Razorback Sports Network announcer Rick Schaeffer was hospitalized Saturday after suffering an undisclosed medical incident prior to Arkansas' game against Ole Miss at War Memorial Stadium.
Schaeffer, 67, received treatment at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, a hospital located adjacent to the stadium, and was resting comfortably Saturday night, according to a spokesperson for the athletics department.
Schaeffer left the press box just prior to the start of the RSN pregame show that began at 3:30 p.m., three hours before kickoff. Schaeffer is a host on the pregame show and also serves as a statistician on the broadcast.
Randy Rainwater, who hosts the Drivetime Sports radio show with Schaeffer each weekday, posted on Twitter that Schaeffer was "doing good (and) hopefully will be back with us on Wednesday."
Schaeffer was a sports information director for the Razorbacks from 1976-2000, and formerly served as a color analyst on Arkansas' football, basketball and baseball radio broadcasts. He now works as a communications director for Springdale Public Schools.
