Summary

Few have been better ambassadors for college football in Arkansas than former Razorback linebacker David Bazzel. We sat down with “the Baz” to hear his story, starting with how he ended up at Arkansas coming out of Florida (3:16). We talk about what it was like to go through a coaching change (9:03), and his memories of playing for the Razorbacks (18:25). He tells us how he got into media (25:25), and how the Broyles Award was founded (36:32). We talk about the creation of the Golden Boot trophy (39:06), and finally, what he wants his legacy to be (47:00).
