Well, this past Saturday I went to the University of Arkansas fan day. It was held in Bud Walton Arena (basketball arena). All the players and Bobby Petrino were on hand for two hours to give autographs. You could bring one item to have signed, and thousands of people attended. I took my two nephews and they had a great time. The players were gracious and really interacted with the kids well. I took a football and was able to get most of the signatures I wanted: all the WR's (Joe Adams, Greg Childs, Jarius Wright, Cobi Hamilton...all 4 on the Bilentnikoff watch list), DE and DL (Jake Bequette, Alfred Davis, DD Jones, Tenarius Wright, etc), linebacker and safeties (Jerry Franklin, Jerico Nelson, etc), and a few others mixed in.
What a great day and atmosphere: Tusk the live mascot was there, all the cheerleaders were present, video screens were up all over playing highlights from last season.
The lines were crazy long though...so I did not get QB Tyler Wilson, coach Bobby Petrino (his line was an hour or longer wait and you only had 2 hours to get an autograph), or any of the running backs or Oline.
I will get Petrino's signature next year!
