AP: Razorbacks Look To Build Case For NCAA Tournament With Road Victory At LSU - 2012-02-03 20:49

Razorbacks And Red Wolves Among Notable Names Particpating In All-Star Football At War Memorial - 2012-02-03 15:23

Jim Harris: Petrino, Staff Preach the Hog Gospel to Recruiting-Loving Fans - 2012-02-03 15:18
In the past three years the Little Rock Razorback Club has moved its “Signing Day in the Rock” spectacular from one large ballroom, to a bigger one, and now to Verizon Arena, where Thursday night's visit by Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino and his staff turned into part rock show/part religious revival. The religion, of course, is Razorback football, where more than 1,200 folks paid the price of a Southeastern Conference football ticket in Little Rock's War Memorial Stadium, $65, to hear Petrino and the other coaches go into full detail — with video — of the latest, 24-man signing class. The arena darkened and AC/DC's “Hell's Bells” rang in the assistant coaches to the main stage, each one entering from the opposite side to the stage and almost sprinting down the middle aisle where “Voice of the Razorbacks” Chuck Barrett welcomed them in. Then came Bobby Petrino's rock-star entrance, complete with a fog machine.

Nolan Richardson has often described his teams as being a family. It's a description he's used frequently in the past and again in a recent radio interview.

Members of the squad that went 31-3 with a 76-72 championship victory against Duke are among this year's class of honorees.

Bahn: LSU's Miles, Razorbacks' Petrino Provide Signing Day Contrast In Handling A Loss - 2012-02-03 11:47
As we were reminded again this week by a pair of SEC coaches who get paid millions not to lose, there is a right way and wrong way to handle not getting what you want. You can handle it like Bobby Petrino did or you can (mis)handle it like LSU's Les Miles.

Big Nights From Townsel, Sterrenberg Lead Red Wolves Past Louisiana-Monroe - 2012-02-03 00:00
