As this experience unfolded, it seemed unimaginable to Rock that anyone would choose to become the captain of the Arkansas Razorbacks and Lady Razorbacks track and cross country teams. Nevertheless, he was it.
Practice was over for the day, and Rock was required to direct an apparently daily ritual that involved running miles of laps from the UA campus to downtown Fayetteville and back. This potentially endless process included a progressive state of undress for Rock. He wondered why he had never heard of such an insane tradition, apparently put in place by legendary but long-since retired Arkansas track coach John McDonnell.
All at once, late in the afternoon, Rock was at his house in Levy, and the sun was coming up. He ate a PayDay bar, established it was Friday morning, and then went back to bed.
