Oh yeah, I remember that well.

I was also at the last game in Kyle the last season of the SWC. Your students were drunk, brutal, and scary. Lots and lots of anger, towards us, the mascot, the cheerleaders, etc. I remember looking up seeing ice raining down from the second deck. I remember a particularly drunk and angry group who gave the razorback mascot hell ALL night, cursing, etc. I was an impressionable kid, though. It was an ugly divorce.

really? Because I was a student then. The conference at that point was frayed beyond repair and I think we all knew it was doomed. I don't remember any vitriol from anyone towards y'all though.

Obviously I can't say how you were treated but my own experience was that no Ags really blamed Arky at all. We all wanted to go to the SEC then too

Was a different time, was a pretty good conference for the era. Everything happening in NWA with all the growth, the move to the SEC, the infrastructure improvements. We no longer had to be tied to dirty stinking Texas.

Compared to the SEC, the conferences are similar in a lot of ways. SEC is better at disguising it's biases and giving the schools relatively equal footing. I'd say most old time Arky fans would say No it was not particularly enjoyable but it was the only thing we knew.
