A Much-Needed Diversion

On a day when the stock market made even the Hogs’ last two games seem like wild successes by comparison, it feels like time for a completely random diversion. With that in mind, your friends at Razorback Expats would like you to climb off that ledge for a moment and enjoy this excellent recap of the 1989 win over Heisman winner Andre Ware and the Houston Cougars.

Not only is it high on my personal list of great Razorback games (I was fortunate to watch it from the War Memorial north end zone), no less of an expert than James Rouse cited it as his favorite in our recent Q&A. So, sit back, forget your troubles and watch Rouse, Quinn Grovey, Derek Russell and company work their magic:

thanks. that was infinitely more fun than sitting thru the first half in a stadium that made hell seem chilly. watching these highlights made me feel like going to wendy’s ‘cept there’s not one across the street here. maybe this could become the next great weekly post. a previous years’ great game highlights instead of the “highlights” we’ll undoubtedly be left with from here on out. thinking about the ole miss and tulsa games makes me shudder as if i’m smelling a freshly opened bourbon bottle, or remembering one too many tequila shots the next afternoon. i’m scared. a lot by florida, not much by auburn, and then katy bar the door. it’s gonna get ugly if we’ve already won our two games for the season.

Hey, guys, thanks for the victorious stroll down memory lane there. I think we are going to have to do a lot of strolling this year! I wouldn’t mind seeing more of these types of posts as the seasons slogs on. Thanks again.
