Blessings Golf Course The Razorback Golf team moved into their home course at Blessings during the summer of 2004. The course is both challenging to players and was a challenge to create. Robert Trent Jones II and owner John Tyson (Chairman and CEO of Tyson Foods) had a number of goals in mind when designing Blessings. A very hands-on client, Tyson wanted a flexible golf course where every shot required careful thought and precise execution. He also wanted a course sufficiently demanding to host major collegiate tournaments. To meet the dual goals of toughness and flexibility, RTJ II created a unique golf course with three adjustable holes-eight, nine and sixteen-which can be configured to play to different pars, depending on course setup. Another challenge in designing Blessings was to route the golf course so that the clubhouse could be located outside of the floodplain of Clear Creek, the major topographical and strategic feature of the site. After considering a number of possibilities, a continuous eighteen-hole routing was recommended rather than a pair of returning nines. A third challenge arose as the architect designed the short, par-three tenth hole, which plays to a green located on an exposed platform at the edge of a vertical rock quarry. The green site was shaded by a grove of hardwoods that we wished to save, but needed to thin out to provide sunlight to the green. To solve this dilemma, we generated computer models that showed sunlight angles to the green at various times of day and season, and figured out how to save the greatest number of trees while allowing for enough light to grow grass on the green. This is a good example of how RTJ II delivers environmentally sensitive solutions to golf course design challenges-something we’ve been doing for more than 30 years. Blessings stretches to nearly 7,500 yards from the back tees and plays through two distinct landforms-the Clear Creek floodplain and a plateau that rises to 65 feet above the floodplain where it’s bisected by a series of ravines. Both the outward and inward nines climb up and down between the two topographies, creating drama and variety on a course where golfers will surely feel both tested and blessed by the glory of their surroundings.

Prior to accepting the head coaching job at Lamar, McMakin spent four years as a professional golfer. McMakin competed on several mini tours as well as playing on the Nike and Hooters Tours. Originally signing with Lamar out of high school, McMakin transferred to Oklahoma when former LU coach Greg Grost accepted the Okla- homa men’s golf job. It proved to be a wise move for McMakin as he would help the Sooners win a national championship during the 1989 season. McMakin, a co-captain of that squad, served in the same capacity the following year as Oklaho- ma finished fifth at the national tournament. McMakin was also a standout golfer on the Kelly High School golf team. He was a regular in the TCIL state tournament and earned medalist honors four times. While at Kelly, McMakin played for former Lamar coach Charles Rodemacher. The 39-year old McMakin earned a bachelor degree in communications from Oklahoma in 1991. He and his wife, Tonia, have one son - Mat- thew (4).

55 The University of ARKANSAS One of America’s leading land-grant universities, the University of Arkansas opens a new chapter in its storied history in 2008-09. The benefits of a billion-dollar Campaign for the Twenty-First Century are beginning to show. Arkansas enjoyed yet another record enrollment in 2007, and expects the same for Fall 2008. The over 18,000 students enrolled at the Fayetteville campus welcome a new Chancellor, Dr. G. David Gearhart, this fall. One of the benchmarks to college education is the annual US News and World Report “Best Colleges” issue. The 2008 edition keeps the University of Arkansas in the top level of the leading institutions of higher learning in the United States. The peer review and data-driven survey had Arkansas in the top tier for the first time in school history. In addition, the Sam M. Walton College of Business ranked 25th place among the nation’s top public undergraduate business schools, according to the 2007 US News. Adding to the good news, the College of Engineering was ranked for the first time. The Carnegie Foundation categorizes the University of Arkansas as a research institution with “high research activity,” which puts UA in the top 10 percent in the nation. As a land-grant university, Arkansas strives to fulfill a three-fold mission of teaching, research and service. The Fayetteville campus also serves as the flagship institution of the University of Arkansas system, which includes branch universities and the UA Medical System. As the lead campus, UA serves as the state’s major center of professional education and as the state’s main source of theoretical and applied research.

We Prepare Students to Succeed At the University of Arkansas, we strive for excellence in everything we do, and we achieve it with nationally ranked academic programs as well as with our athletic teams. Here, successful students will join with other graduates succeeding as major media executives, scientists, engineers, teachers, writers and Olympians. Arkansas’ true success is measured by its students. Since the turn of the 21st Century, Arkansas has brought home more than its share of the nation’s most prestigious undergraduate awards. In fact, the University of Arkansas was the only public or private institution in the country to have Rhodes, Marshall, Goldwater, Udall, NSF and James Madison recipients in the same year back in 2001-02, and continues each year to add to the overall total of the highly competitive post-graduate awards won by Arkansas students.

Student-Athlete Academic Support and Achievement Services Recognizing the difficulty of balancing the demands of athletic competition at the highest level and completion of the rigorous academic standards of a Carnegie research-level university, the Razorback Athletic Department provides support services through both facilities and personnel to guide Arkansas student-athletes to their ultimate goal: Uni- versity of Arkansas diploma. The key components of the SAASA are personal development, career development, academic tutoring, study hall facilities, class attendance monitoring and incentive awards recognizing academic achievement.

61 University of Arkansas Academic Game Plan for Graduation Student-athletes are expected to meet specific academic criteria in order to maintain eligibility. This is easily achieved by following the Academic Game Plan created by the Student-Athlete Academic Support and Achieve- ment team. The SAASA designs programs and sets specific goals to help student- athletes achieve academic success. An example of a key goal is the successful completion of 30 hours of coursework during each academic year. By maintaining this course load, Razorback athletes not only stay on track to graduate in four years, but easily meet eligibility requirements set by the NCAA.

