does playing Arkansas hurt the image of our program

[oldy hawg]

What a shame...

I don't think the tone of kslimlb3's and some other posts is necessary, but you K-State fans who have posted on this site do kind of deserve it.

I have seen nothing on Arkansas sites posting negatively about K-State. Quite the opposite, the comments I have seen have been respectful and complementary of K-State. Likely not any more since this blog/board has spewed out so much ignorance and insult. So, you might as well brace yourself. I hope most Razorback fans like myself will keep a respectful and intelligent tone, but I wouldn't count on it.

In the meanwhile you can look at the reality posted below on where our two programs level of success ranks nationally and compares to each other. Funny, when I heard we were playing K-State I thought gee... wish we were playing someone with a better national reputation. Then I thought... you know K-State is pretty salty this year. That may be a tough game.

I don't think there is any need for hostility. K-State has a very good team this year. It is very likely that Arkansas will beat K-State. However, K-State is very competitive and it appears to me that they have character not to quit fighting until the game is over. So, I would not be surprised if K-State won - but I think it is very unlikely if Arkansas plays a decent game.  If U of A is off, then K-State may beat them.

Before ignorance continues to rule the day on this K-State fan sight please take a look at reality and wake up.

Arkansas Razorback Football's history / record by far eclipses K-State.
The statements on this board are quite delusional.
The only category that K-State bests UofA is post season % - this is in part because K-State has played in so many fewer post season games (Ark 30, K-State 17)
Arkansas Razorback's winning percentage almost doubles that of K-State.

One of the reasons why these K-State posts on this board are so egregiously ignorant is because historically there is no comparison. K-State doesn't come anywhere close to U of A.
If it were not for Coach Snyder, K-State would not even be respectable.

Someone let the Duggar kids git ahold of a computron:  I'm sorry, folks. Don't you cats worry yer little heads, now.  Arky knows it don't hold no candles to yer asscracks.  

You guys talk really funny.  If you talk you post, that is.

I always talk I post.  Mister.

[TX_HogFan]

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?

LOL, actually Arkansas saw that the old SWC was fail so they left the SWC and joined the SEC (in 1992) the last season for the SWC was1995).

Also, Arkansas has the 1964 National Championship, an all time record of 679-451-40, been to 38 bowl games (KSU has only been to 14), and currently ranked 6th in the BCS (only lost to LSU and Alabama)

I don't think that playing Arkansas will tarnish anything.

[LibraryHog]

Go back to the Pinstripe Bowl, LOL.

[RightMeow]

Wouldn't it hurt the image of ANY program if you were playing against a fan base like this?  

Herp de herp herp!  Imma Prezzidant!

We get NOTHING out of a matchup with a bunch of hillbillies with a 12-23-3 bowl record that have fans so scary looking and imbred that the tv stations have to issue a every time they pan over their fans.

[HogFan82]

Thanks for the entertainment today..

fantastic use of the strike through function oldy hawg

You know what this relaly hurts.  I want to beat those Pig Guys like real bad now.

[TX_HogFan]

Hate to break the news to you people, but you speak pretty confidently for a team picked to finish in the bottom half of a mediocre conference and has a one-dimensional offense. I'm sorry, but Arkansas is going to take your team behind the woodshed and bury the shovel with them. You will be LUCKY if you don't lose by 30+. Truth.  

honest question:  when was the last time arkansas won a championship of any kind?

    Football – 1964
    Basketball – 1994 (runner up in 1995)
    Men's Indoor Track – 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006
    Men's Outdoor Track – 1985, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003
    Men's Cross-Country – 1984, 1986, 1987, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000

and KSU has how many?

[Marine1]

I'm not a fan of either team, but I will say on paper things do not look good for K State

Ark passing offense is 13th and K States passing defense is 104th.  That doesn't make for a good match up.

Ark's total offense and total defense are also rated much higher than K-State's.

On paper this is a one sided match-up in favor of Arkansas.

[CottonChampsEasily]

I saw on the first page that a K-State fan was proud y'all haven't won a NC because you are working on your academic prestige or something?  Well in response to that and all of the Arkansas is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) jokes, let's take a look at the most authoritative college rankings.  We're (Arkansas) ranked 132.  While it's not spectacular and where we want to be.  You all are 143.  http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities/page+15  

Haha and I just read you have a 98.5% acceptance rate.  Ours is 60.4%.  I'm sure you all are great people, and I am glad to see you're football program where it is now.  But haha go back and look at you're first page.  And if you show up to Dallas like you did your regular season games, I look forward to seeing all 10,000 of you.  We'll be there in droves.  

[razoredge178]

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. 

What is your national brand? Yes thats correct. You don' t have one. You're Kansas State...the other Kansas school. You play in a high school stadium.

You should feel lucky to get us. We wanted Baylor. Or Texas. Or Iowa State. Or better yet, any Big 12 school BUT KState.

I'll tell you what will hurt your self-perceived brand...is when you roll into Dallas and we out number your fans 2-1. We'll be buying your tickets. Don't believe it? Call your ticket office and ask how many calls they are getting from Arkansas folks.

Too funny. National brand....LOL. You don't have one.

First, thank you for your service.

Second, the games are not played on paper, they are played on mimeograph machines in LHC Bill Snyder's office.

Things do look good.

ya heard it here first folks

I'm looking at this thread and wondering if any of you people even bothered to read the registration agreement. You know, the one that goes,

"You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law"

And honestly? All of said stuff is incredibly juvenile. I'd have thought that anyone that made it into a University would have SOME semblance of maturity.

woah. New development. Apparently they have now discovered the PM function. We are now at Code Yellow. Code Yellow.

[K-State Is Great!]

So a Hogs fan told me about this blog. Imagine how surprised to see that people in Kansas had internet access in their backwoods shacks? I mean, I already considered Kansas a pretty ass backwards place considering its an agricultural state and only 3% of our nation's workforce works in ag, but to see these morons thinking K-State will actually beat an SEC team? A joke. And to think that people who lay their heads down at night in the State of Kansas were bashing other states? Surely they jest. I'd also be surprised if Coach AARP doesn't stroke out when Joe Adams houses the first kickoff. I'll be there, the kid wearing the Joseph A Bank red and white striped shirt (yes, that's a clothing company and no, they aren't a subsidiary of Carhartt). So bring it on GDI jersey-wearing, backwoods living, wheat thrashing, crappy highways driving, lameass gameday atmosphere enjoying, cold weather enjoying, 14 bowls all-timing, traditionless scum. We will shut you up then keep thrashing your boards for years.
