Product Description
From the humble beginnings in 1894, to the great programs of Frank Broyles, the National Championship in 1964, and Lou Holtz's Orange Bowl victory over Oklahoma in 1978; and then to Arkansas's recent re-entry into the national rankings with bowl invitations -- the whole spectrum of Hog football is covered in this lively chronicle.

5 out of 5 stars Wooo Pig Sooie!!   February 16, 2002
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Besides the Bible (seeing it is at the top of my list), this is one of the best books I have ever read. If you have any fascination with the Arkansas Razorbacks, this is the book for you. Wonderful!!! I might have to get it out and read it again.


3 out of 5 stars Glosses over too many things   August 22, 2000
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This is a good overview of the history of the Arkansas Razorback football program. Henry glosses over many good teams, however. He focuses particularly on the mythical championship team of 1964 and leaves a lot out about the better teams of 1969, 1988 and 1989. He has also left out many lettermen from the list in the appendix.
