More info on the UA vs A&M game.  Sounds like the hogs have their contract with BP paid for in 1 game, plus money for coaches.  Real nice, and thanks Mr. Jones.

I can't wait.  Is the Texas State Fair really that big of a deal?  If so I'll attend that as well

[SLC]

I hope the SEC accomodates our schedule to allow this.  If not, another reason to leave the SEC.  (Still more pros to stay though, IMO).

I think the SEC will as well.  They move games all the time to accomodate Thursday Night games.

[hoggystyle78]

I can't wait to kick some Aggie butt!!

It's close to downtown Dallas.  I hear things can get kind of hairy after dark.  I imagine during the day it is fine.

[razorback903]

Now we just need to Win the games.

[Big Daddy]

Cha Ching!

[PigTimePlayer]

This is huge . . . . Arkansas is finally doing some things and making some decisions that say we want to be a big time football school. 

[jim hog]

Sounds fantastic. That will be big time football. Come on recruits.

[Calling All Hogs]

It's close to downtown Dallas.  I hear things can get kind of hairy after dark.  I imagine during the day it is fine.

Can't be any worse than where the Arkansas State Fair is held in Little Rock. This is the kind of big time deal
Arkansas has been needing. WPS!

[Tylerhog]

I'll make that game for sure, neighbors here in Tejas are all aggies. Bring it Brotha!!

[HOGPICKER]

That will be one hot ticket. 80K seats unless they expand to 100K.  15K are club seats.  The team split might be under 40K each, and we could fill the whole thing with Hog fans.  Expect to pay NFL prices for this little party.  Personally, if they're only around $100/ticket, I'll be happy.  Regardless, I'll be there.

[ICEman]

Recruits will love the opportunity to play in an ultra-modern $1.1bn stadium.

[ICEman]

It's like an in-season bowl game!

[want2be]

Can someone attach the link that has drawing and description of the new stadiium.....It's got to be awesome if a billion$ is spent.

                   Thanks for the connection Jerry !!

                   Now go get McFadden or Jones

[Hog Fan n Tx]

Another reason to thank Jerry Jones.

Too bad we didn't work that deal with the Whorns.  Anyway, I still get to let my Burnt Orange son-in-law take me to Austin to see the Hogs show out.  I get the tix, he drives, we win.

[tomdawg55]

The State Fair of Texas is GREAT , its more of an amusement park than fair, great FOOD , Flechers Corney dogs are the best , tator twists are very good , , well worth the trip .

[LeadHog]

Recruits will love the opportunity to play in an ultra-modern $1.1bn stadium.

With a screen that streches from the 20 to the 20, 60 freaking yards for the big screen.

[corpitguy]

What a great Christmas present Petrino and this A&M game are to the Razorback Nation!

[LeadHog]

[lazyj70]

That's one game that I will definately be at!

[ICEman]

Ticket prices will definitely be north of $100/ea.

[opineonswine]

the SEC BETTER work this deal out!

[ballhog™]

What a great situation for the Hogs to get into.

[jacksonporthog]

with this game does that in the LR games and the chance to either play ASU or UCA cuz I hope so!~!!!!

[bonedoc]

Pretty sure the new stadium is well away from Dallas in Arlington.  Even if was at Fair Park, we're there all the time at night for State Fair and it really isn't that hairy......nothing to be worried about.

[forrest city joe]

This is big for our recruiting in Texas. lots of thanks to Jerry Jones.

[DocJones]

Lots of excitement on the A&M side for this series.  It should be great for both schools.

[ATLHogcallin]

I will do whatever it takes to get to this game each year!  Flying or driving--what fun this will be.  Living here in Atlanta all I hear about is the Great Outdoor Cocktail Party in Jacksonville.  (Of course they can't call it that anymore.  I wonder what this game will be called.  Any ideas of a nickname we might be able to attach?

Save that entire post taintlint, its a gem and will get lots of use in the coming years.

More similiarities.

Seasons finished in the top 20: Arkansas 25, aTm 22.

Seasons finished in the top 10: Arkansas 13, aTm 11.

Season finished in the top 5: Arkansas 3, aTm 2.

Most weeks ranked in the AP poll: Arkansas 19th, aTm 20th.

actually, JJ's Cowboys Stadium is in Arling by Rangers Ballpark. But it'll be fun anyway!

Just in time for our big game . . . love that new stadium smell.   

[khawg95]

The 10 Million Dollar Game!

[DocJones]

And don't forget about the recruiting value either.

[Justifiable Hogicide]

Thank you Jerry Jones !

Great money.
Great national exposure.
Great recruiting boost.
Great tradition.

Go Hogs Go!   :razorback:

[taintlint]

TEXAS fans are entirely too self righteous to admit it but this is not good news for them. Both A&M and ARKANSAS have historically played 2nd fiddle to the cattle but a game in Dallas on national tv, during the same time frame as the Red River Shootout, with a 10 million dollar pot, in a brand new 1 billion dollar stadium for at least 5 years gives the Hogs and the Ags and incredible recruiting advantage.

[Tejano Jawg]

Bacon-N-Ags

That's excellent. Print the shirts.

[antiono hogderas]

Early games like this one can be a spring board for our season and get us off to a great start in the national ranks if we win.  Like the 2003 victory over texas and now we have a coach who can maintain us at that level.
