Researched & amassed some 3,000+ primary sources on early University of Arkansas Athletic, Mascot & School Colors History. Ever-aspiring writer. My analysis might be more correct than your sources.
How did the cameras find Kevin Hart?? Bwhahahahaha

There have been only 17 comebacks of 24 or more points in NFL History.

If it's not clear, the season that UA is calling the 1897 season for AIU baseball is actually the 1896 season bc the Yearbook was the source. It will be a continuing problem when decades later someone, maybe under the direction of sports publists Bob Cheyne, compiled Razorback sports history.

@imposterdroids.bsky.social look at my feed for things u've not seen if interested.

If you have read my posts here, maybe you quibble with whether the 1893, 1894 & 1895 baseball games... All after formal creation of the AIU Athletic Association are "seasons." Given that 1895's single game has been accepted as a "season," the inconsistency would be glaring. The gaps below are 🚩🚩🚩.

The first game in the season that you are familiar with as has been published for more than half a century was on May 5, 1896, as detailed in multiple contemporaneous accounts. The fourth game of the season occurred on May 30, 1896. We've known the season. History has poorly documented it.

Although there is no set lead time to ensure that all copies of a yearbook are printed, when a school year ends in late May or early June, the yearbook would need to be at the printer sometime in April, possibly before the baseball season began. One telling point is the lack of dates.

Proof for the record of Arkansas first year baseball comes from these pages. Why not? They are from first year book published in 1897 for the 1896-97 school year. So what's the problem? Have you worked on a yearbook before? When does it go to press?

But I don't need to tell the Avid fans among you about the 1896 baseball season. You already know about it if you've read the media guide history of records by season. It's the very first line. Sharp, um.. Dude that says 18 - 97!! 😉🤣

The words used to describe trainer changed Within months. The word "trainer" became used interchangeably with "coach." BN Wilson became AIU's 1st Coach in 1896 with usual laudatory remarks about his knowledge & ability. The baseball team got around to organizing in April.

AIU football team news was not done for 1895. Shortly after the first mascot name was revealed, it was announced that the University was looking for a football "Trainer." It appears to be the first instance of any publicized football arms race for Arkansas. 54-0 victor Texas had a trainer.

From here on out, these posts will be individual. It does not appear to be too easy to follow a long continuous thread on this platform.

As promised. The thread revealing the first University of Arkansas mascot has been deleted. More surprises will follow.
November 22, 2024 at 4:32 AM
Thus far all of my posts have been a single thread which will not remain up long. It tells the story of the origins of University of Arkansas colors, Athletic program and ultimately mascot. It's only for my first Blue Sky followers. The post continues here.
Anyone coming across this account and making a cursory inquiry. No Texas game goes without its drama, in some form or fashion. It's always been that way. To be continued...

These posts will be special for my 1st Bluesky followers. They will not remain up long. I will tell some of the jewels of what I know.
