I'm cool with one game in LR but not an SEC game. I live in central ark and love the tailgating at WMS but I'd rather them move them all up north.

I'm all for not throwing away an opportunity to host kids on official visits.

Yea, same here.

But it's funny listening to people blame WMS, considering how we've fared better in WMS then RRS over the years.

I'm all for our program not wasting $2 million every time they play there also. Shite, 2 mil a game and they can't even get a functioning game clock. Little Rock is bad, and they should feel bad.

Move them all to Fayetteville! last year I tooted my horn differently, but its obvious now that it needs to happen. maybe one game in little rock every few years....maybe. As far as tailgating in NWA...that's on us. We can make that better. We need to make that better. Spend a little bit of time and money, get creative, we can turn It into something better.

The main problem with the tailgating in NWA (which I actually think is pretty good) is that we don't have the huge, rolling open spaces. It's pretty limited by geography.

I think it's kind of cool, though. We tailgate up on alumni row to the west of the stadium, and I think it's pretty unique and very Fayetteville to look up the hill and see all those tiers of different tailgates going upwards on the hill.

It's definitely not the same as the rolling golf course thing that just seems to stretch on and on.

Tailgating in Fayetteville has gotten exponentially better from what it used to be under the Broyles/Nutt days. It's not the WMS golf course, but it's hardly the wine-and-cheese nonsense some morons try to make it out to be, which it never was in the first place. The Gardens are nice, and tailgating on the hills adjacent to tPit has really been stepped up.

I am probably one of the very few people that actually would rather party on Dickson before the game, walk drunkenly through my old campus reminiscing, and find my seat just in time for pregame.

it is quite enjoyable to watch the early morning games at a spot like Farrel's, slam beers, then go to the game about an hour early. Say hi to a few folks and hit the bleachers.

I love tailgating as much as anyone, but it can be a hassle.

why doesn't the golf course get more recognition around the southeast? It's basically the exact same thing as the grove, only you can have music and grills and shite. I'd say it's better than the grove actually.

it is more fun than the grove, just more ghetto as well.

Once you get outside the reserve tailgating spots on the golf course it can get kind of redneck in a hurry. you won't find the fights and puking on the reserved spots either

Hell I walked over to the first hole and thought I was at a UAPB game for a sec.

It was good!

Friday night I met up with our band and BRM at EJ's for dinner and beers, then me and BRM went to Vino's for some local brews. My buddy got to the hotel around 5:30am Saturday morning and slept for an hour then we got up and headed out around 7. I wish someone would've told me NOT to try to get off at the fair park exit off the interstate...we moved about 0.3 miles from the exit ramp in an hour, so just said frick it and turned around. We ended up going up the other side and came up Markham and parked in a big lot across from a chicken and waffle place (can't remember the name) and a kfc/taco bell. Hung out there for most of the day then headed to the golf course around 1:30.


I tried to find porker face but couldn't. I went to that approximate area and only saw 1 "jacked up" truck but the owner looked at me like I was crazy when I tried to tell him who I was. We ended up meeting a dude who took us into their tailgate right there by the road and we had a great time.

Sorry! I don't come from that direction so I had no idea it was so bad.
