Your comment
The Arkansas OMAHAWGS playing well into June was by far the biggest sports story of the year. From sweeping LSU in Alex Box, to Brady Toops' grand slam, to Charley Boyce's iron man effort to NCAA record crowds for the Super Regional, it was a season to be remembered. As one of the 10,000 that called the Hogs after Arkansas native Jay Sawatski got a strikeout to send the Hogs to Omaha for the first time in 15 years, I know I will remember it for the rest of my life.

last night on sports final they had their top 5 sports events/stories. Number one: Brady's grand slam and the resulting CWS appearance. They replayed the grand slam and I almost cried again.
