Couple of Questions From a Trojan

[PIGINAPOKE]

There is a new place having a grand opening sat nite the 2nd of Sept  at 11.00 pm. CROWS EAT PLACE.

A great story in itself. Seems this once homeless guy named Bellflower Billy, The name was givin to him because he lived in a box under a bridge overpass at the 91 frwy and Bellflower Blvd.

One day a trucker from J.B. HUNT saw this poor fellow dressed in rags and sportin a USC hat.Hunkered down. Ashamed.

He stopped and tossed this reakin guy into the back of the rig and drove to N.W. Arkansas.

The rest is history..Come join Billy for his, All you can eat crow fest sat night on Dickson.

[Yoko Oinko]

Don't stay in Lowell.  Its is run by a Guatemalen drug cartel from Rancho Dominguez.  Lots of gang activity.  Lowell is like a smaller Carson.  Stay clear of Springdale---Crips/Blood activity.  Think Compton with minor league baseball.  There is a Florence and Normandie there....Remember Reginald Denny?  When you think of NWA, think Los Angeles county.....

Stay in our version of Orange County called Mena.

[PigPusher]

Thanks for the advice:  Quick recap:

1) Stay at the Ramada in Lowell; not the Super 8 in Springdale
2) Skip the BBQ, find somewhere on Dickson Street Friday night
3) Get to the game when you want (between 12 and 3), but warm up on Dixon Street

Any good sports bars to watch Game Day on Saturday morning?

Looking forward to seeing you on Dickson Street Friday night and Saturday morning.

However if any on of your ten touched our school flag as it was being rudely thrown up through the crowd in the Trojans area, you will need to wear hardhats. The hail around here is fearsome and as big as softballs. We did not like that at all.

[Yoko Oinko]

Also, 540 is our 710 Freeway.  All trucks and traffic.  To get around and avoid sniper fire, take 71B from Alma and get off on the Rudy/Chester exit.

[PigPusher]

Ozark has great barbeque.  About 30 minute drive out of Fayetteville.  But be sure to take the scenic back road though.  That is well worthwhile.

Good Lord...a +1 if I ever saw one.

[Bucksnort]

Jose's street side on Friday night.  Best Margarita's in town...  Just follow the noise!

Dittos . . . Jose's is the place for the best margaritas on the planet!!!  And their salsa and chips has just been moved to the top of the food pyramid in my book.

[Yoko Oinko]

Look SoCal brothers.  I'm just trying to help.  When you get to Mountainburg, after you pass the rusted out 1952 Olds abandoned on the right side of the road, there is a burned out rock building.  Hunker down in there until you hear the code words, "Warriors, come out to play!"  That'll be me.  I'll drive you to stadium parking in Barling where you'll be safe.

Dude, you need to get over that flag nonsense, it's eating you up. What do you think of planting the AR flag on the turf at Austin? How bout Dale "disrespecting" the hook 'em horns sign?

It's a game. Played by teenagers. Have fun, cheer, and have a beer.

[Lando Calrissian]

Check and see where the band Oreo Blue is playing.

The Hogville.net Tailgate?

[PigPusher]

You are so right fire it is a game.  You need to learn to recognize it when others are doing it.
If you will go to the store and buy the board game called Arkansas /Southern Cal football you will see a pack of cards in the box. Shuffle through them and you will find a card that says, "Opponents flag up through the bleachers."  It is part of the game.

[clew]

Damn, you guys type so fast, it just messes me up.

I'm picking myself up outta the floor.  NICE.

Bacon out...

aaarrrggghhh...beer bubbles coming forth from my nose!!! 

that burns...

[Immensehog]

Attention trojan fans...   this is a warning.  You will see a group of guys in overalls and nothing else.  This is the Sheridan/Clarksville/Mena razorback tailgate contingent.

Don't bother asking these guys for any "grey poupon".

Don't bother these guys period.

[Slacker]

Go to Doe's Eat Place on Dickson. Southern Food, and the best steak in town, hands down (beside my own of course).

Rogers has many fine eating establishments, and is about a 10 minute drive from where you're staying. 

[PigPusher]

You may still see some folks still not wearing shoes around.  It is still pretty warm over here.

But y'all com'on ya hear?

[moley_russells_wart_hog]

Nice to know there are some cool USC people out there.
Your gonna get razzed anywhere you go, but everyone here for the most part will be gracious and be more than happy to party with you.
Just dont go to LSU!

I hope he doesn't have any "trojan" appendage attached to the back of his van...I hear those might be flammable.

[missippihog]

While youre in this half of the country, might as well drive the extra 8 hours on over here to Clarksdale, MS and eat the best BBQ in the USA at Abe's BBQ at the Crossroads. Seriously though, if anyone is ever this way, you have to eat at Abe's. Best you'll ever eat. And no, I'm not related, nor work there.

