Petition Arkansas/LSU in Fayetteville not Little Rock

[humphrey]

Go ahead and do it. Burn the bridges you have with the coaches in Central Ar.....

I really thought the name was The University of Arkansas.......  Not University of Northwest Arkansas.....  But They would lose some big Time Boosters... Really Big...

You're absolutely right, it IS the University of Arkansas.  If you want to see a game, you can drive to the campus and watch one.  If you don't want to drive to the campus, you can watch the game on TV, listen to it on the radio, catch the updates on Hogville, or do something else.

But, you are still correct.  This is the University of ARKANSAS, not the university of LR and the university of your front lawn. 

Heck I have to watch the games on TV anyway.... I am gettin married got a new car and a new place...I am BROKE!!!!!!!!!!  But still you say move it now but remember that when the Next DMac,MH, or JA leaves the state. When every school in Central Ar maybe even further Turns into Warren...

I'm not sure that that sentence even makes sense.  But, anyhow, we wouldn't be having this recruiting issue if we had a coaching staff who were effective recruiters.  The University of Michigan draws fans from all parts of Michigan, including those in the Upper Peninsula, which is 500 miles from Ann Arbor!!!  They get recruits from all over the state, plus guys from Texarkana and farther!  I don't hear anyone suggesting that they play in Ludington, do you?

If our coaching staff effectively recruits, then we will have the players, expecially when we get rid of that dump in LR.  If they choose to leave the state, we need to get a coach who can effectively recruit.  A number of good players have left because they don't want to have to play in that dump in LR.

[JAHOGS]

Who do i sound like?

"I for one will stop going to the games and take all of my money out of the program" if they quit playing the LSU/Arkansas game in Little Rock!!!

Plus Uca will pass U of NWA in numbers student wise... And Then U of NWA will be like ATM...

Only if UCA hires HDN.

So now we have WMS Huggers and WMS Darksiders?

[The_Champ]

 
Playing Ark in Little Rock is a dump. We try to make this a big rivalry so I think the best thing to do is play the game on Arkansas's campus. The stadium I hear is really nice.

agree or disagree

disagree the pre-game atmosphere at little rock is amazing

Thank YOU! Little Rock is to Arkansas like Bear Bryant is to Alabama

Hey Hey Hey
We got our coach we don;t need a new one! Go CC

[Little E]

Agree.

It's RETARDED to play home games away from campus.

(Don't give me the Red River Shootout as an example.)

Agree.  All the home games should be in NWA. 

[JAHOGS]

Agree.

Are you guys the same ones that are saying that i will not attend a game this year cause of who we got as coach? But then you want every game in NWA?

Whoa there Tiger...not quite.  Little Rock is sort of a dump.  That's like saying Memphis is the greatest city in Tennessee!

We will trade you HC for HC.

Do we go to games for pre game hype or to watch the Hogs.  RRS holds more true fans than WMS holds party goers.

[Nutts and Bolts]

Agree, bring all game to Fayetteville.. And can ya bring us a new coach too?

[Little E]

AMEN!  And I'm not even religious.

[hogfan2286]

It is worth keeping games in LR for recruiting alone, the amount of quality kids we have gotten out of Central Arkansas over the years is unbelievable. Part of the reason those kids go to UA is because their friends and families have an opportunity to see them play.

Q- Where is Darren's favorite place to play?
A- Little Rock

[JAHOGS]

It's so funny that you guys want all the games in Fayetteville put then turn around and say im not going to any of the games. Why does it matter, where the game is PLAYED?
It kinda sounds like 3-5 year olds. I don't want it, ......now I do cause they want it, .......now I don't.

As long as the Hogs recieve most of the media attention in central Arkansas they will have a built-in advantage when it comes to recruiting central Arkansas.

[Karma]

Agree.

(Don't give me the Red River Shootout as an example.)

If you've ever attended one of these games, I think you can see its a home atmosphere for the Hogs.

[Karma]

Completely 100% disagree.  If don't think central Arkansas  deserves the LSU game, then you don't know your Razorback history.

I do know Razorback history and I'm sick of it.  I want the losing to STOP!!!  Once we dump the traditional Razorback losing ways, we can finally make an attempt at the elite program we have always wanted.

Arkansas has a better record in LR than in Fayetteville. So what is your point?

That is true, but if we eventually pull every game out of Little Rock we run the risk of UCA, ASU, or UALR building a formidable program. If we keep a game in LR, there is no chance any of those schools would be able to steal recruits from us.

