Pat Kelly has resigned his post as the Baum Stadium public address announcer. Kelly, who is moving away, spent the last seven seasons in the capacity after taking over for the late Larry Shank beginning with the 2008 season.
"We need to get the right guy," Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn said Thursday. "We need the energy person, the voice, the enthusiasm because we need to get this stadium rolling. We need to get it rocking out there and energy, and that helps if you can get the right stadium person. I appreciate the effort of all of those guys.
"Hopefully there's somebody in this area that wants to do it."
Absolutely and all of that has been missing these past 7 years!
"If I were playing third base and my mother were rounding third with the run that was going to beat us, I'd trip her. Oh, I'd pick her up and brush her off and say, 'Sorry, Mom,' but nobody beats me." ~ Leo Durocher
A spectator sits and merely observes, but a fan is someone who gets into a game and tries to help his team win.
