Barrett is a friend that I've known since college. I've been listening to his music for more than a decade. I wrote the promotional review of his last album that appears on his website. So you could say I'm a fan.

I've watched him play at Grumpy's and Flying Saucer and Dugan's and everywhere else. Never paid for a show before last week when I happily did so to watch him at Rev Room.

He is a great talent and a good person. And a legitimately huge Razorback fan on top of all that. He's worked his tail off trying to get to this point and I hope this is where things take off. He will have earned it if so. He's worth taking the time to vote for if that's something you're inclined to do.

Maybe you don't see the wave as much in Fayetteville because it's more of a second half thing?

The NWA/ LR trolling is so tiresome. I've never understood it. I love both areas. I love going to games in both places. I cannot imagine not going to either location purely on principle. Plenty of people on both sides of the fence cutting off their nose to spite their face.

I think this compromise and the timing of it is brilliant. The money issue seems weird to me, though. WMS giving up a game and then not charging rent the last two years doesn't add up with the $1.2M payment, which makes it seem like a buyout.

I think it's possible that WMS is floating a balloon to see how alcohol sales affect its viability. That may help get it a bowl game. That may help ASU draw better. One big Hog game and an ASU game and a bowl game (or whatever) may help it hang on.

This compromise is probably a death knell, but I don't think WMS is necessarily throwing in the towel. Until the last game, I'll continue to enjoy the unique experience. Fayetteville is awesome and I love games in RRS, but I still have a terrific time on Gamedays in Little Rock.

SWAT training at WMS this morning... most firepower the Old Grey Lady will see all season. H/t to Forbidden Hillcrest.

I hate that some (SOME) from NWA feel the need to look down upon the rest of the state. I am in CA, and I love Little Rock AND NWA. I actually have season tickets to Fayetteville and not Little Rock. Never fail to have a good time at either place.

There are a lot of folks with a lot of money and a lot of intelligence in smalltown Arkansas. And as has been mentioned, a lot of folks with a lot of money in NWA that are FROM smalltown Arkansas. People should remember and be proud of their roots, in my opinion. I grew up a Lower
Arkansan, and I cherish that part of the state, even if it's not the right place for me to live out this part of my life.

I would love for the kid to have a huge game.

I guess Bama has a different narrative for what happened. In Roll Bama Roll's (Bama SBN site) preview of the Arkansas defense, the author mentioned that Bama fans may remember Philon's name as he was one "who decommitted from Alabama, ultimately signing with Arkansas."

Uh, sure. He "decommitted" after finding out at his fricking signing ceremony that he didn't have a scholarship. Boy, what a selfish a-hole.
