Here's the message I got:


"You have reached the University of Arkansas athletics department. We are currently closed. Please call back Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm excepting university holidays. Thank you."


Don't believe me? 479-575-6533

Bro it’s cold as frick in Louisiana. I can’t imagine Fayetteville. I remember a few years ago they closed because icesickles that looked like stalagmites could fall and literally kill you right where you stood. No thanks.

What was the question you were hoping to get answered?

Fayetteville is shut down due to the weather. I'm not saying it is the correct response to the weather, but that's why you aren't getting an answer.

When I got up this morning it was -7 with a windchill of -18. We still have several inches of snow on the ground. NWA in general is shut down right now.

From Fayetteville's mayor
quote:

Friends,
I have been out this morning with staff. We started on the south end of the city. The main roads are anywhere from passable to clear as you can see from the pictures. We have some of the secondary roads passable, but more clearing needs to be done on them. With the sun out it will be much easier clearing the roads today. The high today will be 18 degrees. Tomorrow the high will be 39, so we will be able to get most of the secondary roads passable by sunset. The road crews will continue to work around the clock until all the roads are cleared! This snow storm has certainly been a challenge for all of us but the end is in sight!
That's all I have right now. I will report back later.
Until then everyone stay safe and warm!

You're just a trouble maker.

What was your random question?

You are a buddy, I'd bail you out of jail if you needed me too, but you are having one of your moments. Get yourself a nice cold beer from the fridge, watch folks crash on the icy roads from your house, and relax.

Don't make us send Piggi over to give you a talking too.

Just email your random stupid question. Remote work and all that on snow days. No need to navigate idiots who can't drive on ice just to man a phone.

This thread is almost as embarrassing as going up 20, slacking off, then choosing to miss a shot because you'd rather kick a guy in the nuts.

The university probably has caller id and knew it was the OP. Sent to the off hours voicemail.
