April 11, 1994 – The Arkansas Razorbacks won the national
championship in college basketball in 1994. I first met Corliss Williamson the
summer before his freshman year at the U of A. He and Scotty Thurman were roommates
at the same apartment complex my wife & I lived in near campus. I knew who
they were and being a big Hog fan, had hopes that they would help the team win.
Never did I imagine how many games these 2 players would help Arkansas win
during their 3 seasons together (1992-1993, 1993-1994, 1994-1995).
I was living overseas the day that Arkansas
became national champs. I had to celebrate from afar and missed out on sharing
this experience with my fellow Hog fans. My wife gave me this framed SI
magazine signed by NCAA Final Four MOP (Most Outstanding Player) Corliss
Williamson for my birthday last year. I’m extremely proud to be a fan of the
Razorbacks basketball team and will be forever grateful to a power forward from
Russellville High School who took Arkansas on his back and to the Promised Land
– 1994 national champs!
