It’s football day in America
Hurricane Ike forced the postponement of today’s Arkansas - Texas football game. The Hogs and the Horns will play on Sept. 27. Ohio State - USC top the list of today’s marquee games. Other games of interest: Georgia at South Carolina, UCLA at BYU, Auburn at Miss. State, Wisconsin at Fresno St. and my national national sleeper pick Notre Dame takes on Michigan. There’s an Arkie connection to this game: former Razorback coach Lou Holtz will be on hand as Irish fans honor his 1988 national championship team and dedicate a statue in his honor. Holtz was the head coach at Arkansas the year I was born, in Fayetteville, and he led the football Hogs from 1977 - 1983. He compiled a 60-21-2 record and won an Orange Bowl during his time on the Hill, but no national title.
