Agree. College stadiums are more electric.

In years when both teams were pretty good going into the game, like 2011 or especially 2016 when it was a night game, it seems as if Jerryworld had some juice. But I don't see how that wouldn't be mirrored as a home/home

Also, probably a good recruiting pitch for kids to see what they could be playing in at the next level after college.

As bad as Arkansas was last year that’s puts your team at an even bigger disadvantage.
Demand more home games.

I want a home and home. I like Arkansas’s campus.

Home and homes need to happen more often. Neutral sites in general just arent as electric.



Completely agree!

Arkansas should play Texas in hoops in Dallas every year
Solid idea. I got to see the Hogs play Texas in Houston back in 2016. Don't remember exactly why it was at a neutral court but it was a great time. American Airlines Center in Dallas is nice. Would not mind watching the Hogs play there at all.

Home/Home we play a record 7 games in Fayetteville for the first time in school history next year which is kinda sad

 We lose a game every year to A&M in Arlington

Every other year. Home & Away switches every year. We had 3 SEC games in Fayetteville last year Alabama, Vandy, & LSU. Ole Miss was in LR. Texas A&M only had 3 home SEC games that year too.

I don’t know anyone that wants to continue playing at jurrahworld. Except maybe a few ags based in Dallas.

Move A&M to home and home and our upcoming 4 games against Okie State to Dallas and try to sign a deal making that a longterm game played there.

Ideally we go home and away with A&M. The atmosphere is just better.

That having been said the SWC classic in Jerry's World is still a great idea... just move it to OOC games. Rotate A&M and Arkansas in there every other year and you can count the money.

They are close enough to make the trip to either campus. Whiny bastards. They can get over it.

Something like that may be what it takes to get out of the deal early, although Jerry would probably demand that A&M play a couple of neutral site non-conference games as well.

Or, we could just pass the hat, pay the $5 million liquidated damages, and tell Jerry to bite it. Probably not going to happen because the coaches seem to actually like it for recruiting. But, my hope is that ticket sales are so weak that the ADs opt not to sign an extension.

Due to the Little Rock game and the Aggie game, we only play 2 SEC games in Fayetteville this year.


They need to play home and home, screw Arlington.



This is the answer.

You guys need to only play shitty non-conference games in Little Rock, and that's only if you HAVE to play there.

Fayetteville is easily my favorite SEC road trip. Little Rock is one of the worst. There is no logic to playing games in Little Rock when your on-campus experience is so much better - and more profitable as well.

Home and home. Hate neutral site games to begin with, and I missed the chance to hit up Fayetteville while I was in school. Every buddy that went had a great time.

I remember when aggy started this series in Arlington and said it would surpass the TEXAS-OU game as the premier neutral-site college football game in the state.

That's a great point. Now that there's beer available in both stadiums, there's nothing special about it.
