FAYETTEVILLE — Note the dateline on this column. I’m not writing from anywhere in Tennessee on the eve of the Arkansas football team’s 6 p.m. game against Vanderbilt in Nashville.
This will be, best I can remember, the first Razorback football game I have not attended in person since I was hired by Wally Hall at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in the summer of 2007 to cover what would be Houston Nutt’s final season as the Head Hog.
