I was an Arkansas student, and I've always been a Razorback fan. So it was like a dream come true when I worked on the sports copy desk at the Arkansas Gazette and had the opportunity to read game stories by Orville Henry and Jim Bailey before they appeared on the pages of the newspaper. This book brings back great memories of my childhood and stories from before I was born. It is also great for anyone who loves college football. But it's especially entertaining for anyone who has lived in the Razorback atmosphere for even one Saturday of college football. I grew up in that atmosphere. It has a richness one cannot appreciate unless one has seen it for oneself.
