I quit reading when I saw that. The guy clearly doesn't have a clue.

None of the guys in the state sports media do, especially guys like Nelson and Jim Harris.

Our state sports media, albeit like most in the SEC, is primarily comprised of middle-aged white guys who cling to the past and who aren't very good at both accepting inevitable change and understanding the nuances of modern day college athletics (money). They'll hem and haw about how moving games to Fayetteville will "divide the fan base" and how the Hogs will "lose the support of Central, East and Lower Arkansas," all in a transparent effort just to preach to the choir that is their dwindled readership of other middle-aged white guys who also don't understand modern day college athletics and probably haven't set foot in Razorback Stadium in years (if ever).

Mind you, these are the same dim bulbs who spent the better part of a half decade pontificating about how Houston Nutt was the best coach that we'd ever get and that we'd never get a big name coach to come here.
