Earth, Wind, and Fire

[hogbud]

On SEC broadcast last night Pat Bradley called Arkansas guards "Earth, Wind, and Fire". First time I've heard that reference. I like it!
Bradley is entertaining.

[ErykofArkansas]

Yea, I'm gonna bend the rules and say

Earth = Barford
Wind = C.J. Jones (dudes the definition of air)
Fire = Macon AND Beard

He's very good at what he does. Should graduate to ESPN in a couple of years, but love him for Hog games on SEC network.

Barford = Earth  (strong, steady)

Macon  = Wind   (brash, cocky)

Beard  = Fire     (heart, fearless)

That's the way of the world.

If we beat Butler, I'm betting the national media will pick up on this. They already followed up with CMA about the nickname in his interview after the players. Coach A laughed it off but it will come back up if they beat Butler tomorrow.

Cool story in CMA's interview about his 1994 championship ring that resurfaced at a New Orleans pawn shop last year after being "lost" for over 20 years.

Lost his ring? Really? Wow. Never heard that story.

The Razorback basketball players are talking it up as a good omen that it resurfaced this season. Let's hope they are right.

Yep, turned up in a New Orleans pawnshop in almost mint condition. Apparently, after playing a game at LSU in 1995, CMA discovered that his national championship ring was missing during the flight back to Fayetteville and he had Coach Z to call the hotel where they stayed and asked that they check to see if he had left it in the room. After the maids did a "thorough" check, the hotel informed Coach that his ring was not there.

Last year, CMA got a call from a pawnshop in New Orleans and the person on the phone told him that they had a Razorback national championship ring from 1994 that had the name Anderson inscribed on it. The person also said that they had done an internet search of the '94 roster and the only Anderson on that roster was Mike Anderson. CMA wasn't quite convinced yet that this was real so they sent a picture of the ring.

Having seen that it was indeed his "lost" ring, CMA bought it back from the pawnshop. The pawnshop probably figured correctly that the ring would bring more money from the actual owner so that most likely is the reason for it's eventual return. The ring is now safely displayed in CMA's memorabilia collection.

To get that ring back after it's 20 something year oddessy is a real "lost and found" story.

Well it was actually after a 2004 road game in Tulane. Matt Zimmerman remembered when he lost it, as he was the director of ops back then.

Yes, it was in Louisiana where his ring was "lost" into one of those housekeeping/maids pocket.

[PharmacistHog]

Wonder how much he had to pay to get it back?
