Touchdown, Arkansas!
Courtesy of Brandon Marcello and The Slophouse blog, we came across this compilation of some of Paul Eells' memorable radio calls from the last seven years. Good stuff. Fall afternoons just aren't the same without Eells' trademark celebration of the Hogs entering the end zone.
According to Marcello, KATV's Web site will post additional compilations as the week progresses. This weekend, a golf tournament and celebrity softball game will be held in Cabot to commemorate Eells and raise money for broadcast journalism majors.
For our money, Eells' most memorable on-air moment was his radio call of U.S. Reed's half-court buzzer-beater in the NCAA Tournament, which you can hear by clicking here. Hard to believe that was more than 27 years ago.
From the "Wish We'd Written It" File
In the most recent edition of The Arkansas Times, Bob Lancaster offers a hilarious review of 2007. Below, I've cut and pasted Lancaster's two comments on Wally Hall:
Best Wally ride - In one of his sports columns in March, Wally Hall wrote of a traffic accident involving a Jeep Jerokee.
Best Wally bet - In one of his sports columns in May, Wally announced his patriotic support for "the war being wagered in Iraq."
