Sure, go ahead and drive down to Little Rock. North Little Rock in the area of Verizon Arena is the nicest part of Arkansas.

The nicest part of Arkansas? It's one of those states I never think about except when Missouri plays Arkansas. Kind of like North Dakota and Oklahoma. I would put those 3 last on my list of states to visit, though I have driven through a 70-mile stretch of Arkansas on my way to and from New Orleans many times. And that stretch of I-55 has always been the worst.

About the game Friday: Missouri has owned Arky for a while now. The two coaches are still getting their feet wet. I'm more optimistic about the outcome, now that the defense has tightened up, but I won't be surprised if Arky turns the tables on Missouri this year.
