Much like a Ghetto in an inner city or a trailer park in any southern state, it's ridiculously hard to escape that poverty.

Bill actually had to become a Governor to earn up enough scratch to pay for his U-Haul.  It's sad really.  :dunno:

WPS!!!

Honest question: When the SEC held its rally cry teleconference to determine who could come up with the most nonsensical phrase possible, was the Arkansas rep making love to his prized sow or was "Woo Pig Sooie!" a concerted effort? TIA. I'll listen off air.

So are you going to narrow it down to one or is it all those against Scottie?  I don't know, seems kind of unfair that he'd have to outfamous that whole list.

So illustrious alums are people who amounted to something in your godforsaken state. Pretty low bar and makes it all the more perplexing that you guys keep blacklisting Pippin.

Clinton went to Georgetown, Oxford, Yale. Got the eff out of arkiesaw as quickly as possible for his education.
Ross Perot?

He was on the faculty at the UA law school, I'm assuming that's what the previous poster meant.

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!
Scottie Pippen didnt go to Arkansas....you K State guys really dont do research before you post.

Mocat, surely you didn't or don't attend KSU do you?  If you do, the admissions must be really low.  Cape Girardeau is in MO you douchebag, and Scottie Pippen still did not attend nor play for the HOGS!!!
