Stories of the famous and not-so-famous men and women from the days when baseball was "Arkansas' Game." Always free and always short enough to finish in one cup of coffee.
The AIC, in my opinion, had the most unusual mascots in the nation. The normal ones were the Tigers of Ouachita and the UCA Bears and maybe the Harding Bison. After that consider The Wonderboys, Muleriders, Reddies and my favorite, the Boll Weevils. Once Harding won the championship last week, they should have invited the Orediggers to join.
You are so right, and those mascots became more interesting when women's sports began to flourish. Sugar Bears, Cotton Blossoms, Golden Suns, and before those were all the 'ettes.

Wonderettes for Pete's sake.
Merry Christmas, Jim! Enjoy the holidays!
