does playing Arkansas hurt the image of our program
« on: December 04, 2011, 09:39:54 PM »
Just wondering what you guys think about playing Arkansas.  I don't know anything about them but I think they're considered "small time" as it relates to the college football world. 

I am worried that people will associate them when they think about KSU football and I'd hate to hurt our national brand/image.  We have the second most recognizable program behind Notre Dame and I don't want to tarnish it.

Is Arkansas like the Texas Tech of the SEC?

it's a bowl game. we didn't schedule it and don't have a choice in the matter. i think most people know that and aren't going to hold it against us or whatever.

As long as we can convince the FOX crew to not pan to their fans in the crowd, we'll be ok.  The helmets cover the players anyway.

Back-to-back games against Iowa State and Arkansas is really going to tarnish our rep.  JFC, is there a hillbillier state than Arkansas?!  AND we have to play them in Dallas so their poor ass fanbase gets to drive their jalopies all Beverly Hillbillys style.  I really feel bad for the fine folks of DFW.

Would declining save our rep?  Might just make matters worse for our rep.

no way you can really decline. it's the hand we've been dealt and we really just have to show up, play them and then get out asap and never ever talk about it again. jmo.

Classic lose-lose for us.  If you fight the Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!), you're a dick.  If you refuse, well you're a pussy who's afraid to fight a poor ass, inbred, methhead Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) who lives near a giant walmart.

Is this one of the teams that wears kind of a maroon/burgundy type of color? Forgive my LSECIQ, but I can never keep those directional schools straight.

Arkansas is one of those old SWC teams that we didn't let in the Big12, right?  Like TCU only now TCU is better than them so they're in, no?

Have we ever played a program with more Wal-mart employee fans?!! KU maybe....but idk :dunno:   This is really going to hurt our program image in the long run. Also heard a rumor that they weren't even going to play us because their school was the original "Afraid of Texas" and they know we own that place.

So, is 10.5 the number of teeth/person we're giving them?  Seems kinda low, I don't see most of their fanbase having more than a dozen or so teeth.

Does the SEC still have quotas about how many non-white players can be on the field at a time?  I didn't believe, but my uncle forwarded me an email.  Don't shoot the messenger here, just asking..

I think playing a school that's so outlandishly racist will certainly hurt our crystal clear image of a program. I mean, do black people even have rights there? Or jobs? Mizzou will fit in perfectly with those guys. Getting rid of them was definitely good for us.
