🎙 THE HOG POD

In this episode, we explore the incredible legacy of the Thurman family at the University of Arkansas. Scotty Thurman, known for his iconic shot in the 1994 National Championship, and his wife, Regina, a former Razorback Pom Squad member, raised their family with a deep Razorback connection. Their children, Romani and Scotty Jr., followed in their footsteps, each becoming Razorback athletes in volleyball and football. We dive into stories of their competitive family spirit, the values and work ethic instilled by their parents, and what it means to carry on the Thurman legacy at Arkansas. For the Thurman’s, Arkansas isn’t just a school—it’s home.

Join us as we celebrate the family that has become an integral part of Razorback history.
