Little Rock oct 16 exhibition
Texas tech exhibition

What other exhibitions will we schedule? I wonder if it’ll be good teams like Purdue last year?

What time is the game set for? Will it be televised? Any national TV coverage?

Mahalo for your assistance.

Random to play an exhibition against Little Rock. I am assuming the exhibitions are now against D-1 teams instead of the lower divisions of the NCAA and the NAIA schools.

Still, I miss Marathon Oil and Athlete's in Action.
That last sentence is gold! Anyway, I read last night that we are playing an exhibition game against Texas Tech and another Big 12 school.

I never did find just what action it was that those athletes were in action for
That was my thought the first time I saw them listed as an opponent. Up until a few years ago, they were still playing college teams, albeit NAIA's and D2's.

For nobody wondering, they were a Christian ministry of sorts. I think at halftime one of their players would give a speech about Christ. I remember they came to my high school for an assembly.

Little Rock is Pope continuing to support/show love to former Cats who are coaching and getting them on the schedule. Travis Ford is the Little Rock coach. He gets another Rupp homecoming. I don't mind using the "extra" exhibitions for that one, especially with still scheduling two big ten teams.

I had totally forgotten Travis Ford got hired there. I was thinking Darrell Walker was still the coach there.

Sir, you are a unicorn. I would suspect that 99% of our fans have never heard of Darrell Walker.
Thank you! I remember hearing about his playing career, but I wasn't a fan of the game then. I do remember him coaching the Raptors in the 90s and then he lead Little Rock to the OVC Championship game a few years ago losing to Morehead State.
