Where are you from?
I grew up in Little Rock, where I attended Catholic High School. Go Rockets!

Where are you now?
I currently live in sunny Oakland, California with my wife and two sons, Nolan and Eddie.*

Favorite Razorback memories?
In person: Watching the Hogs defeat #1 and undefeated North Carolina 65-64 on February 12, 1984 in Pine Bluff. I recall yelling insults at a young Michael Jordan from the stands (not that he could hear me) and storming the court afterwards (during which time my dad was captured walking around in a stunned and happy daze on national TV…exciting stuff).
On TV: so much to choose from, but it’s gotta be the 1994 National Championship. Thank you Corliss, Scotty, Corey and crew.

Favorite Razorbacks?
Basketball: Corliss Williamson, Alvin Robertson, Dwight Stewart, Charles Ballantine, Lenzie Howell, Darrell Hawkins, Corey Beck, Scotty Thurman and about two dozen more.
Football: Quinn Grovey, Darren McFadden, Clint Stoerner, James Rouse, JuJu Harshaw, Derek Russell, Gary Anderson.

*ok, those aren’t their real names

Where are you from?
Born and raised in Little Rock. Graduated from Central High School.

Where are you now?
I live in Atlanta. I have a weakness for places with mind-numbing traffic and terrible air quality.

Favorite Razorback memories?
In person: the defeat of North Carolina in 1984 in Pine Bluff and the football team’s 1992 upset of undefeated Tennessee in Knoxville (this was the same team that weeks earlier had lost its season opener to The Citadel, prompting Frank Broyles to fire head coach Jack Crowe). On TV: U.S. Reed’s halfcourt buzzer beater to beat Louisville in the 1981 NCAA Tournament; the 1994 national championship victory over Duke; and the 2000 Cotton Bowl smashing of Texas.

Favorite Razorbacks?
Basketball (for brevity’s sake, here’s the short version): U.S. Reed, Darrell Walker, Alvin Robertson, Lee Mayberry, Corey Beck, Corliss Williamson, Scotty Thurman and Dwight Stewart. Football: Derek Russell, Gary Anderson, Quinn Grovey, Anthony Lucas and Steve Atwater.
