Exposure maintains Hogs' long standing tradition of national appeal
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — It's going to take some getting used to John Calipari's national brand at Arkansas. The Razorbacks have always had a certain level of national appeal, but Calipari brings it to a new echelon.
The latest example being when he attended a 2024 World Series between New York and the Los Angeles. Calipari has gotten to know Yankees general manager Brian Cashman over the years and even had the honor of sitting in his box for a game at Yankee Stadium.Arkansas coaches of late have been known for national connections. Former coach Eric Musselman, a diehard San Diego Padres fan, was often seen at ballparks up and down the coast of California.
Arkansas is now a week away from taking that national brand and playing games that actually count. The Razorbacks open their regular season against Lipscomb Nov. 6 inside Bud Walton Arena. Before that, the Hogs will play their final exhibition game against TCU Friday at 7 p.m. The game will not be broadcast or streamed.
