its yet another black eye for the UA to look down upon AState, who plays other sec schools but is not allowed, not good enough, or insecurity to play the UA.

We need to play ASTATE in LR and put this dog to rest.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Guy I know in high school had to wrestle a girl at a wrestling meet.

It's a lose-lose.

You win? Congrats man, you wrestled a girl and won. (Congrats Hogs, you beat the state's stepchild.)
You lose? Dude. You just lost a wrestling match to a girl. (Hogs, you just got your ass beat by the state's stepchild.)

End scene.


Now, let's hear your "good" reasons as to why we should play the howlin' wolves of the northeast?

You know that's a false equivalency right?  If the argument were to play UAPB an FCS team that would be the right comparison.

The correct comparison would have been "I don't know if there was ever a time when Toledo, Troy, ULM, UTEP, were interesting" since they are G5 schools as is Astate."
Little known fact, but prior to settling on Guantanamo, the Pentagon wanted to house terror suspects at War Memorial Stadium.  It was deemed to be cruel and unusual punishment and in violation of the Geneva Convention.

2. Exactly. Would you wanna play your sister?

okay i understand a fans perspective.   but loosing should not be a deterrent.   State plays P5 teams.

if my sister got paid $750,000, ...yes i would wrestle my sister

Wouldn't it be more like you paying $750,000 to wrestle your sister and you recouping none of that money? You're just paying to...wrestle your sister.

This is getting weird.

i think its all in state money.  if fans consider AState is a little sister, as your post suggested, its the wrong analogy in my opinion.  AState is a D1 school. from our state.  keep the money in state.

No one is scared of playing them. There's legitimately no benefit in playing them.

I'm also not sure you understand how conferences and divisions work in regards to scheduling.

Arkansas does not have a legitimate rival, not since Texas has it had a natural rival.  stAte would defintely be a game with emotions and Ark would win 90% of the time but the week of Florida A&M no one cares about football.  This would make for a fun week and keep money in state...  I bet you could charge Bama ticket prices and still fill it up and not have to give away 15,000 game week.

I'm a little surprised you can't see the reasoning behind why UA won't play AState. There is absolutely nothing to gain for Arkansas to play AState. Zero. No matter how entertaining that game would be to watch, it would do nothing but hurt the Hogs.

Like it was mentioned before. If UA wins big, the reaction is "Meh...they were suppose to." If UA wins with a marginal victory, the reaction is "Wow...did you see how well AState played and/or how poorly UA did vs the little bro." And if the stars aligned and AState BEAT the UA, the reaction would be unbelievably bad for the Hogs.

So, please tell me why in the world the UofA would WANT to play this game?

Arkansas pays NMSU a million to play, money going out of state. Nebraska pays ASU a million to play money coming into the state. Sounds like a push to me.

But under your scenario UA pays ASU a million  and it's a million out of UA coffers into ASU coffers . How does that help UA?

If ASU makes more playing out of state, and Arkansas clears more paying NMSU,then more money stays in state. Arkansas isn't going to play ASU in LR unless someone pays them $3m to play there, currently we've been paying.

I don't understand why people can't grasp this.   I rather play 12 power 5 teams with 2 home and 2 away noncons in areas high in D1 talent.  Sure we would get beat up but maybe it would also open up recruiting.  Nothing is ever going to change unless we have a population explosion.  There is always going to be a postion group that is going to be thin in one area and good in another but never a complete team capable to compete for SECC or NC.

Name a game they have given 15,000 tickets away, of course, I'm speaking of the University of Arkansas, not ASU as they have......

Precisely. UA pays $1 mill to play lesser teams. ASU gets payed $1 mill to play better teams. The money still goes where it would either way. This game does ABSOLUTELY nothing for UA. Would it be intriguing for fans? Absolutely. Does that mean I think it should happen? No.

Here's the solution.  Offer to play them in Little Rock, but the UA doesn't pay them any money.  That way, both sides get what they want.  The UA saves around a million dollars not having to pay an opponent, which covers their loss playing once a year in LR.  State gets to play UA, which is what they want.

LR peoples get a significant game every year.  Everybody wins.

I concur DeltaBoy...the age old reasoning behind the "not in a million years" is old.  I get the fact that if A-State wins whatever Head Hog will be lambasted to no end but it will definitely keep Arkansas money in Arkansas.  I would bet you my paycheck that the game will sell-out every time with ALL ARKANSAS FOLKS!!! 

hogmolar

This is why as a country we are so divided.  We all know that it is never going to happen, yet almost weekly someone starts a thread saying crap like this.  We are not in control of the situation and it is clear the the people who are have decided to not play an in state game.  There it is done.   Quit trying to divide people by posting this crap.  Same can be true for everything else that is going on in this country.  We as a people do not have a respect for authority.  Whether you like them or not they are in the position to make the decisions so that is that.  The best part is if you don't like it then you have the right to choose to not follow the Razorbacks, there are plenty of other teams to root for that play in state games. Or even better part of this country work to put yourself in a position to be the one making the decisions and then you can do as you please.

not only that but PAY ASU for the privilege

It amazes me how people can be on board with this and still call themselves hog fans.

Lets see i am going to engage in a lose lose situation and pay $750,000 to do it. ready go. WTH?

And where there are no positive outcomes for the UofA ? no matter the score, the excitement nothing would be a positive for the UofA. Only ASU has the ability to gain from this.
