Will be flying in with some friends. Looking forward to the atmosphere. I’ve never been to a game in Fayetteville but history indicates something special.
Too soon to start talking Arkansas?
- Thread starter WRLHookem
- Start date
In 1969, it was said that cars with Texas plates couldn't buy gas in AR.
Warning they are very protective of the main woman in their life the sister/wife.
Arky fans are a lot like Bill Clinton. They want you to see them as intelligent and sophisticated, but at the end of the day they're really just a bunch of drunk hill-billies that would stick their dicks in a tree knot hole, or any truck stop glory hole bathroom.
Never to early to talk in game week!!. Card needs to play smart and let his weapons win him the game. Defense needs to contain their QB he is a runner. Oline best protect Card or it's going to be a long night for us. We have to take the crowd out of the game. It's their biggest weapon.
You know I've been to a lot of TX games where they had tshirts that said tuck fexas. Not AR they spelled it right.
I don't know if the LHB is going to the game but those hillbillies have a white hot hatred for the LHB. Insults, taunts, 4 letter words, you name it. Looking back because we've dominated the rivalry they take it out on the LHB.
They're even worse with zebras. There are true stories of zebras needing an escort to get to the locker rooms alive. In one game a zebra made a bad call on a game winning fg and they chased him to the airport.
No matter how bad some OK fans can be they're not as bad as AR fans. At OK they're mostly parents and grandparents. At AR the bad fans start at age 6.
Wooooo pig suey is as bad a cheer as I've heard. But if you're AR thank goodness for aggie cheers.
In 2003 they beat us in Austin. A few years earlier they beat us in the CB now it's one thing when players do horns down but when the head coach does I'm furious. But Mark Brown wasn't mad about it I'm thinking wth is wrong with MB. The next time we played them in 2003 their star rb went all SEC and ran down the field with the AR state flag stopping at midfield.
In other words no TX fans should forget how they act when they win.
So let's go up there and teach them a lesson that they never seem learn.
I had to do several double takes when looking at the Razorbacks football program. Not good on paper. Here is what I found:
Head coach Sam Pittman's credentials:
He was a head coach only one other time before the AR job and that was for 2 years at a junior college where he went 0.500. Other than that, he has been an OL coach for like 30 years. The only thing I saw that seemed resume worthy was his 4 year stint as an OL coach under Kirby Smart. He had some sporadic AHC positions in addition to his OL duties, but not sure how much that matters. Last year was his first year at Arky and he went 3-7.
Offensive Coordinator: Kendall Briles. Probably the most legitimate coach on staff
Defensive Coordinator: Barry Odom
He spent a lot of time at Mizzou as a DC and then got hired there as a HC. He went 0.500 over 4 years.
Their QB KJ Jefferson (RS Sophomore) seems very average. Against Rice, he went 12/21 for 128 yards. Had a good TD run and had 89 yards on the ground. As a team they gained a total of 245 yards on the ground and 128 yards in the air. The allowed Rice to gain 81 yards on the ground and 227 yards through the air.
The only thing I conclude is that a loss will remove any optimism I have from the Lala win. A win against Arky will mean very little in gauging the quality of our team.

The Arkansas fan of today is a bit different than the old timers. UA is about 50% Texan and they do not remember the hate of the past. It's been 30 years. I was at the last SWC conference game including UA. It will still be nasty but it used to be really bad. UA has not had a good team in a long time and they are passive at this point.
Sitting in the Austin Airport right now and I hope we do to Arkansas what I want to do to all the pvssies here that aren't veterans that are hauling their "emotional support animals" onto this flight. We've become so fvcking soft in this country.
All true. The linked story is a few years old but it still accurately portrays the UA student demographics … significantly Texan. There are many TX high schools that now act as feeders to UA.
I know many current and recent UA students - all Texans - and they are more riled up about the annual A&M game than UT.

Bothers the hell out of me too. I once saw a lady (early 30s) patiently waiting while her dog took a dump in the middle of the terminal’s walkway as if she was on a neighborhood sidewalk. No embarrassment whatsoever. I didn’t stick around to see if she cleaned it up, I am assuming she did. It is an eery feeling that the USA with this crap and all of the other “rights” not to have our feelings hurt is like we are Panem and the rest of world countries are the Districts.
It all started going to shit when they started giving out participation trophies. That's the MO of the younger generation today.
Remember a story of parents of a Longhorn player that wanted to drive to Fayetteville for the game. They had friends in Arkansas that sent them Arky License plates to put on their car.
I think their best wr transferred to OU this summer so their passing stats don't surprise me.
At first I thought you were talking about some hot babes but looks like you were just talking about bitches. See what I did there?
I was at the game in 03’ at DKR when Matt Jones played. I seem to recall him being most of their offense that day, I know his running gave the Longhorn D some issues.
The Fayetteville environment is no different today than what we face at other locations. Any idea that Fayetteville is a scene from Deliverance is not accurate today. Maybe in the 70s yes, but not today.
Read my post from earlier … at least a quarter of the student body is middle to upper class suburban Texan. A tough football environment much like what we face elsewhere as a visitor … yes. Deliverance … no. But, then that doesn’t make for a good story.
Be sure to bring toothpaste and a toothbrush. They are limited in supply at Arkansas Walmart, bc they don't sell very well there.
Day trip, fly in fly out. I’m prepared for the game but also have an exit strategy. Jet door will be open when I get there.
Many of my aunts. Uncles and nieces all live in Ark and scream the pig chant. Most of them are good looking, still have their teeth and mary no less than one dna chain outside the family. Still fun to give them sh^t though.
Actually I don’t know yet. Was just told to show up at the Addison airport. Not my plane. Just got lucky enough for an invite. I just hope it takes off and lands safely.
