Arkansas State coming to LR for a Spring scrimmage




UALR rebranded to now being called:



the athletic administration’s decision to market itself as “Little Rock’s team,” with “Little Rock” as the team moniker



and a recent article said this line:

quote:

As Arkansas-Fayetteville becomes more northwest focused with its teams, relegating its central Arkansas fanbase to low-level opponents in both major sports



Guess other AD's see Central Arkansas as a vulnerable area for UA-F, and are looking to cash in on the opportunity.

Don't be ridiculous. They can do whatever they want and the vast majority of folks there will still be Razorback fans.

I think we should schedule a game in El Dorado's Memorial Stadium every season. That part of the state has been producing more talent than Central Arkansas has lately.

Also our current University administration is closing doors in Texas and opening them to Arkansans. This will likely help the people neither in nwa or Central Ark attend UA, which will in turn drive donorship and interest from those areas

You're just so pissed off you don't live in NWA.

It's hilarious to watch your little angry obsession with NWA play out on here. Little Rock and Central Arkansas ain't that bad.

It's an obvious vacuum in LR. The other state schools are smart to capitalize.

I'm all for UALR fielding a football team to play in WMS.
