BLACK SHIRTS ON ESPN

[spehog]

Please tell me this was someone on this board...just came up on ESPN.

Woo Pig.

[hogs24]

I've seen the same facts in someone's sig here....

[hogmary]

If Arkansas were so "image conscious", HDN and SH would not be coaches here.

[football17]

Read various other threads on here... been the topic of conversation all day

[Oliver]

Sweet.  I was hoping that the T-shirt story would make ESPN.  With ESPN practically backing Miami's fans stance on wanting to fire Larry Coker, now they can see a real reason to want a coach fired.

[RazorWire]

A clue , a clue

Yep, the UofA is worried shirts will hurt their image, losing doesn't affect it at all.

[HedgeDweller]

Yep, you shirt folks ought to be real proud of yourself....

[WilsonHog]

Yep, you shirt folks ought to be real proud of yourself....

I wonder............just who is responsible for accumulating the numbers printed on the back of that shirt?

Well, the guy who made the shirt of course and made it public.  Houston Nutt's SEC record was marvelous before some guy changed it and put it on the back of a shirt for everyone to see.

[10thPlanet]

I don't own a T-Shirt, but I do spend money with the UofA. So I'm a little bit more concerned with the later of my statement, which is the UofA cares more about Shirts than Winning.

[Cresthog]

Wow...That is crazy. Ya know...I kind of get mad see this section of the article


"Larru, born and raised in Alma, said he gave up the shirts because he was worried about losing his front-row season tickets. "

[TechHawg]

His record is not the point here. The point here is that he is degrading our team, now in front of the whole country, while our head coach is trying to fix the problems.

[The Rub]

are you guys upset that the shirts made national news or that the shirts are factually correct?

Probably both....truth hurts!

Where are all those that come on here saying don't talk about players because that will hurt recruiting? I'm sure recruits love to see crap like this on ESPN and would love to come to Arkansas. Hypocrites.

[98hogs]

Maybe Houston can catch the wind right and blow this story a yard short

[HedgeDweller]

And who is disputing the 'numbers'?  Nobody that I have seen.  That is public information that anyone that cares already knows...
More great 'positive' publicity for the state.

If he really believed in what he was selling he should have manned up and not gave in. He got punked out by the UA. What a puss.

His name is Pseudorabies. He's a global MOD here , tell him to his face big man. He's at all the tailgates.

It's funny to me people like Mississippihog are on here picking on Caleb for having these shirts made, and he's too biased to see what's really going on here.  The UA is bullying a fan because he's not pleased with the coach and let's it be known.  Do you think the money he was profitting from those shirts was more than the amount he donates to the program every year for his season tickets!?!?

This is bogus, people, wake up and pull your head out of the haze.  This program thinks they are bigger than the fans.....I mean slaps!  Without those slaps, there is NO program!!!!

Good post. However , the U of A knows that the uninformed fan is it's greatest ally. They would gladly take one MississippiHog over 10 people that are unhappy with the state of the program.

I guarauntee if we had not got Mitch to commit here we would not be having this discussion at all ...

It's okay to put the record or whatever on there, putting HDN's picture is what crossed the line...

[Hawgz4Life]

well said, three.

[williamsB]

with FACTS on Butch Davis that just told all his negative things, and make fans not want him?

Or is he perfect and has no negatives?

Just wondering.

BTW, if I knew a coach could get Bledsoe to play hard, that is who I am for

I understand what crossed the line, but don't think for ONE SECOND, they wouldn't try this stuff if his picture wasn't there.  Did you catch the part in the article about selling it on UA property, that's what they would have hit him with.  AND, from knowing some of what was going down after this, Caleb offered to take HDN's picture off, and the UA said they'd come after him anyway, UNLESS he stopped producing the shirts altogether.  That's where I have the problem.

[football17]

How has this thread survived? This has only been mentioned in at least 3 other threads throughout the day that the story made national media...

[hogfan13]

You go man...NATIONAL ATTENITON

[HedgeDweller]

You go man...NATIONAL ATTENITON

You have a picture of Paul as your sig.  He was a great man and I appreciate you honoring him...  But I can imagine how embarrassed he would be by the 'shirt' deal.

Let's not start trying to figure out what the Late Great Mr. Eells might feel or think.

[WilsonHog]

Maybe while we're at it we could imagine what Orville Henry thought of Nutt.

Oh, wait.........no imagination is necessary.

[PIGINAPOKE]

I support Caleb !!

Who are you to call people names.  You don't even know him.  You should really be careful about who you talk crap about.  He is friends with many people on this board and is a mod on here.

PM me Caleb, I want the screen image to take to the shop for my own

Fixed it

[HogDart]

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this Caleb Larue was roommates with one of my fraternity brothers my freshman year at UCA. He was a pretty crazy dude, and I can totally see him trying to pull off something like this. Way to go that is hilarious!!

[The_Bionic_Pig]

For a half a second I thought this post was referring to the Nebraska Defense "Black Shirts" 

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

I propose changing from Black T-Shirts to Black Mini Skirts.  The list on the Front HDN's likeness on the back.

I dare Scott Varaday to ask any lady to take off the skirt at a game.  Sell them strictly for cost.  We at Hogville will pay the set up.

If he or a crony does approach a woman at the game the Female Fan can just reply "Were you looking at my A$$"

[BassinHawg]

I bet that all the "National" attention about this is not completely over yet.

I wouldn't be surprised to see CBS use it as one of the stories leading up to the Auburn game next week.

[Buck Ocean]

I love this part right here guys:

"Larru said his average profit was 18 cents per shirt and that making money wasn't his major goal."

Ha Ha!!! That is the best quote any fan could ever give regarding his displeasurement with his team.  Randy Rainwater=Kudos!!!!!!!!     This is how it should be done.  My man says that yeah he printed up the shirts, but the delivery of the information on them was critical.....and obviously it worked because the red-coats over there at the University peed britches when they seen 100% facts on the back of a t-shirt.  Thats the best siloutte of Houston's head I've ever seen though....the headset, oh its crunk.

[pi]

is there anyway to see the picture of HDN used on the t-shirts?  that is, without breaking any copyright laws?  i mean, like send it to my email or something?  i never got to see the shirts...

[LZH]

Caleb, I wasn't too sure how comfortable I was with the shirts to begin with.  But you have EVERY right to do your thing.  +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I realize HDN's likeness is probably against the law according to their rules, but other than that...I think we all should pitch in and help you take this to court (Supreme Court if necessary!)

Brilliant!  Good for you.

Now, I think it sends kinda a bad message to recruits...or does it?  Maybe it shows that we won't stand for mediocrity anymore.

I, as well as many of us, could see this coming.  F*ing 'A', brother.

Oh, BTW, how dare you make $0.18 profit off of these shirts!  Shame, shame!

Don't think for one minute this hasn't gotten the attention of the PTB!

Rock on!

[ckhawgu]

Just start a not for profit organization and take donations to run off prints of these shirts. Then just give them away.... It could happen!

[Buster Hog]

Well you shirt people had a good day you made it on ESPN.   I hope you are all proud of yourself.

[HogasaurusRex]

Very proud, Hope you guys felt that huge gust of mediocre wind rufflin your lil ostrich tailfeathers; it was the truth.
