My Mom was a huge Arkansas fan, though mainly basketball and football. She loved Nolan Richardson. She, my aunt, uncle and grandparents lived there for some years in the '50s, and she would tell me stories about the segregated facilities. But, she never stopped loving the place and went back for football games.

Congrats to them for knocking off the reigning champs.
