I'll add one. Arkansas lost to "The Citadel" Sept. 5, 1992. I was in the stands. Ark fumbled the ball deep on the Citadel end, Citadel player scoops and scores. I was allot like those Ole Miss Students we saw last season on the 4 and 25 Hunter Henry pitch. Shock and disbelief. Result of the lost was the HC Jack Crowe was fired the next day, and Joe Kines assumed interim HC. Was a horrible season after that. Was years before the Arkansas program showed any life after that game.

What the Arkansas fanbase didn't know yet, was how little talent was on that team. The former HC before Crowe was Ken Hatfield who bolted for Clemson site unsent 1.5 year before Crowe was fired. So while the fall was coming, and it was so many factors that would result is the Arkansas crash, it was the Citadel game that destroyed the facade, with subsequent next morning firing 2 games into the season undoubtedly making it much worse.
