- Stadium attendance for their SEC home opener was probably 50-60%, max.

- Tickets could be had for $6 yesterday.

- Their Board of Trustees ordered an audit/inspection of their entire Ath Dept, and specifically the football program, yesterday.

- Their AD told the ESPN sideline reporter today that he was not told about the action and did not have any comment about it, becsuse he did not know it was happening until the press release was posted.

- They lost 45-17 today.

- They have not won an SEC game since 2024 against Miss State.

- Their SEC record 14-48 under the currrent AD.

- There is major thought by some media members that Ryan Silverfield was hired last October in secret so the AD could pursue CFP chair position, thus bypassing more viable candidates who wanted the job (Bama DC being one, an alum and former player).

- The Athletic reported this week that Arkansas has the lowest Football pay roster in the SEC. This coming after the AD for months stated their roster was "middle of the pack" in SEC spending and supposedly found new revenue methods to boost the program.

- The HC stated he spent 75% of his off-season fundraising and not preparing for football b/c they were so far behind in NIL infrastructure.

Fans are finally fed up.

I tried to tell their fans on the SECr that Silverfield was a terrible hire. He had a HUGE advantage over his contemporaries at Memphis and couldn’t even win that conference.

Memphis actually pumps a lot of money into their athletics.

With Walmart, Tyson and Jones money, how are they not at the top of spending?

You didn't have to convince anyone. No one was excited about the hire.

Please list every time his team played for a conference championship.

Also remember that his team along with USF where top 3 in NIL spending yet neither made a CCG.

Silverfield wasn't good at Memphis and Arkansas not waiting for Morris will cost them.

Beautiful area. There’s money there. And some wealthy alumni.

In their defense, the school is spending NIL money on basketball and baseball. Every other school picks football then one of the other two.

The problem most fans feel is that they're not even trying at Football. The Silverfield hire shows that.

They have rich folks making terrible football decisions. Been like that for years.
