Wow, that sounds like a great deal for real Razorback fans and their kids.

Oh it's a great deal. Just gives me Chad Morris desperation vibes.

Also makes me wonder about season ticket sales next season.

I know it’s extra $30K or so but why even have those seats?

ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS

CBS Sports Midseason Grade: D

Arkansas ended the first half of the 2023 season by matching its worst losing streak under fourth-year coach Sam Pittman. The Razorbacks have lost four straight with three of those defeats coming by one possession. The slump likely continues with a trip to Alabama in Week 7. Star running back Raheim Sanders has missed multiple games because of injury and dual-threat quarterback KJ Jefferson has struggled with only 136 yards on 82 carries. If there is a positive takeaway from the first six games, it is that the Arkansas defense is giving up 25.3 points per game, compared to the 30.6 it allowed last season.

Arkansas
Let's not sugarcoat things: This has been an extremely disappointing season in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The Razorbacks are 2-4 overall and winless in the SEC despite having one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the country -- KJ Jefferson -- and a running game that has been less-than-stellar. Despite some injuries, this is not the Razorbacks team many expected. If there is a silver-lining, it's that the defense has progressed from "horrific" last season to "average" this season. Grade: D

After starting at 2-0, Arkansas finds itself in the midst of a four-game losing streak and an 0-3 start to their SEC slate. With that being the case, ESPN’s Chris Low believes the Razorbacks might not take much more before they implode from the frustration.

Low spoke about the Hogs’ struggles during an appearance on ‘McElroy and Cubelic In The Morning’ on Wednesday. He felt like how close Arkansas has been in each of their four losses isn’t helping them as it’s becoming more and more defeating.

“They’ve had some close losses, they’ve been in games and they just haven’t been able to break through. I think it’s hard,” Low said. “You look at it and you think at what point does that start to break a team? When you’ve sort of been fighting, you’ve been clawing, you’ve been going through this tough stretch of games but you just haven’t been able to pull out wins.

“I would think that’s probably where they are right now, sort of teetering, because they haven’t been able to sort of translate that fight and that grit into wins.”

Arkansas’ four losses have come by an average of just over seven points as three of the four have come by a touchdown or less. They held leads against each of the quartet of opponents in BYU, LSU, Texas A&M, and Ole Miss while remaining competitive in each until the very. Still, none of those matchups went into the win column for the Razorbacks.

It’s not getting any easier for the Hogs either. For all their troubles over the last month, their next task is as hard as it gets with a road trip to Tuscaloosa to play No. 11 Alabama on deck.

That’s why, coming out of this weekend, Low will be keeping an eye on Fayetteville to see how Arkansas reacts to their latest loss and season as a whole.
