Purple,
I'm watching the game on tv here in extreme south Texas. Just watching Houston Nutt lead the hogs out of the tunnel with the fans calling the hogs brought tears I know Houston won't recall, but I spoke with him briefly in field service in the early 70's. His parents weren't home and he accepted a tract. He was then a prolific high school quarterback at Little Rock Parkview. He was the last person personally recruited by the legendary "Bear" Bryant. To match that Arkansas sent Frank Broyles into the Nutt home to speak with Nutt and his parents. Houston Nutt, Sr. coached the Arkansas Deaf School basketball team for about 40 years.
Houston went to Arkansas because they agreed to let him play two sports. He was a quarterback of Lou Holtz's football team and a guard for Eddie Sutton's basketball team. Houston was a dropback quarterback and didn't fit in with Holtz's veer offense so he transferred to Oklahoma State.
War Memorial Stadium is an old, dilapidated WPA era concrete stadium. The atmosphere is great, though, with 50,000 calling the hogs. We got to go to quite a few games in the 70's when a rich elder didn't use his tickets.

hey TMS.......
first 2:30 of game..........and TOUCHDOWN
the hogs are so hot this year, its great!!! LSU fans starting coming in on Tuesday. I could not believe it.
He was a quarterback of Lou Holtz's football team
I really miss Lou Holtz still, those were the days.........and Ron Calcagni !!! Remember him?
cripes.........LSU just scored!!!! and they got the extra point!!!! double cripes.......I hope missing that extra point does not do the hogs in.

I know what you mean about the tears........there is such a unity around the state with the love of the Razorbacks......
woohoooo......for meeting Nutt in service.
I went to Hall High Briefly in the 70's.......then to NLR NorthEast. Although I lived closer to Ole Main....lived on Park Hill.
Did you live in Parkview HS area? nosey me.

Purple,
I will try.
Pic.#1: From NLR back across the Arkansas River. I think that's the old railroad bridge, the Camelot Hotel, the Excelsior, etc.
Pic.#2: ???? I don't recognize those churches.
Pic.#3: I-630 & Rodney Parham??
Pic.#4: Park along the southern edge of the river, just east of I-630. I don't recall the name. It has walking trails. I lost a kite their years ago.

ps: I certainly do remember Ron Calcagni. Just before the 1978 Orange Bowl, Holtz suspended his 3 best players for violating his "Do right" rule. Calcagni and reserve running back Roland Sales had great games against heavily-favored Oklahoma.

one is correct
two......Directly Behind those churches is Park Hill...My parents used to own a house on Starfield with a beautiful view of the LR Skyline, now all you can see is the rooftops of those Pentacostal churches......on I-40
three....from St Vincents Doctors Building 8th floor looking out at 630 and University. Park Plaza and University Mall is to the North....and next big street south is Asher. To the right is Sears.....and that is the Sears Auto center, below......tip of their building.
four....At I-67 just south of Jacksonville there is a new loop around the city 440. I was stuck in crawling traffic here to merge onto 67 just before the Redmond Rd exit. In the background where the trees are on the horizon...(actually it is only about 2 miles) is where I live.
