another Jeff Long fail....Thanksgiving SHOULD BE LSU WEEK in Little Rock! He wasn't able to keep the game where it belongs, because as usual, he had NO GUTS and was WAY out of touch with the majority of the fan base. Instead- he tried shoving a "rivalry" down our throat and we are stuck with a game that has ZERO tradition or meaning to our fan base. Mark my words, it will be the least attended and least watched game in Razorback football history. Some rivalry I tell ya :puke:

It was more LSU methinks. Either way - until something changes we simply lose to them earlier.

Oh boo hoo. Apparently hog fans can not get excited for games unless they are played on specific days. You can still go to the golf course and get drunk this weekend, since thats all most "fans' of LR games really care about anyway. Getting a handout from the Hogs and getting drunk on the golf course.

It was more Texas A&M than LSU, leveraging their position to get that game since they were losing the Texas game.

I'll never understand why Razorback fans need to constantly manufacture things to be upset about when reality is upsetting enough.

I wish it hadn't changed but the SEC wanted LSU/A&M on Thanksgiving weekend and Mike Slive > Jeff Long.

As for attendance, I remember going to the 1997 LSU game at WMS.  Cold and rainy and the Ford era ending.  I think announced attendance was 22,000+, which means it was probably 15-17,000.

Why do you (and a few others) ALWAYS turn a post into a smear of the fans?  The post was about the way Long mishandled the LSU tradition.

to escape reality. Reality is the UofA has no pull in the SEC. LSu and/or A&M said " hey we want to play each other on Friday after Thanksgiving" and the SEC, said " Sure ". But, to admit that means to admit the Hogs have no power. So, in order to think they are supporting a school that has power, they make up the excuse that Long did in the LSu after Thanksgiving game for some nefarious reason.

Because he did not mis-handle anything. The sec decided they would rather feature LSU/A&M in that slot. Just like a few years before the moved the LSU game to SAT for 2 years so they could show Bama/AUb on Friday.

Longs biggest mistakes happened in the last year or two, really the last 6-9 months. Before that, it was a bunch of little things that wouldn't have gotten him fired.

It's either the fans are terrible/ we're poor lil ole Arky and can't recruit / we've finished a season ranked in the top 25 just 5 times since joining the SEC/ or our high schools aren't good enough to make a decent football player. 

I'm thinking some of those are copied to a clipboard, just waiting on the next time to paste into the newest thread.

actually, in the case of the LSu game moving, it was none of those. As someone else posted above, LSU and A&M just ave more pull in the sec.

Has nothing to do with that at all. Remember, they moved the game to Saturday in 09 and 10 when BP was here. What it has to do with is the SEC was happy with it on Friday UNLESS they could find a better game with 2 more highly watched teams to put there.

Jeff Long did great with that situation.  He got the scheduling such that LSU played Bama before playing us.

Look I am not a JL fan, but about the only thing you could possibly blame him for would be communicating that he did all he could but lost anyway.

The SEC liked LSU vs. A&M as a better money maker, and nothing you could do to keep it unless LSU had also fought for it. And quite frankly LSU either didn't care about the "rivalry" or liked whatever incentives the SEC offered better, and so it was Arkansas fighting alone for the game.

Honestly I don't think Long could have done anything to keep this game on the day after Thanksgiving.

Long couldn't stand in the way of that train.  The league office wanted A&M/LSU on the last weekend because there are more eyeballs in Texas than in Arkansas.  It's that simple.  Long did just about the best anyone could do with that, and I don't really blame him for it.  In the battle between Jeff Long or anyone else in Arkansas versus Mike Slive, Mike Slive's going to win every time.  It's just a fact of the universe.

You had a good run from 1861-1864. Not enough depth for your team to win though.

Absolutely correct.  I don't blame Long at all for us losing the day after Thanksgiving game with LSU.  I don't think he had any idea we liked it that way, and I don't think he cared what we (fans) like but losing that date to A&M was a TV move.

Think this was one of the promises made to A&M to get them to join the conference? Wouldn't have been able to be done immediately, just had to wait a year or two to be fulfilled.

As well as Missouri losing the end of season KU game.  Out of the four teams we were the only ones who wanted to keep the game on that date.  One on three usually doesn't work in the SEC (unless you're Alabama).

One of the ways the SEC lured A&M.

Long did well in the negotiation since we had no choice but to change.  We managed to get LSU the week after they play Bama as a concession.

We can't even beat Missouri on a regular basis so why worry about playing LSU this week. The Hogs need to start beating Missouri on a regular basis first, get a winning record in the series ...   If people want Arkansas to play LSU again on the Friday after Thanksgiving then the Hogs need to be a team that contends in the SEC W.  That makes an Arkansas-LSU match-up much more appealing to the TV powers that be.  Or as Al Davis used to say, "Just Win Baby!"

Why didn't Jeff Long hire Houston Nutt instead of Odom as Mizzu football coach?  Because it wasn't his decision to make.  JL had no choice but to accept what TV networks, the SEC and LSU wanted.  BTW, he didn't chose Pepsi either.  Are some of you that out of touch or just trolls ?
