The Razorbacks were always a promotional vehicle for KAAY. The station did everything to promote the Razorbacks, i.e. bumper stickers, store signs, records, contests, pep rallies. I've written about early Razorback records on this blog. (check the archives).
One reason KAAY backed the Razorbacks was that General Manager Pat Walsh was a big supporter. Some of my fondest memories are going to Razorback games in Fayetteville with Pat and friends. He always took anyone who wanted to go from the staff. In those days you could take anything you wanted into the stadium. Pat would have a portable TV (rare in those days), a bar, radios, a drop cloth big enough to cover several rows of fans in case of rain, and any thing else he could think of for fan comfort. Going to a game with Pat was an experience regardless of who won.
Today's audio treat is a personal tape put together for Pat probably by the production department. He used this tape for parties and any occasion for inspiring the hogs.
I'm sure Pat would want to share this with you, even though it relates mostly to the Southwest Conference.
