Is the Walmart guy an arKansas alum? Friend of mine visited that school (on a dare) and he said the student union was a Walmart. True story.

Isn't Larry the Cable guy one of their big boosters?

Seriously, I hate that our school has to be mentioned in the same sentance as those people. GROSS!

William T. Dillard- founder of the store dillards.

When I did a p/t college job stint at Dillard's, rather than adjust the thermostat to appropriate levels during extremely hot or cold days, management would claim that they had no local control over the thermostat and that it was solely controlled by an operator in Arkansas. So I guess I'd say that temperature operator is up there with the most famous Arkansas'rs, at least from a Manhattan Town Center perspective.

Pete, you are a complete idiot, who apparantly does not mind showing his ignorance. I'm going to type real big so you can understand SCOTTIE PIPPEN IS NOT AN ALUMNI of U OF A, he is an alum of UCA. You people in kansas are going to be fun to make fun of if your all as ignorant as this guy. Just sayin. WPS!!!

This would be a lot more fun if the pig fans weren't so slow.
Not that I'm surprised. Visited in-laws in west Arkansas once. Emaciated little redneck married to wife's aunt said he was going to go out and shot some cans. MexiCans, AfriCans.

Definitely Bill Clinton. It's odd that some Razorback fans don't claim him.

Do you mean Kansas as a State, or Kansas State University?

Pete, you are a complete idiot, (comma splice) who ~~apparantly~~ (apparently) does not mind showing his ignorance. I'm going to type real(ly) big so you can understand SCOTTIE PIPPEN IS NOT AN ~~ALUMNI~~ ALUMNUS of U OF A, he is an alum of UCA. You people in kansas are going to be fun to make fun of if ~~your~~ (you're) all as ignorant as this guy. Just sayin'. WarPS!!!

So was this post a joke? If not, beyond the obvious part where you took the bait, your English is atrocious. Do they not even teach that subject at U of A? I know English and grammar are secondary on a message board, but at least try to make it readable.

at Pete being the ignorant one.

Scottie Pippen was born in Hamburg, Arkansas, and attended college at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway.

I mean, jfc, it says it pretty clearly right there in bold size 18 font on Wikipedia. This guy, I'm telling you.

The tooth will give you a big advantage over most of the piggie fans.

I think the dudes in the gray went to Arkansas and were a part of their ROTC program.

The dude in the Blue with the purple medal obviously attended KSU distance education.

TXHOG · « **Reply #22 on:** December 05, 2011, 01:05:51 PM »

Mocat you really are as dumb as you look. Read your wikipedia quote again dumbass. It's pretty clear that it says University of CENTRAL Arkansas, which is in Conway, not Fayetville and they are not even remotely associated with each other.