[Doug]

There will be 10 of us decked out in Cardnial and Gold.  We travel all over the country to see the Trojans play and look forward to this trip to Fayeteville.  I am sure we will get razed a bit, but hope to meet some courteous Hogs as well...always interesting to compare fan bases as a visitor.  See you soon...I do appreciate the advice.

I'm definitely jealous that you get to travel all over.  This will be my first game in person (I'm flying in from Georgia myself).  I've heard that there IS no electricity at any stadium quite like what goes on at F'ville on gameday... if it's even a HALF truth, we're all in for a real treat this year.

Douglas,

This is really just any old regular run of the mill game.  We all heard you were coming so we've been organizing the "electric" atmosphere for months now in order to show you a dandy right time.

There is some pretty good BBQ down here in Hot Springs too with McClard's, Stubby's, and Rollins'.

Always a good call.

[CiriusPorker]

We should bring some good ole southern cooking for the USC fans to take with them as a consolation prize after the game.

[Footballref]

SC fans you need to roll out to the ROAD HOG park where we tailgate we have converted a school bus into
a HOG PARTY BUS with a patio on the back. Fully equipted with four TV's on the side of four game day football waching.
We throw down HOG style

[Oklahawg]

I sent MBTrojan a PM with info, but I suggested some NWA signatures from the ages: AQ Chicken and Italian food in Tonitown. Also, that great southern tradition, fried catfish at Catfish Hole.

[Footballref]

The place to eat Catfish is the BACKWOODS BARN off of HWY45. If you have not been you should go
you will never go back to CATFISH HOLE again. But it is only open on Thursday,Friday, and Sat.

[mbtrojan]

Thanks to everyone for the thoughtful responses.....and to those making jokes about gangs, flag stomping etc, I understand it is all tounge and cheek.  We lost our starting FB today which is  a bummer...should be a great game with an unbelievable crowd.  Everyone will be excited for the game.  Look forward to meeting everyone and enjoying the gameday atmosphere in Fayeteville.   I will be around the board until a couple days before the game.

Thanks again and Fight On!

[Shag66]

Just for the record....the best BBQ that I ever had is from a place called Jones BBQ on Louisiana Street in Marianna....it's in Eastern Arkansas about 60 miles southwest of Memphis on Highway 79. If anyone gets over that way I suggest you try it. Another place close is Cypress Corner BBQ on Highway 1 right off of Highway 49.

Yeah, but that is an awfully long drive for a sandwich. I think I'd go to Hugo's.

I had Hugo's last week...  You can't beat the Burgers and Sandwiches...

Some of the nicest people you will ever meet.  Best darn catfish too...  would be SERIOUS culture shock for the Californians though 

[Lando Calrissian]

Italian food in Tonitown.

The Venesian Inn.

Damn man, why did you have to post this, now i am freaking starving.

Man i want some wings right now.

[Lando Calrissian]

No kidding.

Ever notice how these "food" threads start to pick up steam late at night?

I could eat about 5 lbs of wings right now.

foghornshog, make it happen.

[foghornshog]

Sorry, us sports bar guys seem to be on late at night.  I will do a Hogville special very soon.  Just need some insight on where to start the thread and what date, and I can make the good deals appear.  I don't want to spam the site as I have said before.  I only bring it up when it seems appropriate.  I come here for the same conversation as you guys.  It is actually the exact same conversations I have every night with my customers.

We Hogvillians, like Hobbits, are a hearty folk.  I doubt you'll find much resistance any time the topics of food (especially chicken wings) and "good deals" are brought up.

[foghornshog]

If it is ok for me to start a thread on it for ideas of dates and times, let me know, and I will handle the details.  I can do Friday if you guys want.

[Big Papa Satan]

No self-respecting Arkansan would dare eat BBQ north of the Arkansas River.

I'd put our BBQ from here in NEA up against anything you LA unwashed have to offer.

[SultanofSwine]

They should look for HiM as I figure he will have a couple of bottles of his finest Champipple on hand for the tailgate.

NEA? Please.

See:
1. McClard's
2.Stubby's
3. Pit Pit in Caddo Valley(a real gem)
4. Hog wild in Pine Bluff.
5. Sandy's in malvern.
6. Smokin in style in Hot Springs.

I could go on...      You've been served.

[SultanofSwine]

If you put McClards at the top of your list you served yo own self.

See...
Craigs
Cypress Corner
Jones
Shaddens
Rays

Please don't ever try to tell a guy from the Delta about BBQ when you live in the hills.

[Hawgasaurus]

Pig Pit in Caddo Valley is the real deal!!!
