This week, we're bringing Tony Bua's Hog Pod episode back from the vault to celebrate his induction into the Arkansas Hall of Honor—and the release of Beyond Regulation, now streaming on HogsPlus.com.

Bua's fire, competitiveness and big hits made him a Razorback fan favorite. But the Hogs' all-time leader in tackles was once undersized, under-recruited and nearly missed his chance to play major college football. In this episode, Bua shares how a move before his senior year changed everything and reflects on an electric Arkansas career that included an SEC West title and two seven-overtime wins—including the unforgettable 2001 game against Ole Miss at the heart of Beyond Regulation.

In this episode, Arkansas women's golf star María José Marín and head coach Shauna Taylor reflect on Marin's life-changing victory at the Augusta National Women's Amateur and the Razorbacks' historic run to the Final Four. They discuss Marin's development as a player, her decision to finish her college career at Arkansas and the unfinished business driving the team into her final season—with winning a national championship no longer in the back of her mind, but firmly in the front.
