who is this Jim Harris and why does he hate Arky?
quote:


The 10th-ranked team in the nation, according to the preseason coaches poll, and a program fresh off an 11-win season with two Heisman Trophy candidates on offense can't sell out all its games, even the two scheduled for 55,000-seat War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.

No, Arkansas Athletic Director Jeff Long won't be lining up the sure-fire sellout game for Little Rock in scheduling Arkansas State for War Memorial Stadium, now or anytime soon. But Long believes his program ought to be good enough to sell out War Memorial no matter who the opponent might be.

He told me that last year, when at least 2,000 seats went unused before the second game of the season, against New Mexico. One ugly clump of vacancy was situated right behind the south goal posts.

The good news for Arkansas Razorback fans is that they've bought every seat available for the Alabama and LSU games in Fayetteville this football season. Arkansas fans recognize college football powerhouses and will turn out en masse to see their Hogs play them. And that's about it

Why would anyone want to drive all the way to the northwest corner of the state, pay for parking, have a crappy tailgate experience, pay for upper deck seats, get stuck in traffic on the way home if you stay the whole game or buy a hotel for the night, when you could avoid all that and see a much better view of the game from your big flat screen television from the comfort of your or your friend's living room?

Dr. RC, I remember Arkansas State beating the Aggies in Kyle Field about 4 yrs. ago. You really belong in the SEC.

Dr. RC, Remember this? The Day A&M lost the National Championship, I was there... A&M SUCKS... You were favored that day!
