I have hundreds of those memories. Love every one of them
Been playing them back in my mind countless times the past few days.
He’s ready and needs to be away from me now. It was hard enough on him that I was his select BB Coach… but also one of his HS football coaches.
I know he is grateful… but I also know he is so happy to be on his own.
I’m not even texting or calling him yet. Going to let him do it on his own time.
But throughout the day…I still look at Life360 just to see what he’s doing.😁
Hey @texdawg , was your boy close with that Arkansas recruit that died? Dion Stutts was his name. Tragic story :(
Very tragic story. Sounds like an awesome kid.
But my son didn’t know him.
He’s finishing his third week of school and football but never runs into any of the prospects or current recruits.
By I know the Dline Coach really well and he is taking this pretty hard
@texdawg,
This whole story is great. Thanks for giving us such a great inside look. Congratulations to Arkansas for including your son.
The Razorbacks play well enough to beat us on a very good day for them unless we bring our A Game.
Unless we're playing 'em I almost always cheer for the Arkansas. Years ago I got a Razorbacks cap from the bookstore in Fayetteville. I'm a fan.
Go, Dawgs!
I agree, Arkansas has the Pitt Boss and now Tex’s boy!!! That’s two great reasons for me to pull for them when they aren’t playing the Dawgs. Go Hogs!!!
And of course Go Dawgs!!!
Thank you. Pretty amazing how hard those players work. He gets to the facility early in the morning and doesn’t get home until late in the afternoon.
Thank you. I’m a lifelong Dawg fan and temporary Hog fan.
But have certainly enjoyed spending time in Fayetteville
Aren't there a max # of hours they can be involved in FB activities each week - or is that only during the regular academic year?
There is a max amount of time. But there are so many things in the schedule. Mandatory breakfast, mandatory study hall, meetings, weights.
Practice is very limited. Only on the football field 2 days a week. It’s really just a 7v7 practice. And led by the players.
What a cool thread. Thanks for sharing and Congrats to your son. My daughter is a senior (incoming) in Springfield MO and has plans to attend Uof A also. I’m from Georgia and also lifelong dawgs fan. The Fayetteville area is awesome.
Great post! Interesting info that we rarely hear about in following football.
Back in 1991, I spent 3 months working on a big IT project for WalMart in Bentonville. Flew into Fayetteville back then before the NW Regional airport existed. Always wished that I could’ve seen a Razorbacks game, but my project was in the springtime. Maybe one day!
