“As a longtime partner with the University of Arkansas Athletics, we couldn’t be more excited to announce our even greater commitment by hosting Coach Calipari’s weekly radio show,” Walk-On’s regional operating partner Andrew DiPippa said. “The parallels with Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux and athletics, specifically basketball, trace all the way back to our inception. We look forward to hosting this iconic show with Hall of Fame coach John Calipari in a world-class environment, and for all Hog fans to enjoy on the Learfield Razorback Sports Network across the great State of Arkansas. GO HOGS!”
Arkansas officially opens the season on Nov. 3 (Tuesday) with the first-ever meeting with UAPB.
