Was it in Apocalypse Now when the soldier was writing a letter to his girlfriend back home and misspelled "Dear" and wrote "Deer"? He said it was okay because she couldn't read very good anyway.

Someone is paid a nice salary by the university to secure the jerseys, fit them in the proper size for each player, and have them available at the game. That person should be relieved of the overwhelming responsibility they couldn't handle..... then a new person should follow up with the vendor to take whatever corrective action the coach determines is needed at the next level. When you don't perform the job you are paid to do, you should step away and let some one else have an opportunity IMO.
Lighten up. There are 70 road jerseys for players that dress as well as the extras packed for each game.  Our equipment staff does an excellent job of having our guys gear ready.  If you don't think things like this can be easily overlooked, take a look at this.

Never, ever messed up on the job, have ya? If you did, I hope you stepped away and let someone else have an opportunity to correct whatever it was you screwed up.

I think a while back KNWA did a small piece on how they load up that eighteen wheeler for a road game. There is a lot of work that goes into it.

Our guys do a great job.

No excuse for this with the type of money being exchanged for uniforms.  Mistake or no mistake.   Heads should roll

Now that I think of it, this "typo" combined with our awesome win results in some great media exposure.  Sure, some people will laugh, but they'll be laughing at the winners of last night's game.

Hogville prediction formula:

1.  Insert bad news prediction. A loss, a recruit going elsewhere, a coach leaving, etc.
2.  Tag "hope I'm wrong," on the end.
3a.  Enjoy a correct prediction.
3b.  Act like you're relieved you're wrong and celebrate with everyone else.

What I find stupid about the whole thing is that some of you people think no one knew about it until twitter informed us all.  I'm sure it was noticed by quite a few but what were they supposed to do about it last minute?  Not wear a jersey at all?  Good grief.  It's funny.  Lighten the f up.  I hope they let him wear it all year.

This is being shared all over the place on twitter and football forums.  I guess this is going to be their proof that Arkansas is dumb?  I would imagine so.





C'mon guys this happens all the time in sports. No need to be so sensitive.  It's good publicity.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
