crowd of 45,250 fans watched Wilson, Mitchel and the first-team Razorbacks put on a dominating offensive and defensive performance, annihilating the backups 65-0. read more >

Arkansas' football recruiting understandably suffered a setback when Bobby Petrino was fired as head coach 10 days ago, but the current staff hasn't quit recruiting. On Tuesday, Fort Smith Southside tight end John Hunton, 6-4, 245, was at Arkansas on an unofficial visit.