[Ross U (HDHF)]

Bi-polar Answer:

Agree:

1.  This is a spotlight game, and starting to become a holiday tradition for CBS.  It should be played in a show place.

2.  If we ever win on a consistent basis this game could regularly decide SEC West, so it should be played on campus.

Disagree:

1.  Since the game is played on Thanksgiving weekend the atmosphere and crowd in NWA would not be as good as a typical game.  Many people from NWA spend their holiday in Central Arkansas or elsewhere.

2.  Central Arkansas have already lost most of the games played in LR.  They get one rent a win and one conference game a year.  On off years their conference game is MSU so come on let them have the battle of the boot.

most students love the LR games. The atmosphere there is great. Also the LSU game is during Thanksgiving when no students are on campus. Makes sense to move the game to where most the people will be. Students love LR games.

Woo Pig.

The point both of you make about the timing of the game and the location of most fans during that weekend is a huge factor imo.  Most of my friends on campus are in the central part of the state for Thanksgiving.  I'd rather have it up here so I could go, but I can understand having it in LR.

[Trashed Hog]

doesn't matter......still gonna smell like corn dogs wherever we play..........

[prairiehogcompanion]

The argument for continuing to play games in Little Rock has been superceded by conditions at War Memorial Stadium.

It is, indeed, a dump.

And at 55,000 or so capacity, it is way too small.

If after all these years of talking about it there isn't the collective will to expand and upgrade War Memorial--and obviously there isn't--then it's time to say thanks for the memories and play all the games in Fayetteville.

It makes no sense to sacrifice millions in revenue for every game played in Little Rock.

(Then again, it also makes no sense to insult the customer, as the UofA does, by scheduling the likes of Chattanooga, Troy, Florida International, Southeast Missouri, Missouri State, North Texas and Louisiana Monroe as glorified scrimmages masquarading as football games.)

Obviously, a lot needs to be remedied when the new athletic director arrives. Let's hope he/she is up to the task.

If any recruit would rather be a Bear,Indian or Trojan then we don't need theb/c chances are they aren't SEC material anyway. The "what ifs" you people come up with are mindnumbing.

All any of those programs would have to do is get to the level of Memphis and they would be a thorn in our side forever. That is why I'm so against playing ASU, we don't gain anything from playing them and they have everything to gain from playing us.

[RhodeHog]

I agree.

[DEVIL DOG HOG]

All good recuites go out of state anyway.

[BassinHawg]

I think that they have already started plans to move all SEC games to Fayetteville.

The LSU game date would be moved so it would not be on Thanksgiving weekend.

[DEVIL DOG HOG]

What is DMAC going to do next year when he turns pro, there are no pro teams in little rock.

So the sensible thing to do is to continue to lose valuable recruiting weekends and millions of dollars to ensure UCA,ASU and UALR stay down?  Living in fear sure is expensive.

No one else in the country has the statewide fan base that we enjoy. The situation at Arkansas is not comparable to other programs, our program is unique and that is one of the things that is great about it.

In Georgia you have Georgia Tech which is a huge instate rival and you also have Georgia Southern which is a beast of a DII school. Tennessee has Memphis and Vandy. If there was a Memphis or Vandy in Arkansas we would suffer greatly. One game in LR a year helps more than it hurts.

[Torqued pork]

What id DMAC going to do next year when he turns pro, there are no pro teams in little rock.

according to hogfan2286, whatever NFL team ends up with D-MAC needs to have a game in LR to keep him happy.

In order to keep his 501 tats relevant, DMAC will forego a career in the NFL and play for the Twisters.

I simply believe that the coaching staff and the amount of on-field success have more of an effect than if a recruit can see the stadium lights from his back porch.

I agree but keeping one game in LR even if it is non-conference would be very helpful for our recruiting around the state, and it would keep a tradition loved by a great deal of razorback fans alive.

[jkstock04]

I agree.  To me a "at home" game means you actually play on the actual university campus where the brand new mulitmillion dollar football facility actually is.  Playing any games in Little Rock deserves the "heres your sign" award.

[rzrbckfan426]

I say this....ask every Razorback coach and player if they would rather play the game at WMS or RRS.  Majority rules...and I think we all know where the game would be played based on this.

I have spoken to many players and the majority of them agree that games in little rock are more fun.  The fans are more into the games b/c a lot of the ones there only get to go to 2 games a year.  A lot of my friends back around little rock don't have the money to come up here to 7 or 8 games a year with the $200 a night hotels.  Hell they get 1 good game every 2 years.  Tell you what trade LR the LSU game for the Texass game here in a few years.  I'm sure they'd agree to that!

[gatecrasher]

Like LR games just like they are. We live in deep south Arkansas. We are Razorback fans too.

I guess you haven't noticed the price of gas lately, have you?
