Celebration of A Championship - A Photo Extravaganza

As promised, here are some photos from my weekend trip to Fayetteville. The ones of me with various Hogs were taken at the Saturday night dinner in Springdale. The ones of the guys signing autographs were taken Sunday in the concourse of Bud Walton Arena. The lines for autographs were HUGE, and it was hard to move around. I'm just glad no one yelled, "fire!"

Thanks to my dad for taking many of these shots, and thanks to John for setting up the slideshow. Enjoy.

UPDATE #1: Internet Explorer and Camino users may encounter some problems with the slideshow. Our amphetamine-fueled tech staff is feverishly working to fix the problems. Thanks. (This also might be a good time for us to recommend that you download Firefox...it's free, and is the Expats' browser of choice.)

UPDATE #2: We think we've fixed the IE issue. If you have trouble viewing the slideshow, though, please let us know. (And we still recommend downloading Firefox.)

Looks awesome. Wish I could have made it back this weekend.

I’m heading back this weekend, though. They’re planning on reuniting everyone every weekend from here on out though…right?

Stephen,

This is great stuff, especially for those of us expats far away from AR. Thanks!!

BTW – I think I heard Davor and Elmer Martin were the only ones that weren’t there. Did you happen to hear anything about the whereabouts of either??

Davor was an intern at my old job in AR. Seemed like a solid kid at the time.

OldskoolJT,

Unfortunately, Elmer Martin is in prison, serving a sentence for drug distribution charges. He’s scheduled to be released in 2012.

Rimac works for a technology firm in Croatia, and I imagine just couldn’t make it back.

On a related, depressing note, Corey Beck was attending the festivities while on a 48-hour furlough from jail. He’s serving time for failure to pay child support. Sad.

Stephen, those are some great pictures. And the final one with the scoreboard was certainly a sight for sore eyes!

Did you get a good look at the campus and Fayetteville itself? Was the ice storm damage very obvious? One of my favorite things about Fayetteville and the UofA campus is the trees, especially in the fall.

Stephen,

Thanks for the speedy update, although it is sad to hear the Martin and Beck update.

Since you are such an encyclopedia of Hog knowledge, perhaps you could enlighten us to the personal details of some of our other championship team members…I mean, if you find yourself with some spare time later…or now while at work :)

Stephen, I have known you for almost 20 years and I don’t think I have seen you that happy since they actually won the championship. I can’t think of a better weekend for you!
