Razorback Brew 9/7: Southwest legend

Today, an all-time Arkansas great receives a tremendous honor.

Good morning. It’s been a short work week, so we might as well start the weekend early too. Get ready for a top-10 soccer match tonight and much more from around The Hill.

Remember When: The Hogs+ documentary on the 1998 Arkansas football team is called “Resurgence.” Clay Henry just remembers it as the return to the good times for Razorback Nation. Gear up for tonight's premiere of Resurgence on Hogs+ with Clay Henry's reflections on that special 1998 team.

Now, what has all been mixed into today’s Brew?

🎥 Sam Pittman previews Kent State
🏌️‍♂️ Arkansas posts top-3 finish
🐗 And so much more!

🎥 WATCH RESURGENCE TONIGHT

Ready to party like it’s 1998?! The Hogs+ original film Resurgence premieres tonight on HogsPlus.com.

The 75-minute documentary spotlights the team's historic 8-0 start and lasting impact on the program, containing never-before-seen footage from inside the locker room plus interviews with Houston Nutt, Clint Stoerner, Anthony Lucas, Grant Garrett, Russ Brown, Joe Dean Davenport, and Kenoy Kennedy.

🎤 SAM PITTMAN LIVE

1-0 Pride. Head Coach Sam Pittman joins Chuck Barrett in the Catfish Hole to talk about Arkansas’ win over Western Carolina and preview Kent State. Jayden Johnson and Jaedon Wilson also joined the show to talk about their performances from this past Saturday.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Never Folded. The Arkansas men’s golf team finished third at the Folds of Honor Collegiate with a score of 863 (+11). The Razorbacks, which started the day in fourth place, had three players–John Driscoll III, John Daly II and Manuel Lozada–finish among the top 16. Manuel put together a second-straight round of 1-under-par 70 on Thursday, the lowest round for any Razorback this week, but it was John Driscoll who ended up as the lone Hog in the top 10. It’s the fifth top-10 finish for the Northwestern graduate transfer’s collegiate career.

🔺 Scouting The Tigers. The seventh-ranked Arkansas soccer team returns to the pitch tonight with a top-10 matchup against Clemson. The ninth-ranked Tigers are winners of their last five matches and have outscored their opponents 21-1 on the young season. Makenna Morris and Jenna Tobia each led Clemson with 11 points, and two of Morris’ four goals on the season have been game-winners. Tonight’s tilt begins at 6pm.

🔺 Lay of the League. The 2024 SEC league schedule for Arkansas women’s basketball has been revealed, featuring 16 games against conference opponents beginning with a road game against Kentucky on Thursday, January 4. The Hogs host Georgia for their SEC home opener later that week on Sunday, Jan. 7. Click here to view the entire league schedule.

🔺 Taking Court. Sticking with schedules, Arkansas men’s tennis kicks off its fall slate tomorrow as they travel to Kansas for the Wichita State 5K Fall UTR, and to Midland, Texas, for the Racquet Club 12K Prize Money Event. Arkansas then hosts its first of two tournaments at Billingsley Tennis Center, competing in the UTR Pro Tennis Tour, which runs from September 18-24. Check out the fall schedule here.

🔺 Southwest Legend. Former Razorback quarterback Kevin Scanlon will be among nine honorees inducted into the Southwest Conference Hall of Fame on Wednesday, October 11, 2023 in a luncheon at the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in Waco, Texas. Scanlon played for the Razorbacks for just two years (1978-79), but during that time made an indelible mark on the Arkansas program. Named the starting quarterback prior to the 1979 season, he earned Southwest Conference Player of the Year honors after he completed 92-of-139 passes for 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns.
