You don't have to grow up going to games anywhere to be a fan. I lived 6 hrs away from Fayetteville when I was growing up and went to 2 LR games and 1 Fayetteville game...ever. It never affected my families fandom at all. In fact it was seen as some kind of mountaintop in the distance that everyone aspired to go to for a game.

This is why so many South Arkansas kids are so pumped and loyal when they get an offer. They rarely ever go out of state because NW Arkansas seems like a different world compared to the areas South of Little Rock. This is what those who have never lived that far away from Fayetteville don't understand… it's like going to another state.

Southern Arkansas kids are pretty loyal. Outside of when Nutt was HC and a few kids from Warren went to Tennessee, have we lost out on anyone south of Little Rock that we offered?

Going to NWA is like going to another state. Like Missouri or Kansas. It's not 'Arkansas Folks', it imports from the midwest, Mexico and the Marshall Islands.

It's all pretty simple, Long has decided they don't have to have Central, South and East Arkansas support anymore, so frick 'em.

Well then, don't be surprised when statewide support wanes.