Study Hall and Tutors A quiet setting for uninter- rupted study, the Bogle Aca- demic Center provides three types of study hall space. The computer lab (above) has over 30 stations for individual computer-based study. An open study hall is available for group or individual study, and monitored by staff members of the SAASA. There are 17 individual study carrels that provide space for tutors to meet with student-athletes for individual instruction in specific subjects. Each Razorback team sets its own criteria for study hall attendance. The use of tutors is a key element for academic success, allowing for individualized assistance and for reaching academic excellence in advanced subjects.

63 Arkansas Razorbacks: Athletes & Graduates

“I am always proud of my degree from the University of Arkansas. I had the good fortune to go to on to UAMS in Little Rock to train in surgery after Fayetteville. When I left Little Rock to study at Cornell in New York, I was very pleased to find that my education and training at the University of Arkansas was equal to that of my colleagues from Ivy League schools. My time as a Razorback was my most life-shaping experience, and I have always been proud of how I was trained and what I learned at the University of Arkansas.”

In 2005, Long dedicated a new Olympic sports weight room at Fitzgerald Field House as well as training facilities for gymnastics and wrestling. When he departed Pittsburgh, Long had plans for new competition venues for baseball, softball, soccer and track and field, plus en- hancements for the Pitt Band. His commitment to building the Pitt athletics brand resulted in a new primary mark for the Panthers which returned the powerful “PITT” brand to the University of Pittsburgh.

During the early years of its athletic history, the Cardinal served as the University nickname. A lot of things changed in 1909, howev- er, when Arkansas football coach Hugo Bezdek called his players “a wild band of Razorback hogs,” after guiding his team to a 16-0 victory over Louisiana State on October 30, 1909. Alluding to the Razorback, characterized by a ridge back and tenacious, wild fighting ability, Bezdek never forgot this idea and often called his team “a fighting band of Razor- backs.” This new nickname became increas- ingly popular and the student body voted to change the official University mascot from the Cardinal to the Razorbacks in 1910. In the 1920s, “Wooo, Pig, Sooie” was added as the school yell, re- Running Through The “A” ferred to more commonly as For Razorback football players, there is nothing to compare with entering the stadium for a home the “Hog Call.” Arkansas game.

I will always remember that special feeling of running through the ‘A’.” The dis- tinctive logo of The Razorback Marching Band sets the stage by forming a huge “A” as they march the length of the the Arkansas teams is officially known as the field playing Arkansas Fight.

To the roar of the crowd and the band blasting out Arkansas Fight, the current Razorbacks run onto Helmet Hog -- a fixture of the football team’s the field through the “A,” connecting them to generations of previous men in the Cardinal and White. helmet for almost half a century. “Just to be able to run through that ‘A’ and hear the fans cheer for you is unbelievable,” 1989 All- American offensive tackle Jim Mabry said. “To sit in the stands now, I still get chill bumps every time the band starts playing and I see the guys running out.”

There are plenty of powerful mascots in college athletics, but none as unique as the Razorback. Not many school mascots have escaped from their homes, not once, but twice, to ravage the local country side. By their nature, the Razorbacks are hard to contain. A Mascot Like No Other The wild hogs known as razorbacks native to the Arkansas wil- derness bear no resemblance to the typical barnyard pig of today. The untamed razorback hog was a lean, feral animal that was ill-tempered. It fought and defeated anything that crossed its path, man or beast. Turn of the 20th century outdoor magazines lauded the razorback as “the most intelligent of all the hogs and is likewise the most coura- geous. . . . He has a clear, farseeing eye.” This was the mighty animal that inspired Hugo Bezdek to pro- claim his team had fought “like a wild band of razorback hogs” against LSU in 1909. Except for rare sightings in the Australian Outback, the Razor- back only exists today in the form of Arkansas’ players and fans. A Russian boar, which closely resembles the wild hog of Bezdek’s day, currently serves as the official live mascot. He resides near campus, and attends all Arkansas home football games. The tradition of a live mascot dates back to the 1960s with a summer of 1977 and ravaged the countryside before being gunned down series of hogs that have proudly represented Arkansas. In addition to by an irate farmer. Another live mascot, Ragnar, was a wild hog captured appearances at games, they have gained a reputation for fierce behav- in south Arkansas by Leola farmer Bill Robinson. Before Ragnar’s spree ior. was done, the mighty animal had killed a coyote, a 450-pound domestic Big Red III escaped from an exhibit near Eureka Springs in the pig and seven rattlesnakes. Ragnar died in 1978 of unknown causes.

78 The Hog Hat It is true; no Razorback fan’s closet is complete without an official Hog Hat. The original style was a hard plastic hat with a long snout, rough razorback ridges across the top and wickedly sharp, pointed curly-cue tail. The modern versions are often sculpted from softer material. Regardless, the Hog Hat is undoubtedly the most recognized piece of fan apparel in college athletics. Just ask ESPN GameDay’s Kirk Herbstreit as he dons the traditional Hog Hat. Arkansas Fight One of the first tasks of a new Razorback is learning to sing the University of Arkan- sas fight song. Arkansas Fight was written in the late 1920s. It is a unique tune, fitting of the only college in America with a Razorback mascot. Several other colleges have adapted the tune, but the lyrics remain unique to Ar- kansas. A Proper Hog Call Hit that line! Hit that line!
