Arkansas men’s basketball coach Eric Musselman and his wife, Danyelle Sargent Musselman, did an interview with “The Field of 68” podcast on Friday.
Rob Dauster asked Danyelle, “What’s it like being married to him in Fayetteville? I got to imagine — those fans, one, they’re crazy; they’re out of their minds. It’s crazy in a good way, right?”
“We don’t go out much,” Danyelle said. “We live in a little gated neighborhood, and that’s kind of like our sanctuary. We honestly, we don’t go out much. He tries to go with me to Walmart, and he’ll be like, ‘Oh, I’m going to come to Walmart with you.’ If you go to Walmart, it’s going to take me three times as long, because everyone in Walmart wants a picture, you know. He goes to work, he comes home, and that’s pretty much his life. But he’s happy with that. He likes it.”
Walmart’s global headquarters are located in Bentonville, Arkansas, so it’s a popular place in Arkansas.
Eric and Danyelle talked about a range of other topics on the podcast including Eric’s approach to recruiting and him taking his shirt off during celebrations.
“At this point, he’s done it so many times it’s not really shocking,” Danyelle Musselman said of Eric taking his shirt off to celebrate. “What was shocking is the game that we beat Auburn, he hadn’t taken it off in years. I thought maybe he retired that act. And the crowd had rushed the floor. It was so crazy. I wasn’t anywhere near him. I’m like over in a corner, and I look up and he had the arm sling and no shirt. Now that concerned me. He was bopping along. That concerned me.”
