re: Hogs Arrive in Dallas to Large Hotel Crowd

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.
