I love this time of year. Football is getting to the nitty-gritty, with high school playoffs, college football getting closer to its conclusion, and the NFL continuing to push towards its playoffs.
Plus, Monday night I got to see the basketball Razorbacks play against Campbellsville, and I thought we looked very good, a lot better than what people are saying about the team.
Courtney Fortson and Rotnei Clarke kind of remind me of Kareem Reid & Pat Bradley, and I think that both are much more athletic than the '95-'99 duo from the upper Northeast were.
I have optimism for the season despite us being very young.
And in other news, isn't it awesome when a 2-8 team who finished No. 6 in its division makes the playoffs? That's the case with the Van Buren Pointers, who will play at Fort Smith Northside next Friday night.
Should be an absolute shallacking with Northside putting up at least 45 points.
Fayetteville plays at Little Rock Catholic. Probably a loss for the Purple Dogs, but a win would put them at Fort Smith Southside, a team that Fayetteville has already beat and seems to have its number.
We'll see how next Friday shakes out, with Arkansas opening the season against SE Louisiana.
