You need not remind the Hogs about their history of regional hosting. They are well aware.
Arkansas has had its fair share of close calls in regional play.
Reading this article certainly makes one realize just how remarkable Grambling’s run to Fayetteville has been.
Washington State is happy to be in Fayetteville, but they are already focusing on a place a few hours north.
Kansas State believes their Big XII schedule has prepared the Wildcats for the rigors the NCAA Regional.

Which Was Better--The Phenomenal Catch, Run & Fumble Recovery or the Fact Vern Lundquist Thought it Might be Ruled Incomplete After Childs Ran 60+ Yards With It? Then Again, With Those Refs, Vern Probably Wasn't as Crazy as he Sounded.
per ESPN SEC blogger Chris Low. I look for big things from Childs if he can stay healthy. He was slighted last year when he was shutout of the postseason awards, and that it just the type of thing that provides extra motivation for a guy who has already shown a wealth of talent.

While I have not been able to spend as much time on it as I would like, I have looked over the bracket and feel reasonably confident in these picks. The Road to Omaha is brutal, and it almost always yields a surprise team or two. Oddly enough, no #1 seed has won the championship in more than 10 years. That shows the growth of the game and the rapidly spreading talent levels across the country.

It’s Wal-Mart Shareholders Week. The concerts were open to the public (without dragging a Wal-Mart employee to help you get in) for the first time. Pretty exciting if you like REO Speedwagon. Shareholders Week is always a big boost to the local economy.
Benton County Judge Dave Bisbee’s trial on misdemeanor charges of hiring his own company to do county remodeling continues. Bisbee took the stand yesterday.
Mark Wahlberg feeds a meter. "Say hi to your mom."
It’s official. Fayetteville will now require paid parking in the downtown and Dickson Street districts. The only free time allowed will be from 2 a.m. and 10 a.m. Supporters of the 2 a.m. clause argued that those who are drinking on Dickson should not have to worry about their car being towed… since intoxicated people on Dickson at 2 a.m. are known for making rational decisions about their cars.
The Woodstock of the Ozarks, Wakarusa kicked off last night on Mulberry Mountain. Pretty nice lineup this year featuring a few big national names and tons of great local acts.
John Popper gets led to the wilderness of Mulberry Mountain.
Now that they are going to allow sales inside the city limits, Fayetteville decided to allow residents to shoot off fireworks inside its borders as well. But no bottle rockets.
Jon Williams picks the Stadium Debate Scab while venting about why the UofA’s stadium and arena can’t be used to attract big time music shows.
I was looking for one more story to be the perfect ending for the week and then… Honestly. He thought they were tomato plants. Be sure to watch the video.
**UPDATE**
(I figured this was pretty well known state-wide but when the Blog Hawgs Founder/Editor yells ‘jump’, I ask, ‘how high?!’)
Bentonville rising senior OL, Marcus Danenhauer committed to the UofA. Danenhauer is massive, smart, and skilled. He has started for Bentonville for two years. Bentonville does not start many sophomores. He’s good.

I know I have turned making fun of the Mississippi Coach into a cottage industry, but this is too easy. Thanks to BlogHawgs’ Nutt Rag Correspondent Brett With One T for this soon-to-be- default, stock Mississippi photo. “Nutt Rag”? Really?
