Somewhere, Chief Illiniwek Is Shedding A Single Tear
The difference between us and ASU? We might beat Troy.
Arkansas State officials met Monday, and voted for a resolution to change their mascot from the Indians. It appears that Arkansas’ red-headed stepchild just got a little more pathetic.
The Arkansas State University Mascot Review Committee met Monday and voted unanimously to adopt a resolution to recommend retiring the university’s mascot. The committee’s review was initiated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s ruling of August, 2005, on the use of Native American imagery by member institutions. Jim Pickens, chair of the committee, stated that in adopting the resolution, the committee has completed phase I of its charge.
Just so you know, State fans, consolidation is out of the question. Also, Razorbacks is taken.
McFadden garners top rating of 99 on EA Sports NCAA 08 Football
While McFadden’s name is well known now, his popularity will only explode in July when EA Sports’ NCAA Football 2008 video game becomes available. According to an advance preview of the game, McFadden (or the Razorbacks’ No. 5 ) is a star among stars in the game. He is the highest-rated player with a mark of 99 out of 100.
To show how special McFadden is in the minds of the EA Sports, the company’s game designers actually added the Wildcat package to the Razorbacks’ on-screen offensive arsenal. The addition will allow gamers to befuddle opponents with single-wing quarterback play just like the Hogs did to Tennessee in the Razorbacks rousing 31-14 victory over the Vols last November.

Hog Fan Poll results are mixed.
The University of Arkansas found out a little more about what fans thought about the football program. Searcy-native Roger Wooley released the results of a Hog Fan Poll.
Wooley hired a political polling company to survey four district across Arkansas asking them questions about the Mitch Mustain email controversy and the investigation of those emails.
In northwest Arkansas 53 percent of avid fans polled said they did not want an investigation to continue over the emails. Occasional fans answered that they had no opinion on the matter by 76 percent.
As for whether or not avid fans were satisfied with head coach Houston Nutt, 47 percent said they were somewhat satisfied and 19 percent were very dissatisfied. Wooley said that may be because the average fan was being overlooked by the program.
"It seems to the average fan like me who can't go and hang out in the skyboxes," said Wooley. "It seems like we're being disrespected or ignored like our opinion doesn't count. When you hear that there's only five percent of us that are upset and we all know that's not true and I think in order for the university to change course a bit the should consider looking harder at the problem."
He went on to say that the university should respect the fact that there are a lot more people upset than realized.
In response to the poll, the university's Sports Information Director Kevin Trainor sent 5NEWS this statement.
"It only reaffirms our belief that people all over the state of Arkansas are passionate about the Razorbacks. We appreciate our fans and value their feedback and support. We are looking forward to another outstanding year of Razorback athletics."

The Other Side of the Story
Ealier 5Sports posted a story on our blog titled "Is John Daly a bad example for Arkansas?" One poster said he/she couldn't make an assumption on the matter until he/she heard the other side of the story. Well here's the other side of the story as 5Sports knows it.
John Daly's wife claims that he made up that story about her cutting him with a steak knife last week. She said he was covering up for an assault on her. Daly, who showed up for the second round of the Stanford St. Jude Championships Friday, June 8th, had scratches on his face from an apparent attack by his wife.
PGA Tour officials added extra security for Daly after he told police that his wife had attacked him that morning. Sheree Daly has filed court papers asking for a restraining order against Daly as well as use of their home in Memphis and financial support for her and her two children.
Daly told a Memphis newspaper that his wife was lying but he seemed to indicated that he had no plans to file charges against her.
So who's story do you believe? Sounds like another big mess that will overshadow "Big Johns" accomplishments on the golf course once again.

Is John Daly a bad example for Arkansas?
More problems have plagued former Arkansas Razorback John Daly. After his first round of play in the Stanford St. Jude Championship, Daly finished tied for eighth; a promising beginning in the tournament for the flailing golfer. But it was his problems off the course that have made headlines.
Daly reportedly told authorities that this wife attacked him with a steak knife Friday. Daly has not filed charges and his agent Bud Martin said “what happened speaks for itself.”
Daly showed up for round two with marks on his face from the apparent attack then began to sink lower and lower on the scoreboard.
He received a sponsor’s exemption to play in the tournament in Memphis because of the home crowd he was expected to draw to the championship. He finished the third round 18 shots off the leader and over nine strokes.
The golfer who is on the verge of losing his players card called the Shelby County sheriff’s department early Friday morning and said he was the “victim of an assault by my wife.” Sherrie Daly and the couple’s children were not there when deputies arrived at the home and officials searched the neighborhood but could not find her or the knife that the former Hog claimed she used in the attack.
The incident has become just one more issue to add to the long list of situations that Daly has faced.
He has been in alcohol rehab twice, had substantial gambling losses, trashed hotels rooms and went through suspensions. All of these things have become a more well-known feature to his resume over his 1991 PGA Championship and his 1995 British Open victory.

McGowan receives release from Hogs
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Arkansas reserve forward Cyrus McGowan is leaving the Razorbacks after two seasons.
Cyrus McGowan has received a scholarship release from Arkansas, making him eligible to receive a scholarship immediately at his next school.
McGowan's mother, Florence McGowan, said the player wanted to find more playing time and would have stayed if he was allowed to redshirt the next season. Redshirting would have allowed him to sit out while this year's seniors play and would have given him time to play the following two seasons.
McGowan's mother said coach John Pelphrey told her son that sitting out the coming season was not an option. McGowan never received significant playing time at Arkansas, in part because the 6-foot-9 player was in the team's most populated position.
McGowan is the third player to transfer since Pelphrey was hired, all of them reserves. Sean McCurdy of Westport, Conn., went to William & Mary. Preston Cranford of Heber Springs went to Mid-America Christian University in Oklahoma City.

Site Header updated with new design
I updated the header graphic for the site today. An update was needed since the original logo had Stan Heath in the logo. Since he is no longer coach at Arkansas anymore, I needed to either replace his picture with John Pelphrey or go another route with header and not include any coaches. The coaching landscape is always changing, so I didn't want to change this graphic each time there was a coaching change. I decided to go with a more generic sports theme. The current design is definitely football themed. I hope to have other versions for some of the other sports soon.
I also plan on doing a bigger site upgrade soon to a newer version to add some new features and capabilities to the site. Keep checking out the site for many new great additions.
As always don't forget to Call The Hogs this year!
