Who you got? First-round playoff games show the reason coaches place a priority in winning enough in conference play to begin the postseason at home. nwaonline.com/news/2024/nov/…

RIP to Bob Holt, an amazing sports reporter for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Always a pleasure to work with and a true legend in our community.

Bob Holt is like a brother to me and I love him. For 17 years we went to road games together across the USA. No one ever has an unkind word to say about Bob. I’m so heartbroken. I love you brother. You cannot meet a kinder, gentler soul. Good night, Bob.

BOB HOLT I had been without electricity at my house for three or four days during the ice storm that slammed Northwest Arkansas in 2009 when I decided to venture out. nwaonline.com/news/2024/dec/…

Bob Holt stood above the fray in a sports journalism and coaching business that includes plenty of good people but with a few loudmouths, egomaniacs, and jerks. wholehogsports.com/news/2024/dec/…

Thanks for the memories Holiday traffic, the transfer portal, and Christmas music sung by rappers has left me more irritable than usual during this joyous time of year. nwaonline.com/news/2024/dec/…

Austin Reaves was coming off Wichita State's bench 6 years ago Tonight he goes 26-10-10 with a game winner (as LeBron James defers to him) in a primetime NBA Christmas night game over Steph Curry and the Warriors. Such a great story and such a fun hooper.

Don't tell me momentum is imaginary. Navy rallied from 14 points down to beat Oklahoma 21-20. Everything changed after OU failed on 4th-and-1 with QB 7 yards deep in shotgun. Aren't big, bad O-linemen in SEC supposed to overpower non-conference opponents? Asking for OU fans.
