Is our fanbase less intelligent than most?

You can't go by internet sites. Any fanbase, if you strictly by message boards, you would think they're all morons. You're not getting a true representation of, say, the 70,000 people going to a game. It's a relatively small percentage of people posting over and over.

The problem is, most people probably look at the internet traffic and comments and think, 'are we the dumbest fanbase?'. There are a lot of intelligent people out there that never or rarely post anything online. Only way to guage their opinion is to take a poll or something.

"Fan base," or "message board fans?"

There is a difference.
This is the answer. I believe we have a disproportionate amount of these type of fans due to the fact that we don't have a professional sports team in Arkansas.  Most of these "fans" have never even been to the campus or donated so much as a single penny to the university. The Alabama schools are similar to us in that regard.

We have the 4th dumbest fanbase in America. Closing in on the top spot quickly.


Lol......yeah.  After reading some of the latest posts....I would say we have probably moved up a couple of notches from 4th.....
Arkansas born, Arkansas bred, when I die I'll be a Razorback dead.

Hey! When we play a Top 10 team and almost win the Bielema haters say, "see, we have the talent to win" but, when we play a Top 10 team and get smoked the Bielema haters say, "see it's the coaching".

Remember, the Bielema haters hated him since the day he was hired.

Notice he says your boy instead of "our coach". Very telling.

I'm not worried. If he recruits like he did here Louisville will fire him in about 5 years.

Are our real fans less intelligent than others? No. Are people on hogville less intelligent? Read some of the posts for 5 minutes....

People here do the same thing. Someone will visit another team's message board and come back saying 'look at what these clowns are saying---they're all idiots'.

Not really fair to the other team's fans.

We will be favored to win 3 games this season. We were picked to finish dead last in the SEC west last season and this season. Why are some people struggling with the concept that we aren't good due to a low level of elite division 1 talent in the elite division of college football?

Obviously you have never met an OU fan. Completely delusional.
