September 1998 – Houston Nutt returned to the program he
once quarterbacked as Frank Broyles’ choice to take the Arkansas Razorbacks to
new heights in the rigorous Southeastern Conference. The 1998 football season
opened with great enthusiasm and optimism. I attended the first conference game
in Fayetteville against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Arkansas won 42-6 and really
controlled the game from start to finish. I attended the game with my wife,
brother and sister-in-law and we had a great time celebrating a big SEC victory
against the past and future SEC standard bearer.
This cup was sold at Razorback Stadium and
featured a quarterback in the road white jersey wearing uniform #14. Hmmm…I
wonder who that could be? This “Clint Stoerner cup” featured the player art
with Coca-Cola logo on one side and the full game schedule on the other side.
This ’98 team won their first 8 games and finished 9-3 on the season. Thanks to
Coach Nutt and the players on this squad, the Arkansas Razorbacks were back on
the national map.
