Biographical Page Part One The pieces I have written about in part one is about the Arkansas razorbacks season in Basketball, Baseball, and Football. I put my perspective in on how the hogs were doing and put some stats on some of the games they have won and lost.
Biographical Page Part two Part two is how I’ve spent life with sports. Sports control my life and sports are not all about having fun it teaches discipline and responsibility. Sports helps you get through life.
Biographical Page Part Three I wrote some things that go along in sports and rules. There are rules in basketball and there are rules in life we follow. Basketball teaches life lessons and it would be hard to live without it.
Sports Seasons Fall: The hogs are doing really bad in football this season. First off their defense is horrendous we couldn’t even stop Rutgers offense and even worse than that they gave up 34 points to UL Monroe. Our offensensive line has been really bad as well; they have let countless number of sacks happen this year and in the UL Monroe game their defense gave Tyler Wilson our quarterback a concussion. We can’t run the ball because Knile Davis is afraid to get hit and nobody can block for him or any other running back. Tyler Wilson can only trust Colby Hamilton to catch the ball because all the other receivers can’t catch a wide open pass and that is why the Arkansas razorbacks can’t get anything done in football .

Well the football team finished four and nine that’s really bad if you want to compare last year’s team, but that’s over with so now we move to basketball. Winter: The hogs have started off really strong in basketball except losing to Texas A @ M. that was about the only the only bad game they’ve had all year. I can’t wait till they play Kentucky they are doing ok this year but they are the defending national championship team and they just aren’t living up to the expectations. They were supposed to be the best team in the country but they are all freshman pretty much and there are no senior leaders to get them past the hard times. The Arkansas Razorbacks team just beat the number 2 team in the country the Florida gators. Let’s just say they pretty much murdered them. With seven minutes left in the first quarter the whole razorbacks team was shooting 73% which is really good for any team to do. We won that game 84 to 69. If we could play every game like that we could win a national championship game easily. We play Vanderbilt Saturday I think we should win that game pretty easily, but it’s on the road and we aren’t to great on the road.

Well we lost against Vanderbilt today but we’ve had some key wins after that loss like we beat Missouri at a home it was a really good win and I think it really boosted our confidence. We play Kentucky this weekend and it is going to be a real battle but it’s at home and we are undefeated at home and hopefully we can keep the streak going. Speaking of our home record we are thirty five and two since mike Anderson has started coaching at Arkansas. Mike Anderson has really started to turn this basketball team around with his coaching style. He likes to wear down the opposing team and press them the entire game. He makes them makes the mistakes and we turn those mistakes into points. They made a name for Arkansas and it’s called the fastest forty minutes of basketball.

We beat Kentucky seventy three to sixty it’s been two years since we’ve beat Kentucky and it was a great win for everybody in Arkansas because that is such a big rivalry game. We play Missouri again this Wednesday and it’s on the road so I’m not so sure about this one since the only away game we have won is against auburn and they are awful. If we ever want to be a winning program in basketball we need to learn how to win on the road all the other dominant basketball teams can win on the road and we have the same talent as them but we just cant get it done.

Well the season came to an end getting blown away by Missouri and it was really disappointing. We went undefeated in the SEC at home but auburn was our only away game victory. Now we start the SEC tournament and if we want a chance of going to the NCAA tournament we need to beat Vanderbilt in the first round. More disappointing news we lost to Vanderbilt in the first round and we didn’t make it to the NCAA tournament I guess we’ll jus t have to do better next season. Spring: baseball season is finally here and the hogs are starting the season # 1 in the country. Arkansas has always been one of the dominant schools in baseball and got third place last year in the NCAA tournament. Our pitching staff is best in the nation and looking like it’s going to be a great year. Well we lost some games we should’ve won and we dropped to number twelve that’s still pretty good but we could still be doing better. Well the hogs have one some really good games like a win over LSU who is really good but we did lose the series to them which we should have won. The hogs are looking to win a national championship this year and we will just have to wait if they do.

Part two Spring Break I needed a break from school altogether. Getting up at 6:30 is not how I would like to start a day off and then on top of that then I have to write all day spending hours of the day being taught thing. Sometimes it’s just nice to relax, have no worries, and just do nothing.
