Just after largest crowd in Arkansas history ended up in loss, devastating news altered schedule.
A celebration to usher in the newly expanded and renovated Razorback Stadium was dampened by an area storm and the game was twice delayed by lightning.
I was blissfully unaware of that morning's happenings when my cell phone rang. Was I watching TV? No, says I, but quickly turned on the big screen.Nothing on TV had ever affected me like the devastating footage being shown on every channel in the United State and across the world. Graphic images of airplanes flying into the World Trade Center in the heart of Manhattan took our collective breath away.
Major league baseball had canceled games on September 11 and then extended the ban for the next three days. Others were to follow suit. Plus, nobody knew how safe it would be to fly. For five days, all planes were grounded in the U.S. Nobody knew if the stadiums would be safe. Nobody knew much of anything.
A week after the 9/11 attack, the SEC, NFL and the country at large were ready to resume activities. The Razorbacks traveled to Alabama and lost 31-10 and flew to Georgia the next week and lost 34-23 before winning six straight.
