We had 68k for Louisiana

Last year LR failed to sell out ULM. We had a helluva lot higher expectations going into that one too

End of story

Louisiana was at least supposed to be a 'contest'.
Yet, still there were 5,000-6,000 empty seats.

Samford is more like a 'scrimmage'. You can polish a turd as much as you'd like, it's still not going to sell very well. In LR or Fayetteville.

(No real offense to Samford, I'm sure they are a fine institution, and within their own level of competition, a pretty fair team.)

Little Rock only wants big games.

They think we should play our biggest games in our smallest stadium.

Oh to have that sense of entitlement...

Spoke to John White today. He basically said that he has always thought games should be on campus for the students' sake. He said he saw too many students get hurt or killed traveling to Little Rock just to go see a football game that could have just been in Fayetteville.

It doesn't make sense that we still have fans that hold onto playing in that crap stadium. I think the "binding the whole state together" argument is pretty outdated too. U of A is getting students from all over the state and the world. Those south Arkansas hog fans can follow the team just as well as anyone else and even drive up to the Hill if they have the money.
