“With 19 sports and more than 460 student-athletes competing for the University of Arkansas, there is always a lot of exciting things going on with Razorback Athletics,” said Jeff Long, vice chancellor and director of athletics. “ArkansasRazorbacks.com is the primary source for up-to-date Razorback news and the official online home for our program. We are always looking for new ways to improve our web presence and give Razorback fans access to all the latest technology and information. I think our fans will enjoy all the new features and enhancements now available on ArkansasRazorbacks.com.”
The homepage now features a large image that rotates showcasing seven top stories and fans now have the ability to share stories on Facebook, Twitter and Google+ right from the homepage. One important addition to the homepage is the “Recent News” section, which will display 12 recent stories that are sortable by sport. This feature allows fans the opportunity to catch up on any news they may have missed from their favorite Razorback teams. Some of the other notable additions to the homepage are the live blog schedule, RazorVision video player and a social media widget.
In addition to the updates on the homepage, improvements have been made to the individual sport pages.
