Say the season doesn't go really well do you fear any recruits going elsewhere


This will happen even if the season went well. There is always turnover and de-commitments in college football. I do think it can be worse if we don't produce though. However, we will still get guys no matter what. If one kid drops, another will take his place, and I have no doubt they will likely be better than the recruits we were seeing in past years due to the SEC.

If anyone had a doubt if moving would help, I would hope our success so far would prove it.

No, because I think most of the recruits who are committed to us are looking forward to lots of playing time.

Nice. I think this kid could be great in our offense. Good size and strength.

Assuming we get Samples also, even worst case scenario we don't get RSJ and Griffin doesn't qualify, we still have a badass WR class. And it could be off the charts if some things go our way.

What is the best section for a visitor to get tickets for our game this year?

I only sit lower level.

Paid almost $300 a ticket for 30 yard line seats @Bama last year but was surrounded by nothing but Bama fans and I know at Arkansas we have a lower level section for visitors.

LINK

The Arkansas lower level visitor seats should be in 149 which are terrible seats. 148 and 147 are a little better though still not good at all and you would be close to the Arkansas section (but also under part of the student section). 141-148 are all under the student section. The other side is mostly older fans and more relaxed.

Our fans are pretty nice all around and I seriously doubt any would give you trouble if you act normal, there would obviously be a higher probability of something happening if you're close to the student section.

Thanks for your help.

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on those Section 144 Row 1's for $164 each.

Cheap, and right behind the Arkansas bench and looks to be around the 30-40 yard line.

If you can get about 15 rows off the sideline, you will have perfect seats. Row 1 is always nice but you might have a hard time seeing everything.

My friend has 45-50 yard line seats on the other side about 30 rows up and they are amazing. Right close to where Bush Sr, and the governor sit.

Look forward to hosting

Hard to do for Arkansas. The only general fan base I have encountered that is worse is Tech. Not to say they all suck, the ones that are native Texans are usually nice, but Arkansas fans are some of my least favorite.

The ones I met at Jerryworld that were clearly alumni (well spoken, dressed respectably and not wearing ridiculous Hog noses) were fine, but the sidewalk fanbase was definitely bad which is what I would expect or have encountered from every fanbase.

I honestly always had fun with Tech fans because I would just dish it right back at them and they know how to party.

The road games I have went on our traveling fan base is usually very nice and respectful and some great people.

I've only been to Bama/Vandy/Ole Miss the last couple of years, me and a group of friends started a tradition of going to whatever road game is on my birthday weekend (Sept 24), last year the Bama game was on my birthday, this year A&M is the closest on the 29th.

Certainly can't speak for everyone though, but I wasn't born or raised in Arkansas. Somewhat a plus, somewhat not as a fan.

Back to the actual topic before the thread was hijacked:

Currently, on Rivals, A&M's point total is 2,061. This includes the fact that Sezer has no rating yet.

If you take 2,061 points and put that with any of our previous years' Rivals classes, they would be rated:

2012 - 7th
2011 - 8th
2010 - 8th
2009 - 9th
2008 - 12th
2007 - 7th
2006 - 12th
2005 - 6th
2004 - 8th
2003 - 6th
2002 - 10th
