LITTLE ROCK, AR — The red carpet was rolled out at the state capitol for Razorbacks new football coach Bret Bielema.

Razorback Day at the capitol began with a gathering at a restaurant, where they called the hogs, then the party moved to the capitol rotunda where they held a pep rally.

Then Coach Bielema, Jeff Long, and Chancellor Gearhart were honored by the Senate.

Coach Bielema says he’s been blown away by the Arkansas hospitality.
