Contrary to popular belief, things DO change in Arkansas, however incrementally. In the two short decades since LSU last visited Razorback Stadium, Hog fans have experienced three bitter losses in Atlanta, two Miracles on Markham, and one season during which we were literally hanging on by a (hanging) toe. We have feuded bitterly amongst ourselves when we brought back a favorite son to be our coach, and also when we sent off a favorite son to be our president. And amazingly, many of us become the most passionate and spew the most vitriol when we talk about where to play the damned football games. Especially this LSU game. read more >

So, why wouldn't Arkansas and Bobby Petrino also do this, since it's well documented that the Razorbacks are loved throughout the state but are situated in the far northwest corner, darn-near in Oklahoma/Missouri/Kansas? The answer is that North Carolina and Virginia are in the Atlantic Coast Conference, and Arkansas is in the Southeastern Conference, which doesn't allow the practice. read more >
