Heck, we’ll get screwed again I’m sure. During the fricking COVID year when it was all sec schedules and we were coming off of 2 winless sec seasons and we had a new first year head coach they give us Georgia and Florida.

Since Arkansas joined the SEC 30+ years ago with several scheduling shuffles, they have played Vanderbilt 8 times and Kentucky 8 times.

The area in that video seems very dark.

They should do something to properly illuminate the space with light sources.

I’m sure Ole Miss fans will find a solution.

The Waltons also gave $50 Million to the business school, which then became the Walton School of Business.

11. Arkansas at 345 acres. Biggest shocker to me in the list.
Is there truly no room to expand?

No. They offered to buy Fayetteville High School which is adjacent to the campus for $50MM 20 years or so ago, but it was declined. The rest is bordered by downtown and residential areas.

Pretty much has the same footprint when I was there with 15k students. It’s now well over 30k. And I thought parking was a problem then.

”This is way more than just what happens inside the stadium.” Last fall, community leaders traveled to Fayetteville, Tuscaloosa and Lexington to compare infrastructure, amenities and game-day experiences as Norman and the #Sooners gears up for the SEC:

One of my favorites (that I've only ever seen as a recording/replay) is the 1981 game. The crowd intensity and hate is pretty awesome to witness. Texas comes into Fayetteville ranked #1 and Arkansas beats the absolute shite out of them.

Arkansas has no interest in winning the SEC Tournament. It is pointless unless you need it make NCAA Tournament.

Don't expect them to throw any top pitchers.

Same thing for the basketball tournament. It's just about money.

They'll scream at the top of the lungs at every fly ball expecting a home run or at least a base hit despite the fact it will be an out.

Most Texans like to act like the state is like Dallas/Houston/San Antonio/Austin. But as huge as the state is, it's mostly like Arlen.

If you want to stay downtown try The Waters or Hotel Hale.

Superior Brewery brews their beer using the natural spring water.

The Ohio Club is cool place downtown. Rolandos, Porterhouse and The Vault are also good. Deluca's has excellent pizza.

Hunter Woodhall’s story of perseverance would make great television. But the N.C.A.A. can’t lean on Woodhall. Why? In January, frustrated with the organization’s inability to change with the times, he quit running collegiate track and turned professional. He had worked himself into a position where he no longer needed college sports the way they needed him.

Woodhall has over 3.1 million social media followers across various platforms. Those numbers have him poised to bring in significant income from sponsored posts and pay from the social media channels, possibly as much as $800,000 a year, according to an estimate by Opendorse, a social media consulting firm that tracks the brand value of athletes and advises them on how to use online technology as a boost.

“I was just experimenting and having fun and growing it slowly at first,” Woodhall told me recently, speaking from a newly purchased home near the university campus in Fayetteville, Ark. “But then the whole thing just sort of took off.”

Woodhall will spend his time training for the Paralympics while reaping the rewards of being an internet influencer, paid in full. He said he makes roughly $7,500 per post and that it’s not hard to produce 10 each month.
