If you were building a Mount Rushmore of important figures in Arkansas football history, there's no doubt that Frank Broyles would be on there. But right there with him would be Harold Horton. Horton's ties to the Razorbacks—and the state of Arkansas—run deep. He was part of three Southwest Conference championship teams in the early ‘60s under Frank Broyles, who then hired him as an assistant coach—a position he would hold for 13 years. After an unceremonious end to his time as a Razorback assistant and two years in the business sector, Horton was hired as the head coach at Central Arkansas, where he would win two NAIA national championships in eight seasons. He would return to Arkansas in 1990, working in football operations, before eventually serving as the president of the Razorback Foundation. All told, Horton had a major impact on the Hog football program for nearly 40 years. In this episode, Hogs+ senior contributor Clay Henry tells the story of Razorback great Harold Horton, with help from former Arkansas players and coaches like Tim Horton, Louis Campbell and Mike Boschetti.

FROM THE VAULT Over thirty years ago, something happened that would change the course of Arkansas athletics forever—the Razorbacks left the Southwest Conference for the SEC. It's a move that has been a boon for the Razorbacks—not only did they join what's become the best conference in collegiate athletics, but the financial benefits have allowed Arkansas to be nationally competitive with some of the best facilities in the country. But the move didn't happen overnight. It took thought, planning and vision from legendary Razorback athletic director Frank Broyles. Without him, who knows where Arkansas might've ended up? So how did everything come together? What were those meetings between Arkansas and the SEC like? And what made the Razorbacks attractive to a league looking to expand? In this episode, former SEC commissioner Roy Kramer takes us back to how it all happened… with the help of archived audio from the late Frank Broyles. -------- The full video versions of your favorite Hog Pods, including behind-the-scenes stories and insights, are available exclusively on HogsPlus.com Follow us on social media!

Ep 339 | Aired 3/10/2023 | Originally Aired 1/13/2021 My guest today on Up In Your Business with Kerry McCoy is one of the few men I know that really looks good in a puka shell necklace, the well-known and former Razorback football player, David Bazzel. David played linebacker for the University of Arkansas in the 1984 season and had a total of 113 tackles before he was sidelined with shoulder and back injuries. But his contribution to the sport did not stop there. David founded the nationally renowned Broyles Award that honors the best assistant coaches in college football. He is also a founding member of the popular Touchdown Club that during the football season has a weekly luncheon with guest speakers in Little Rock, Arkansas. In addition, what I found most interesting is that the “Battle for the Boot,” a football rivalry between Louisiana and Arkansas, is the brainchild of David! These days you can hear “The Bazz” weekday mornings on 103.7 The Buzz and on TV during the Razorback football season as a pre-game host and commentator. Listen to hear David's take on Razorback football, hear his story of hard work and learn about his relationship with the late Athletic Director, Frank Broyles and what he learned.

On this week's interview edition of The Flagship Podcast, we talk to CBS college football analyst Houston Nutt, who was the head coach at Arkansas the last time Texas played the Razorbacks in Fayetteville (in 2004). It's now official Texas and Arkansas will kick off on Sept. 11 in Fayetteville at 6 pm CT, so who better to give perspective on what that game will mean to Razorbacks' fans than Nutt? Hint: Nutt said it would be Arkansas fans' "Super Bowl." Nutt grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas, going to Texas-Arkansas games with his father and three other brothers. He talks about how he got caught up in his childhood fandom when he did the Horns down following a Cotton Bowl victory over Texas capping the 1999 season - and the backlash he received from Mack Brown. Nutt talks about his memories of that 2004 game between Texas and Arkansas, a game in which the then-No. 7 Longhorns escaped with a 22-20 victory over an unranked UA team. Nutt also provides some interesting observations of Mack Brown that were picked up when Nutt, Brown and other high-profile college head coaches were part of a tour of the Middle East in 2009 in support of U.S. troops. Those observations lead Nutt to talk about the challenges Steve Sarkisian now faces as the head coach at Texas. Nutt, an offensive-minded head coach who called his own plays while at Arkansas and Ole Miss, comments on what he likes about Sarkisian's offense. Nutt also provides a scouting report on the 2021 Razorbacks. As the last recruit ever signed by former Arkansas coach Frank Broyles (before Nutt ultimately transferred to Oklahoma State), Nutt talks about the history of the Texas-Arkansas rivalry and his memories of Broyles taking on former Texas coach Darrell Royal.

What happened to Chad Morris? How did Arkansas football become the butt of jokes that used to be reserved for Kansas and, lately, UCLA? This was the program that Frank Broyles built. The 1964 national champions. The place that turned Lou Holtz back into a name. The home of the 10-1 1977 Razorbacks who thwarted Oklahoma’s chance at a national title with a 31-6 victory in the Orange Bowl. The university that gave us Jerry Jones, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer. How did the Razorbacks fall so far?

We sat down with Hafield to reflect on his career—beginning with whether there is any controversy to Arkansas' football national championship in 1964 (2:40)?

Alabama's second half romp can be attributed to the 2018 Heisman Trophy winner and the Frank Broyles recipient. Is there rhyme or reason to the talk of ditching the "Gus Bus"? Seriously, who is the only coach in the SEC to have defeated Alabama? Twice? Now, is UGA better than they were a year ago? Is Alabama? Think about all these questions and listen. Matty A walked out on his Alabama/ Auburn party, Matty C flew solo, again.
Hunter Yuracheck, Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics at University of Arkansas, discusses his unique situation of being hired less than 24 hours before the new football coach was named.
