I'd love to see Texas come play but if they want to be crybabies, boo them in NLR and to h*ll with them coming back for a game. What a jerk!

[cityhog]

oh it's on.  I am not advocating keying, spitting, throwing objects, but every Arky better boo the living sh*t out of the Whorns everytime they are on the court.  And they need to take the heckling of Barnes to a new level.

That wuss wouldn't even return the "home and home game" with us this year.  Screw that female dog.

[Dropkick]

Barnes..........STFU!

[NuttinItUp]

I will be there and booing. Moreso now since he threatened us.

[OTTER]

Big brave Rick Barnes!!  Maybe he needs to bring his blankie with him.  What a jackarse!!!  Ohh, you bet there will be some screaming goin' on now.  It will be so loud, he won't be able to hear his Little Bo Peep cassette.

[Bigfoot]

He must not want to come back next year. He has to know that this kinda threat would start something bigtime! I guess we will see.

[drivetimeporks]

Texas will be boo-ed from the second they step on the court.... what a bunch of cunts!

[drivetimeporks]

Texas will be boo-ed from the second they step on the court.... what a bunch of flippys!

as they down thar in Tey-jas .. "Las Panochitas!"

[Dropkick]

I don't care if Ricky's little orange panties are in a wad he better shut up. No one gives a stuff if he comes back here our not. If they want to buy their way out of playing us so be it. What a dipsh!t.

[razorbackmkh]

I have to agree with one of the comments on the  blog, this seemed pretty tongue-in-cheek. I mean seriously? Who would say that and mean it? And if he does mean it, who cares, he made himself look like a big cry baby. I think its nothing beyond kind of funny.

[Wildhog]

He picked the wrong time to make comments like those, considering we're on our way back to glory!

[Hawgon]

Tongue-in-cheek doesn't translate well in print.

[Bigfoot]

#15 seed Austin Peay will have a homecourt advantage like they have never had before!

[HogNuttz]

Bad part for Texas is, booing Texas is by far and away the only motivation for most locals to go to the game.


Have fun Tejas.

[Wildhog]

Tongue-in-cheek doesn't translate well in print.

It didn't read very togue-in-cheek did it?  I don't think it was.  It's a little too bitter to be tongue-in-cheek.

[razorrog1]

It's too bad Little Ole Arkansas isn't any kind of rival for Big Bad Texas in anything.  They don't even know we exist since it means more to us than it does them.  Whatever. They hate our freaking guts and we return the favor.

[NuttinItUp]

It didn't read very togue-in-cheek did it?  I don't think it was.  It's a little too bitter to be tongue-in-cheek.

Yeah, he was totally being truthful, or at least that is how it read. Perhaps if you could see the video he might have a smirk on his face, but it definitely reads as bitter.

[The Marmot]

I will be there, and I will give them as much hell as I can.

[razorrog1]

I can't believe Barnes is a stupid guy. He has to know what kind of reaction this would cause. He was either kidding or trying to motivate his team somehow.

[Wildhog]

Anybody know any Texass boards in which to lurk for a bit?

[Wildhog]

I'd like to think someone isn't that stupid, either...But he said it, he knew it would be printed.  My guess is motivation, because if he was kidding, then he just made the worst decision he could have made.

[Pigdiana Jones]

Rick Barnes can just STFU.

Arkansas better treat us good or I'll whine like a little bitch because i can't get my way, and we won't come play you next year... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

STFU Barnes - no one gives a rats a$$ what you think.

                                TUCK FEXAS.............

[bigyellowdog]

Go Austin Peay!!!

You're right.  I gave a Longhorn waaaayyyyy too much credit.  Arrogance has overridden intelligence in Barnes case, like it does for most who wear that horrible color of orange. 
Boy, it is fun to hate/trash those guys.

[dhornjr1]

But I thought all the Texass people didn't care about lil' ol' Arkansas any more. I guess there is still some envy there after all.

The best line in the whole story is Rick Schaeffer quoting Broyles back in '95...

"We're not trying to make a big deal out of it. Our fans are," Schaeffer said. "Coach Broyles said, "I didn't think Texas envied anyone. I guess they envy us."'

[hogfan x]

All i can tell Barnes is to get their checkbook out.   If they want to cut and run, go for it.

[HOG RED UMP]

Brand those Bevos......COW(ARD)S

[Wildhog]

Hogville Vs. Hornfans
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is a key matchup for the future. lol.

[bellavistamike]

You know, a sign at a LR football game back in the 80s put it best... "Bevo is gay!"

[soso]

Let's go Pea!

UT has no idea what's about to hit them. Pay back is hell.

[kimjongsqUeAl]

ha, i just don't know what to say about that.  Friggin hilarious!

[Wildhog]

Fly banners over Alltel?

[memphishog]

what a tool.

[hog_fan]

Seriously who the hell cares? Half of you people would take a Texas win over an SEC win. Get over it as it not 60's and 70's anymore.

If he wants out then fine let them write the check.

[memphishog]

whatever you say rick

[Justifiable Hogicide]

Not too smart on his part, this will generate a lot of ill will directed his way.

[iCalledThatHogBrotha!]

My friend played a solo there at half-court and was booed the entire time.  He was playing "Shout" FOR THEIR ENTERTAINMENT, and those b**tards booed him.  So he finished, gave Texas the upside down Hook'em Horns sign in Austin at half-court, turned all the way around so everyone could see, jogged off the court, and lived!


"Many in the Erwin Center robustly booed not only the Razorback players but also their pep band, cheerleaders and, especially, Coach Nolan Richardson, during the March 17-19 tournament. Many Razorbacks, Richardson included, responded by making an inverted "Hook 'em" sign, the ultimate show of disrespect to Texas fans."

I think you'll find that the vast majority of Hog fans care deeply about the Arkansas-Texas rivalry.  I know I do.

Agreed.

what a dick!

[dhornjr1]

I would imagine that most people who don't recognize the Arkansas-Texas rivalry are probably under 25. We left the SWC 17 years ago.

It's those of us who actually remember those days that still have strong emotions about the Longhorns.

[hawgball9401]

It has been said a couple of times already, but I would like to state it again for Mr. Barnes....in the words of our beloved Coach Pel, STFU!!!

[cmakrzrbak]

I'm sorry, I couldn't read that through the abyss that is Rick Barnes gaping vajayjay.

Seriously, what a [CENSORED]

[PorkerOinker]

Pi$$ on his buyout we have enough money to tell him either you play or you forfeit and take a loss on your record we don't need your damn money.

[AirForceHog]

What a P*$$y!

[slowride]

It's kinda sad how the tables have turned.  In 95, we were the final 4 team and they we're the wannabes booing.  This year, they are a 2 seed who has a shot at the final four and we are the haters.

Hey I was fine with Texas and actually has them in the Final Four in my bracket, and I would have half way rooted for them but pi$$ on them now.

[Theolesnort]

 We have been challenged. What are we going to do about it true blue Razorback fans?
