  • 247. Maria José Marin: Swinging for New Heights
    May 6 2024

    Maria José Marin has exploded onto the collegiate golf scene during her freshman season at Arkansas—from setting a 54-hole record during her debut outing, to being ranked the No. 1 women's college golfer in the country. The 17-year-old Columbia native is somewhat of a golf prodigy. She picked up her first golf club at the age of 3 and was competing internationally by the time she was 8. The young golf star has been all over the world playing the sport and has earned prestigious invitations to the Augusta National Women’s amateur tournament and a selection to team international at the 2024 Arnold Palmer cup in Ireland. The SEC Freshman of the Year has accomplished so much in such a young career, but she is just getting started.

  • 242. Scotty Thurman: Since the Shot
    Apr 1 2024

    Thirty years ago Scotty Thurman made the shot that sealed Arkansas basketball its National Championship. Thurman was a prolific high school and college basketball player.

We dive into the man off the court and reveal the untold stories about his life and career since the shot.

  • 241. Eric Mateos: Back in the Trenches
    Mar 25 2024

    Eric Mateos is the new man at the helm of the Razorbacks' offensive line. But, it's not his first time working under Sam Pittman at Arkansas. Ten years ago Mateos served under then-offensive line coach Sam Pittman as a grad assistant as he tried to break into division I football from the JUCO ranks. Since then it's been full speed ahead—coaching at programs like LSU, BYU & Baylor before coming full circle and landing the job as offensive line coach at Arkansas. We dive into his journey, working under Bobby Petrino and what makes Sam Pittman the only man he would drop everything and move across the country for when he came calling.
