Talk:Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame

25 Littkr Pigs
I attended a ceremony some years ago and understand that both the “ 25 Little Pigs “ who won the Southwest Conference in 1954 and later, their Coach , Bowden Wyatt were inducted into the Arkansas Spirts Hall of Fame  ?

My father, Bobby Ellis Gilliam was one of the 25 Littke Pigd playing at Arkansas from played from 52 through 55. He passed yesterday morning. Br was from Monticello but has lived in Shreveport and pursued his career as a professional career as a geologist. I played at Ouachita under Coach Buddy Bob Benson in 71-74 and am currently a layer in Shreveport.

When Coach Wyatt took over the program, he changed the approach , focusing on toughness , quickness and spieed and with their numbers being greatly reduced. I found an article recording the doors on the pushers, with Henry Moore , Buddy Benson and Henry Walker ring the fastest at bathos distances and with Bobby Gilliam  , a pulling guard and defensive lineman / nose nab. Ring the 4th fastest.

We have bern reviewing many old articles and programs yesterday including those of the 1954 year, when the Razorbacks near Texas in Austin for the first time in many years and then near highly ranked Ole Miss in Little Rock.

Thank you and as we are adjusting and looking at his career, I wanted to pass this along.
