From walk-on to Hall of Famer

Special to the Log Cabin

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is another in a series by Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame director David Grimes, who will be president of the organization in 2009, profiling members of the Hall with Conway and Faulkner County connections)

Monte Coleman was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1998 along with Nolan Richardson, Mark Martin, Jimmy Johnson, Bill Stancil, Firmon Bynum, Hendrix player and coach Chick Austin, and Conway basketball great Marvin Delph.

Born in 1957, Coleman wasn't even considered by man the best football player in his family coming out of Pine Bluff High School. That nod went to his older brother Sam, who had who earned a scholarship with at UCA. Monte began his college career with the Bears as a skinny walk-on...

Sam was certainly a fine athlete and played some good ball at UCA. Monte more or less came on like Pippen would later and just blow people away.

GoBears!!

I think they need to rename it to:

A-rkansas
S-ports
H-all
O-f
L-egends

I mean Monte isn't a Famer, he's a legend...NFL championships and all....

A S H O L

A rather vulgar acronym don't you think?
