I can't think of any offhand I'd say to expressly avoid.   

I know you were talking about food, but I'll just say to avoid Bottoms Up 😂

I'm sure it depends on the people. We sat around several Arkansas fans at War Memorial in Little Rock the last time we played there and the people around us were super nice....

I believe Andy Blount put us up 7-0 in that game.....

Normally it’s the opposite. The Little Rock fans are known for being more drunk and hostile while the Fayetteville fans are usually more laid back.

I think its very possible that UNT beats Arkansas. I just dont think its likely. Something will happen to go in Arkansas favor and it will hurt us. But regardless atleast A&M will still blow em out along with the rest of the SEC lol

I don't really see A&M being a blowout, 3 of the last 4 games have gone into OT and that was with Bielema lol. Ole Miss and Vanderbilt at home are chances for a win. But anything over 6 wins may be a stretch.

Meh. Sort of, sometimes. 

They will have virtually no one from the 2014* class on the team any longer. So we'll start at the 2015 class...

2015 - 11th

2016 - 9th

2017 - 10th

2018 - 14th

2019 - 10th*

 

*I didn't start on the 2015 class for the sake of hiding a quality class from the narrative. They were 11th that year. 

*Current recruiting class. They have a couple programs behind them that will almost certainly leap frog them before NSD. So this class could be anywhere from 11th-13th. 

So, they are recruiting SEC talent because their little logo on their uniform says they are in the SEC. But they aren't an uber talented team by any stretch. 

Nevertheless, this will be a difficult game because they have better and more athletic OL and DL than we do. And there truly lies the problem. I think we can give them a run and if we can jump early, we could run away from a vulnerable team. 

The problem is a top 10 class in the SEC is usually still a top 25 class nationally lol. There are by my count 4 current starters this year from the 2014 class but most have moved on (Cole Hedlund was also in that class). The 2018 class was ranked last because we could only sign 16 players, but it was more like 11th in average recruit ranking. Should have our best class in 10 years with the 2019 class.

Anyway, I agree with what the original video is saying. It seems like everyone nationally is talking more about the game @ Colorado State, but they are going to be one of the most inexperienced teams in college football this year. I could see our game being a shootout.

I secured my visiting section ticket yesterday and my AirBnB this morning. I'm officially way too excited for this weekend jaunt to potentially upend the Hogs.

It's been four or five years since I was up in that part of the State, and then it was to officiate my best friends' wedding.

Any particular bar or spots folks have their eye on to turn into Mean Green central? I'm thinking of JBGB's, Dickson Street in general, and then visiting Crystal Bridges art museum that Sunday on my way out.

Those are the two main things people do when they visit. NWA has a ton of stuff to do outdoors but you probably won't be here long enough for that.

For visitors that have kids, there is the Daisy Airgun Museum in Rogers. And the Walmart Museum is also in Downtown Bentonville and has an old school ice cream shop attached to it. Of course there are things like Dave & Buster's and we're getting a Topgolf but those probably aren't anything you won't find in the DFW area already.

You can find out a lot more about the area here: https://issuu.com/rlacc/docs/2018goodlife_web

Cowboys fans may find it cool to check out our Student Athlete Success Center that's only a few years old (below) and we have a lot of historical stuff that talks about Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson from when they played here. Also you'll only be the second game since we've renovated the new north endzone and you'll be able to walk around and watch the game from the patio style concourse if you want to. Before, you couldn't go around the stadium 360 degrees from the inside and it was a bit of a pain in the ass.

Terrible AD hire - if he couldn’t get it done at Arkansas with all their resources why in hades will he at KU?

does Long have any ties with Littrell?  Will he just hire Bielema?  What a cluster.

He and Les Miles are friends lol.

The Petrino situation turned out to be the beginning of the end for him.

I wouldnt sit in enemy territory if I were you. My in-laws are all Razorback fans and have been to a couple games at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock and they are rowdy individuals. You think UTSA fans are bad, UA fans make UTSA fans look like choir boys. 

Most Arkansas fans would tell you, the Little Rock fans are completely different than the Northwest Arkansas fans.

Bentonville/Rogers is much closer. They are in the next county to the north and it's maybe a 20 minute drive away from campus.

Probably more expensive though. I would rather stay in Bentonville/Rogers as far as stuff to do and a nicer area, but if you’re just going to the game and aren’t interested in anything else I would just stay in Fort Smith and save an extra 45-minute round trip coming from the south.
