A tribute to Paul Eells

A man who got his start in Iowa doing radio shows,Paul Eells quickly found himself in front of the camera.

Paul Eells was originally from Iowa but later moved to Nashville, Tennessee before living the rest of his life in central Arkansas. During his ten-year stay in Nashville, he was Sports Director at WSM-TV, later WSMV-TV ,and Voice of the Vanderbilt Commodores on radio. In 1978, he moved to central Arkansas to become sports director at KATV in Little Rock.-Wikipedia

He came to Arkansas and fell in love with state just as much as we love him.He was the VOICE of the razorbacks.You could see the excitement and the joy in his facial expressions when he talked about the hogs.

I remember growing up and the razorbacks would be playing.I would turn on the television,turn the volume down and turn the radio up.I would get an adrenaline rush everytime he said "Oh my,he broke free ......30,20,10,5 TOUCHDOWN ARKANSAS!!!He brought excitement to the game and the whole Razorback program.

I,for one,truly miss Paul Eells.So as one last tribute to a great man and an icon-lets give him one last Woooooooooooooooo PIG SOOIE!

WIn, Lose or Draw!!!

My name is Jamie and I am a die hard Arkansas Razorback fan.I have been cheering them on since I was in diapers.I love the hogs whether they go all the way or lose every game.This blog will be a testament to that fact.I will throughtout the lifetime of this blog discuss seasons,players, the coaches and maybe throw a little sentimentality into the mix.

But it doesnt just end at the hogs.I may also write on other topics,excluding politics and religion.For example,I may write about my favorite local highschool football games-or about my wife and kids.You never know till you show up, what is going through this mind of mine.

I do have a few rules-Feel free to leave comments but keep 'em clean.My opinions and your opinions are just that-opinions and nothing more.You can voice yours,I can voice mine-we can agree or we can agree to disagree,just keep it clean.

Looking forward to this years seasons....See you at the game!
