Have you hugged a WWII veteran today?

Today is the anniversary of "D Day", which occurred on June 6th 1944.

Have you hugged a WWII veteran today? They are getting harder to find, but if you see one tell them thank you. Thank you Cecil Wilson a.k.a "pop" (grandfather).

The Battle of Normandy was fought in 1944 between Nazi Germany in Western Europe and the invading Allied forces as part of the larger conflict of World War II. Operation Overlord was the codename for the Allied invasion of northwest Europe, which began on June 6, 1944, and ended on August 19, 1944, when the Allies crossed the River Seine. Over sixty years later, the Normandy invasion still remains the largest seaborne invasion in history, involving almost three million troops crossing the English Channel from England to Normandy. Operation Neptune was the codename given to the initial assault phase of Operation Overlord; its mission, to gain a foothold on the continent, started on June 6, 1944 (most commonly known by the name D-Day) and ended on June 30, 1944.

SEC Tourney Time

Arkansas really needs to win the SEC tournament in order to advance to the NCAA. Many experts claim that Arkansas can get to the tourney by just getting to the championship game. I'm not so sure. With a 7-9 conference record, there are many teams ahead of Arkansas in the SEC. If Arkansas fails to make the tournament, Stan Heath will likely be fired. I'm interested to see what the Hogs can do, but I don't have my hopes up.

Mean 'ole Gus

The Razorback Nation has been divided since Gus (the offensive coordinator) left for Tulsa after one season with the Hogs. Mitch Mustain quit the team the day after Gus left. I think Mitch is a big baby, but to each his own. He really didn't look that impressive this season anyway.

Here is a funny pic of Nutt (head coach) on Frank's shoulders (athletic director).

Hogs Win SEC Western Division!!!

For the fourth time since joining the SEC in 1992, Arkansas’ football team has won the West after being picked to finish in the division’s lower half. The Razorbacks clinched the SEC West title outright by beating Mississippi State 28-14 on Saturday to improve to 10-1 overall and 7-0 in the conference. State stuffed the run most of the day, but McFadden still hurt them. He had a 100 yard kick off return for a touchdown, and some key runs in the fourth quarter. Go Hogs Go!!!

McFadden ran all over the Vols on Saturday as the hogs beat them 31-14 in

front of a rowdy crowd and ESPN GameDay. ESPN GameDay made their first

visit ever to Fayetteville, AR. Hogs are now ranked 5th in the AP poll and 7th

in the BCS. They are still undefeated in the SEC and have a record of 9-1.

McFadden's stock in the Heisman race definetley increased after

the victory.
