Paul Eells is and will always be missed. And RIP to the lady who died in the other car.

RIP to Mr. Eells.

I quickly read the title and only saw "terrible day in Arkansas" so my mind automatically defaulted to the following:

That was the best pic and press conference ever and had to admit he had his girlfriend on the back of his motorcycle.

The state mourned his loss as much as anyone I’ve ever witnessed. I’d never heard anyone speak ill of him which is rare.

My wife met his wife at a shop after his passing and she couldn’t believe the outpouring of love for him. I believe both were that humble.

He is missed, even today, and will never be surpassed or forgotten.



The day grown men cried.

Bud Campbell was another good one. Also died in a car accident.

Grew up listening to him do Vanderbilt basketball and football on WSM 650 out of Nashville.

Ironically his first game calling Arkansas football was against...Vanderbilt.

Holy Smokes!
