The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly

It’s the story of how Arkansas baseball went from playing at the fairgrounds to becoming one of the top programs in the country. We visit with legendary Razorback baseball coach Norm DeBriyn, and talk about how he ended up in Arkansas (4:20), how he eventually got the head coaching job (8:30), teaching Driver’s Ed (11:40), and how he helped get Baum-Walker Stadium built (29:30). We’ll also chat with him and current coach Dave Van Horn about when Norm decided the time was right to pass the baton to his former player (39:00), and coming so close to winning a national championship (50:30).

In our debut episode, we head to Nolan Richardson’s ranch for a great conversation with the Hall of Fame coach. We talk about his early coaching days and style (7:13), and how his daughter convinced him to take the Arkansas job (24:00). Then we spend time talking about the 1994 championship (30:40), how he celebrated, and calling President Clinton “Prez” (39:00) Finally, we get his thoughts on the court at Bud Walton Arena being named in his honor (51:10), and he tells a funny story of how Rick Pitino tried to get him out of the SEC.
