I met Scott Hastings (and the rest of the Razorbacks) the week after US Reed's incredible half court shot in the NCAA tournament. I was just a kid eating lunch at Bowen's Restaurant in the NW Arkansas mall when some really tall guys walked in. I saw Scott duck to avoid some of the lighting, I knew who they were. My sister and I got a napkin or two and asked for autographs from Scott, US, Mike Young and the whole gang. I will never forget it. I currently pastor in Pennsylvania but one wall in my office is dedicated to the Razorbacks and on that wall is a greasy napkin from Bowen's with Scott's name on it. Thanks for a great memory.
