We all cheer for Vandy when we aren't playing them!  I have remembered why I do not like to post on here!  Too many know it alls for my taste!  I apologize if I wasn't up to par for so many.  I just love my Hogs and wanted to express my opinion.  I should've known that in our society, it would be riddled with some sort of hate.

Dude. For real. It was fine. Everyone catches hell here. Everyone.

I'm typing on my phone, give me a break!

Some of these guys on this board are "keyboard bullies".  They wouldn't talk to people on the street like this otherwise they be taking beatin's, but sitting in a duct-taped up lazy boy in the trailer behind a keyboard, they get pretty brave.  People are irritated with where the team is right now, and emotions are high. 

Many of us agree with your points (despite the lack of paragraph marks) and apparently, just as the Trump win - some people are staunch supporters of Bielema and Long.  So they sit their there with their mixing bowl full of ice and their Busch beer and tee off on guys that write posts that are critical of "their boy Brett".

Mr. Mayor,

I enjoyed your story about your humble upbringing, your deep love of the hogs, and you admitting to the voting public that you get drunk on game day. Hopefully they won't call you on Saturdays to complain about a downed stop sign or one of your police officers writing someone a ticket for five mph over the speed limit. 

I was especially moved by your story about going to Henderson state and I'm sorry that you scored so low on the act on the English and writing part to be admitted to the U of A. 

You seem like a good guy and good fan, the kind we need more of. You're a good writer too.  Don't let these guys tell you any different.


I stated that I drank during the games.  Does that mean that I am drunk while watching or attending each game? 
My ACT score would've sufficed to get into the University of Arkansas.  I'm sorry that you believe that others who attend smaller schools can't attain the ACT scores to be admitted to that school.  Have a nice night and please do not continue to judge others.  99% of your comment is just sad.

I seldom post on here; mainly because I am too emotional with every Hog win or loss.   I usually drink during each game, which doesn't usually calm me down either way.  When I was a child, I can recall being very excited when our team was on TV (JP Sports on channel 7).  We were poor and couldn't afford cable, so it was almost like Christmas when our beloved Hogs were on TV.  I listened to the majority of the games on the radio because my love for my Hogs ran deep. 
Like everyone else, I've seen the highs and the lows of our program since I was probably 6 years old.  Unfortunately I was not around in the 60s-80s when we had really good teams in the SWC.  I am an Arkadelphia native and went to Henderson State University to attain my degree.  I would've loved nothing more to attend the UofA, but the cost of tuition made that decision easy for me. 
I loved the Nutt regime; I hated the Nutt regime.  I loved the Petrino regime; I hated that he was a slime ball.  I loved the Brett hire; I hate the Bret regime thus far.  We all knew that Nutt's kids would run through a brick wall to back up their coach.  We were a top 25 program for most years.    Petrino  put us on the map and we were a perennial top 15 team in the country and were number 3 at one point.  Both coaches had an identity whether we liked it or not, but I am very confused on what our identity is at the present.
Brett started out as a smash mouth coach, but we have been a finesse team here of late.  He gets paid 4+ million dollars a year to win football games and to make our kids respectable in the classroom and off the field.  He does a great job with the latter, but the mediocrity doesn't equate to his salary.  If anyone else that has a regular job failed to win at this rate, he/she would be close to being terminated.  I really do like the fact that our coach is a stand up guy, but there are millions of people in our country that are the same.  Coaches get paid to win games; period.  I am not asking that he be fired yet, but I expected 8+ wins this year for him to ensure his job.  The season is early and there are a lot of games left.  I truly hope that he turns this team around and wins several games this year.  The SEC is weak this year and there is NO excuse to win less than 8 games in my opinion.  I hope he pulls a Mike Anderson and turns it completely around to unify our fan base. 
Please stop bashing our last 2 former coaches;  they each left the program better than it was before.  I hope we can say the same about Brett.  I look forward to being in attendance this Saturday and I have even purchased our new "Cowboys" jersey to cheer them on in Jerry's World.

Hey OP,

Instead of wasting time typing an essay on Hogville do us all a favor and downsize the Caddo Valley PD and cut back on writing speeding tickets half a mile out of town where the speed limit drops for no reason.

No sense in having 10 cops on duty speedtrapping Caddo Valley. Half of them sit at Waffle House all night anyway

At least you went to college. I studied refrigeration at a vocational school but never graduated so I can't say much about anybody's ACT score.  And I barely made it through high school. It was iffy right up until the end.

I think I get awkward posting in a thread of someone kind of famous. I always stick my foot in my mouth when I meet someone famous or someone like yourself.

I meant no offense.  I don't like paragraphs either and I don't like most people on here. We need more people like you here.  The most famous and infamous poster on hogville has a variety of quirks in his writing such as not using capital letters, not spacing after periods, and saying freaking every other sentence and he's legendary.  You have a chance to be more famous than him because of your status as a mayor.

I seldom post on here; mainly because I am too emotional with every Hog win or loss.   I usually drink during each game, which doesn't usually calm me down either way.  When I was a child, I can recall being very excited when our team was on TV (JP Sports on channel 7).  We were poor and couldn't afford cable, so it was almost like Christmas when our beloved Hogs were on TV.  I listened to the majority of the games on the radio because my love for my Hogs ran deep. 
Like everyone else, I've seen the highs and the lows of our program since I was probably 6 years old.  Unfortunately I was not around in the 60s-80s when we had really good teams in the SWC.  I am an Arkadelphia native and went to Henderson State University to attain my degree.  I would've loved nothing more to attend the UofA, but the cost of tuition made that decision easy for me. 
I loved the Nutt regime; I hated the Nutt regime.  I loved the Petrino regime; I hated that he was a slime ball.  I loved the Brett hire; I hate the Bret regime thus far.  We all knew that Nutt's kids would run through a brick wall to back up their coach.  We were a top 25 program for most years.    Petrino  put us on the map and we were a perennial top 15 team in the country and were number 3 at one point.  Both coaches had an identity whether we liked it or not, but I am very confused on what our identity is at the present.
Brett started out as a smash mouth coach, but we have been a finesse team here of late.  He gets paid 4+ million dollars a year to win football games and to make our kids respectable in the classroom and off the field.  He does a great job with the latter, but the mediocrity doesn't equate to his salary.  If anyone else that has a regular job failed to win at this rate, he/she would be close to being terminated.  I really do like the fact that our coach is a stand up guy, but there are millions of people in our country that are the same.  Coaches get paid to win games; period.  I am not asking that he be fired yet, but I expected 8+ wins this year for him to ensure his job.  The season is early and there are a lot of games left.  I truly hope that he turns this team around and wins several games this year.  The SEC is weak this year and there is NO excuse to win less than 8 games in my opinion.  I hope he pulls a Mike Anderson and turns it completely around to unify our fan base. 
Please stop bashing our last 2 former coaches;  they each left the program better than it was before.  I hope we can say the same about Brett.  I look forward to being in attendance this Saturday and I have even purchased our new "Cowboys" jersey to cheer them on in Jerry's World.

I'm curious why you felt the need to state your age and occupation in the title?
Thanks for the F Shack.
