Happy as hogs
How ‘bout them hogs? It looks like three of the parents of Springdale freshmen, including Mitch Mustain’s mom, have met with Frank Broyles. Now stay with me for a moment and let me get the complete thought out.
Since their sons made significant career decisions based upon the representation of the Head Coach, it seems perfectly reasonable to go straight to the top for an explanation of Arkansas’ offense. Of course, Arkansas should run more of a passing game, but that is difficult with two rather shaky quarterbacks. Please understand that Mitch Mustain, as far as I know, has never complained about the program in public.
The famous quote in the book came from a year ago and Mitch said exactly what most other hog fans at the time were saying, so don’t crucify him. His mom is often made out to be some kind of nut, but I think she is only guilty of having a good business head and loving her son.
So the Arkansas Razorbacks are engulfed in controversy after a 10 and 3 season while getting ready for a January 1 bowl game in Orlando. Isn’t success interesting? It is almost as painful as defeat. I hope Gus Malzahn gets to open up the play calling next season and I hope the young men stay, because Houston Nutt is not going anywhere so long as the powers that be have all the power.
