For those of you visiting RazorbackCentral.com and wondering why you’re arriving to WholeHogSports.com today, here’s an explanation.

The operations of the Morning News of Northwest Arkansas, which provided content for RazorbackCentral.com, has merged with the Northwest Arkansas Times, Benton County Daily Record and the Northwest edition of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. As a result of the merger, RazorbackCentral.com has been closed and forwarded here to WholeHogSports.com. The new company is called Northwest Arkansas Newspapers, LLC., and started operations Sunday morning.

For more information on the merger, including details on the print products and what you can expect with Razorbacks coverage in the future, click here.

What you’ve come to expect from the Slophouse blog and WholeHogSports.com in the past will continue. There are still a few things to sort out, so bear with us as we wade through this new venture and set things in motion. In fact, if you have any suggestions, shoot me an e-mail.

As for me, I’ll still be here on the Slophouse blog. I have taken on the duties as the online sports editor for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and Northwest Arkansas Newspapers, LLC.

If you have any questions, send me an e-mail at bmarcello@nwanews.com.
