I noticed that.  I still think we shouldn't play em.

I thought Arkansas would play other instate schools after Broyles left.  Am I wrong?

Interesting....

[Hoggy1]

I can see us playing ASU in the near future.....doesn't bother me at all

[vandybuff]

I think it is fun for any program.  At Vandy we play most every local instate in baseball and several middle Tennessee  (and Western KY - which is about 60 miles away) schools in mbb and wbb and football. 

For example, earlier this week we played Austin Peay and tonight we play Belmont. 

Everyone enjoys the games.

I wouldn't mind us playing ASU.  Losing every 15 years wouldn't kill us too much if we won in the big games.  For instance, that App State loss didn't kill us too terribly much.

Well win or lose, playing the local teams is always good --- especially with the cost of travel for the fans.

As long as Eric Ferguson does the (off)-color commentary, I'm cool with it...

What exactly happened between Eric Ferguson and Brady? I asked before a couple months back when  Brady was fired and someone made a comment like this and no one knew...so I gave up.

Brady said something stupid to him during a game and Ferguson told him "F--- You" and had to be restrained.  Ferguson was ejected for that though undeservedly so.

Thank you sir.

Long has really been mum on the policy since being hired.   He made a comment about not changing it anytime soon.  But he didnt rule out changing it in the future.   

Broyles made it abundantly clear that he would never play an instate school in a regular season game.    In the first years that Van Horn was the baseball coach.  Broyles threw a fit when a tournament Arkansas was entered in secretly went out and scheduled Arkansas State.    Arkansas pulled out within a day

We at ASU are in no hurry to play a game...and will still be here when the call finally does come

I am very dumb regarding sports (and many other topics, too - haha), but to me it is more logical for instate to play each other versus either paying (or being paid) to host/travel for a big game.  I do not follow Arkansas colleges, but I thought every state played instate where they were the same athletic division.
