I remember reading that and thinking, "what a pitiful and classless thing to say." Sour grapes anyone?

Whether Coach English was being classless or disrespectful in not really the issue. Compared to middle and upper tier teams in the SEC, we are "just okay". If we don't have a full 4 quarter performance against USC that matches our first half performance against EMU we will lose to an SEC middle tier team this Saturday. And that will put us in the bottom of the SEC along with Vandy, UK, and possibly MSU. If so, we're not very good.

No more Eastern Michigans. Play ASU in LIttle Rock every year, split the tickets and keep the $650K in state. A great rivalry game with the Hogs losing once every 15 years.

I agree with oink2u2. Let's keep the money instate. LSU does it in Louisiana, why can't we with ASU?

I don't think playing ASU would be a benefit to U of Arkansas. The negative consequences could be to polarize our fan base. I agree with Frank Broyles for once. Don't play them.
