Seriously, Clayton was a college coach? Surely he was a GA or something, I don't see him as a college coach. I'm not sure the reason why there isn't one in Jonesboro, but I can understand not having one here, no need to rub it in any worse than it is. There are plenty of clubs close by, Paragould, Batesville, etc.

i know  so because he let me look at a 1995 Ark playbook  1 day in class   he was my 12 grade health teach for a semester   is was me and a lot  of Jr high  kids  very hands off teach   i think he was the RB/TE Coach   from 94-97    did not talk to him a lot because i did not want be a brown noser    he was good at handing out stuff from the textbook but not a good public  speaker  he had a thick  voice   only gave  like 1 test in 5 months   but a lot of worksheets but the playbook he showed  me was from Danny ford staff   it felt 100-120 pages a lot of basic run plays  very simple   simple pass routes

Because the local razorback club would be bigger than the red wolf club. Wouldn't want to make them cry.

I would join if someone started one. But I don't have the time to organize one.

The word from Rochelle is "we don't want to infringe upon ASU"


Really?? Razorback fans outnumber ASU 5-1 here, but that gap is closing. There's "casual" fans turning their attention to ASU.

As far as the question of how many fans can Jobesboro get? There was 650+ at the Manila meeting and no telling how many got turned away. There's more than enough to have one here, and that ASU BS is just that, B FRICKIN S. Screw ASU.

[The Hawg Marshal]

I think it would have a large membership.

The Paragould Club needs to market itself to Jonesboro better.   Grow the membership and then change the name NEA Club.    It is extremely easy to do since Horton and Co will give you the names and emails of the Jonesboro Razorback Club members.

5-1??? I'm an alum and have lived in Jonesboro since the 80's, but it's probably more like 2:1 if you are counting donors/non Wal-Mart fans. I don't have a problem with there not being a "Jonesboro" club, would go for a better marketing effort from the Paragould area into a joint Greene/Craighead county club.

Donors or non wal mart fans?


Hog fans are Hog fans. PERIOD  All you have to do is ride around and count license plates, both team plates and official government plates, stickers, caps, shirts, etc. Go to the mall and do a head count. Go buy merchandise in town. Stores know what sells. The majority is Razorback mechandise. 

AND THAT'S IN THEIR HOME TOWN!!!!!!!!!!

When they were the Indians, it was about 5-1, not now. If you would like to come sit on a corner and count with me, I'll meet you. I'm on your side, but there's a reason there isn't a club in Jonesboro.

[HoggyCat]

there's a reason there isn't a club in Jonesboro.

And that reason is "we do not want to I fringe upon ASU". I've heard it through my phone when I called to request the process be started, and have had several friends question it face to face with the director.

It has nothing to do with amount of fans here. They just don't want to step on their toes.....  For some stupid reason.

Paragould just needs to market itself to Craighead county better.

I have had multiple discussions with the foundation about this and there are many reasons.  They are not wanting to start any new clubs at this time b/c the coaches are already spread thin going to all of the current clubs.  Also, they see Jonesboro as very close to Paragould and think we should go there.  What they don't understand is that it is a pretty good drive from the south side of Jonesboro to Paragould.  I am having a Razorback foundation fundraiser and watch party at my house in Jonesboro for the Auburn game this year.  We will be sending invitations to most foundation members in Jonesboro.  If  you are interested, PM me.

Well, if you lived in Dallas you'd think that 30 minute drive wasn't bad. Maybe we can get them to have it a meeting at the new Craighead County fairgrounds building out on 49, meet them halfway.

Just split the diff and call it the Greater Goobertown Razorback Club

The Paragould club does not market itself to Jonesboro, so it is difficult to know of any events to participate.

Thing about Jonesboro is that many of the large Razorback supporters are also large ASU supporters (money and whatnot), so there's a conflict of interest. People like Steve Cox come to mind.

A lack of a Jonesboro doesn't affect this?

No, we give to the Foundation, and for business purposes give to ASU also. I think the people at the Foundation know what's best for all.

How do we order tickets?  How much per ticket?

Yep.  The coaches and Foundation guys like it there... they land at our airport and just walk into the banquet.  We had well over 500 for Petrino 2 yrs ago and 350+ for Anderson last year.

I've created a Facebook Event for it:
Mississippi County Razorback Club Banquet

Check out the pictures.  You can contact me through that event page if you want tickets.  FYI - our county club members get first option to buy tickets and they are selling VERY FAST!

[jboro-hog]

Would love to join one also. Believe it would go over great. Also tired of as who cramed our throats.
