Maybe they stopped on the way to let the players stretch and piss in a somewhat legit restroom. Besides, no one wants to be the person who shits in the bus's toilet.



If they are driving 55mph with road construction and I was on that bus I'd make them stop also, ha.

I'm just having a little fun with you all but in all seriousness put a serious beating on KSU.

Thanks.


I love pressure. ;0)

Bobby has our new DC rallying the troops for a reason. He doesn't want to lose this game.

LSU 0-1 all time vs Missouri.

Damn, I didn't realize we have ever even played Missouri. I do remember y'all losing the Big 12 championship game in 2007 which sent us to the BCSNCG. Good times, good times

Welcome to the board though. It's nice to see some Missouri and A&M fans starting to pop up

Disagree completely.

65% of the University of Arkansas student body is from Central Arkansas which is 130 miles away from Memphis. It's by far the closest of the capital or big cities to Memphis.

You do realize Little Rock is 70 miles closer to Memphis than Nashville, TN and Jackson, MS, right?

I'm not even including West Memphis which is Arkansas.

To say LSU has more Alumni and fans in Memphis than Arkansas is not true. LSU grads have Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Houston to go to before even considering Memphis not to mention they are much closer in Mileage.

Nice try though.

It's the 3rd largest Alumni base behind Memphis and Dallas this is from the University not myself. Not to mention Arkansas had many players from Houston in the old SWC who ended up going back to Houston.


That may be true. One of Alabama's largest alumni groups, outside of the state of Florida or Georgia, is in Dallas. However, I never see Alabama fans when I'm in Dallas. New Orleans is another example. A fast growing Alabama alumni base there, according to the Alumni Association's statistics, but I don't see them out in force like you're suggesting for Arkansas (in Houston) in this case. I live here in Houston (Katy/Cinco Ranch). I rarely see something other than the Big 12 schools or LSU.

I had a couple of fraternity brothers from Sugarland and a few other friends all north of downtown.

Their are plenty of them but they aren't always wearing Razorback gear. I would include myself in that category out here in Los Angeles.

The same could be said for Alabama in New Orleans. I'm not debating that but I was there a few months ago before driving up to Tuscaloosa and I saw 2 or 3 Alabama fans nothing special. I did see 2 Hog fans on the same trip.

Side Note: Why do you think Arkansas is so excited? Houston and Dallas fan basis get to see Arkansas play back in Texas again which opens up new checkbooks back to Arkansas.

My gawd you arkytards as a fan base are just as delusional as ku. Hilarious and annoying at the same time. We are in the SEC now, so I will root for all SEC teams, except maybe you turds. If ya lose, I definitely won't and quite possibly

Actually, there's a lot of truth to this, especially with Dallas. It's been that way as far back as I can remember. The Univ. of Arkansas gets a lot of students from Dallas, and always has.

It's not so much people living in Dallas like some think, it's just that Arkansas fans are known to take over Dallas for bowl games/basketball games dating back to the old SWC days.

In fact, the SWC Basketball Tournament used to be held in Dallas every year, and the venue (Reunion Arena) was known as Barnhill South.

The passion of Arkansas fans for their Razorbacks often overran the confines of SWC basketball venues, so much so, that Reunion Arena in Dallas (annual site of the SWC postseason tournament) was deemed "Barnhill South" (after the Razorbacks' on-campus arena) based on the numbers and intensity of Hog fans present.

I wasn't alive yet, so yes, Wiki was my friend for that Info.

Hog fans LOVE Dallas.

Not to mention that it got that way during the Nolan Richardson - Eddie Sutton era. Winning will do that.
