Gragg transferring to Dumas

[ADavisTheGOAT]

Eeyup.

[hogman99]

Bobcats will contend this year.

Bobcats will contend this year.

For?

[scooby21322]

Not sure why we were all supposed to get worked up over this.  It doesn't change anything from the perspective of a fan of the Razorbacks. 

[Big Nasty 34]

2 separate pieces of news!

Needed to consider the source, always rely on RD.

[RNHog]

Not surprising. The Graggs have places in Warren and in Dumas.

[The_Iceman]

Mr. Gragg got a job at Dumas.

[ldfergu]

OMG!!! Super exciting news guys!! So pumped about the HUGE news!!!

[poloprince]

Mr. Gragg got a job at Dumas.

Any word on what they had for supper? Geez.

Our resident restaurateur from PB hasn't chimed in, they may still be on dessert.

Well, maybe he'll let us know. I'm sure there's something that can be read into their choice of apple pie or peach cobbler.

If it's blackbeary cobbler, we're screwed.

[ADavisTheGOAT]

I see what you did there.

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Ha!

[TheRazorback500]

Cool. I'll get to see him play.

Dumas to Oxford - 3.5 hours

Ole Piss passes to TE's 2 all season.

[Squints Pallaboarus]

Interesting.... Might have to make it home to watch my McGehee Owls play against him this year.

[TomasPistola]

Eeyup.

What kind of Dumas would move there?

[Oklahawg]

Archie Bradley is the #1 prospect for the Arizona Diamondbacks. An elite pitching prospect. His Mom was wanting to become a principal (she was a classroom teacher). After Archie's sophomore season at Muskogee (where he was an elite QB and blew up into a first round talent on the mound) his Mom was offered a principal's gig in Broken Arrow...but (like many schools in OK have told prospective employees, especially administrators) "you must live in the community".

This is not that unusual.

[Scott7703]

See Hugh Freeze

Yeah right.

[Boarcephus]

What kind of Dumas would move there?

LOL!! I have to agree with this.  Came back through Dumas a couple weeks ago and that has to be one depressing place to live let alone move to.  Warren is just a little old sleepy town rural town in the woods.

[PonderinHog]

What kind of Dumas would move there?

I wouldn't hitchhike through there if I didn't have to.

[ricepig]

You not a Ding Ding Daddy from Dumas fan?

[PorkRinds]

See Hugh Freeze

I'm sure HF decides who gets the superintendent job in Dumas' AR.

[rzrbackramsfan]

Here's the positive news.  It didn't look like he was coming when he lived in Pine Bluff.  Maybe something about the new location will inspire him to be a  :razorback: 

[whosiskid]

And Pine Bluff is Shangri-la? At one point in the PLACES RATED ALMANAC Pine Bluff was dead last of every metropolitan area in America in about 8 out of 9 editions. And while I don't know if this has changed, for decades it was the largest town in America without a freeway going through it.

On the other hand, in high school I helped my school win the mile relay after I got a big whiff of the odor from the paper mill going into the final turn. Something about the awfulness of that smell kicked me into a whole different gear and I ran faster than I ever had before.

Though I do agree that Dumas isn't Eden. But Pine Bluff versus Dumas is not easy to decide.

Where in the hell did I say anything about Pine Bluff?

I'd go with Dumas all day every day and twice on sunday.  The only thing PB has going for it is that it is close to little rock, which has a ton of stuff to do.

[dwcherr]

Ole Piss passes to TE's 2 all season.

What?? You're making stuff up. Their true freshman TE Evan Ingram had something like 50 catches in 8 or 10 games before he got injured.

[DeltaBoy]

So he will be the next Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas.

[Boarcephus]

Just took 65 through PB through to Tallulah and that is one depressing drive.  I have to think that if someone were to say, "I'll give you $5 million dollars with the only stipulation being you have to live in PB, Dumas, Grady, lake Village or Eudora", I believe I'd have to pass on the $$.  There are actually some nice areas in PB but they ain't very big and they're surrounded by the bad element.

[redleg]

It's possbile, I guess. It does seem like the Bolding brothers aren't doing Bielema and the Hogs any favors. Kinda like the Warren coach when Nutt was the head Hog.

I do not look for Arkansas to get Pettway, Hill, or Gragg...and they will all be dead to me after that.

ATTENTION!!!!
Just in case you didn't know this already...Grady, Arkansas is a speed trap of the worst kind, and the cops in Grady are rude and arrogant!
Do NOT travel through Grady if you don't have to!
If you do, make sure you do 5 mph under the posted speed limit, and aboslutely do NOT veer or swerve at all! They WILL give you a ticket for even the smallest infraction! I got one for going 4 mph over the speed limit, and my cousin got one for going 1 mph over! 1 mph!!!!! What kinda cop does THAT?!

[Boarcephus]

What kinda cop does THAT?!

The same ones whose brothers must work in Lake Providence and Tallulah, LA

[PonderinHog]

The same ones whose brothers must work in Lake Providence and Tallulah, LA

City is probably broke.

I'm sure they are gonna lose a lot of sleep over that

[Boarcephus]

City is probably broke.

If they're broke it's not from lack of revenue from their police department.

[ldfergu]

So he will be the next Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas.

What the hell?

[RNHog]

What the hell?

He has said it like 15 times already.

[southeasthog]

Ding dong daddy days is Dumas city festival

[PorkRinds]

What the hell?

That is an appropriate response for almost every one of those 50,000 plus posts...

Ding dong daddy days is Dumsa city festival

Are you shi++in' me? Is there really a festival called "Ding Dong Daddy Days?" That is too funny. I can only imagine what kind of contests they have. LOL

[PharmacistHog]

Its based on a song ( from what I was told) "I'm a ding dong daddy from
Dumas". I had to live in that hellhole for a year in my young life. Hate that awful place.
