This is pretty much an indictment of the Arkansas fan base as a whole, save those who actually went to the game.

Hierarchy of excuses:

1) Little Rock/War Memorial Stadium suck.

Well, that's just like your opinion man. As Lieutenant Daniel Taylor aptly stated in Forrest Gump, "So, you boys are from Arkansas, huh? Well, I've been through there. Little Rock's a fine town." Sure, WMS is no Razorback Stadium, but it isn't nearly as bad as what people make it out to be. Vanderbilt Stadium and Vaught-Hemingway are turds as well. Hell, as recently as 2013 the bathrooms at Kyle Field had dirt floors.

It's pretty clear that Little Rock games are done for, so why not show up and support your team?

2) The weather looked bad.

Grow a pair Sally. You know where the weather looked bad all week? Houston. Those fine people have the right complain about the weather. If you let a few rain drops keep you from attending a football game, you need help. The weather was fine actually. A pleasant 75 degrees at kickoff. Far better than oppressive heat that I've experienced in years past.

3) But it's Florida A&M.

Yeah they suck and they can't even get their jerseys right. You know who else couldn't get the jerseys right? Vanderbilt in the 2014 opener against Temple. But wait, Derek Mason actually got the okay from the SEC office to wear those stupid jerseys. The jerseys were the only thing he defended that night. Lost 37-7. Yuck.

I don't care if it's Florida A&M or Texas A&M. If it's the opening week of college football, show up.

4) But it's a Thursday/work night/school night.

Are Thursday night games ideal? No. But they are played all across the country at junior highs, high schools, colleges, and in the NFL. Sorry the game wasn't scheduled at your convenience.

Oh blow it out your arse.

We've explained, in exhaustive detail, why the turn out was what it was. You don't like it? We don't care.

To be honest I doubt the turnout will be much larger for the next game in Little Rock because once again we will be playing an FCS team in Vanderbilt.
