I can't thank each person personnally, there are too many, but my time at Arkansas has to go down as the best of times. This board has many great fans and it is a pleasure to read all the posts good and bad... SO Thanks to all that make this possible.
I have always tried to leave places not owing anyone anything, however the kindness I have been shown by the parents of the players, the loyal fans and the players is impossible to leave not owing.
It was a Great Ride Good Luck to you all and be safe. My only advice to those close to the program is that some of the information that goes on behind locker room doors and on the field needs to be held in the strictest of confidence. If not you run the risk of this turning into a Peyton Place.

Thank YOU Mr. Walker, and our many thanks to Brian for being OUR catcher for the time he was here.
I got to meet you in Kentucky. I think we all wish Brian the best of luck in the future.
You and your family feel free to "come home" at any time, we will still be here and would always be glad to see you in the future.
GO HOGS!

We'll miss you and you offer the best advice ever!!! The push to be "the first out" with the news runs the risk you mention. Thanks.
Best of luck to you, and know that we sure expect to see you and Brian come back for visits. You know where you can find most of us on game days......and now you'll be able to enjoy that entire tailgating line instead of just savoring the aroma!
You owe us nothing, and Brian gave his heart and soul and left it all on the field. No one can ask more! Thanks for the ride!

Mr DWalk!
We owe you a big Thank you! thank you for raising an incredible young man, and allowing us to watch him play for our team. BWalk is an amazing young man, and I love that he is well-spoken and always put the team first.
And, I agree that some things need to be kept in confidence. Sometimes, I think passions get the best of brains, and things slip out.
We hope that you will stop and visit the board at times. and that when BWalk gets back to Arkansas, we can make the road trip to watch him.
Again, thank you for sharing your incredible son with the rest of us.

I would echo the sentiments expressed by everyone else, and really don't have the words to add much. We truly hope Brian reaches AA in the Angels organization so that we can all see him play in Little Rock, Tulsa, Springfield, and Springdale.

I wish Brian and all of the Hogs that are leaving the very best. They are entering the next step of their dream and I hope it doesn't end until they reach the 'The Big Show'

I didn't intend my post to sound like AA is the ultimate destination. Just much better than playing in Utah, Washington, or anywhere else the rookie and short-season A leagues are.

DWalk,
I hope you shared the information with Brian that I sent to you earlier by PM. He's had a tremendous impact on all of us, but in particular one young man. I suspect that a dream has been instilled in that young man and that hopefully someday we'll see that little guy playing as a Razorback and maybe Brian will be the one in the stands taking it all in.
Best of luck to you and Brian. I hope you'll be back in Fayetteville from time to time next year. As "dacooks" said, you know where to find us. Come and join us for some tailgating time.

I also enjoyed his interaction with the younger fans. You did raise a fantastic son!

No matter what the Hog team, I always pick #21 as a sentimental favorite since that's been my lucky number all my life... And whadda ya know, #21 for the Hogs ends up being an outstanding player to boot... Loved the way he played, which was always the same speed: full out...
Can't thank you and your family enough... Happy Trails, and stop by some time...
- Bert in Springdale
