If UA was willing to play you guys in a 2fer 1 if it was 2 games in Fayetteville, and the stAte "home game" bring in Little Rock. Would you guys go for it???
Home and home only.
They ain't special, and we can find better teams to play.

They had decades to line it up on their terms. They chose not to.

This is why the SBC needs a bowl tie in with the SEC. The match ups could be awesome.

We're talking about folks who turned down a mens NIT bid when it looked like it would be against UALR.
UALR women got sent to the west coast one year.
We won't be meeting them in a bowl game even with a tie in.

Blake Anderson has said he'd play them in the parking lot. But they'd have to play stAte in a parking lot in Jonesboro in return if Mohajir is involved.

The Razorbacks are the guy at the local gym that talks trash about everyone's game, but when challenged, makes up a reason why he can't play.
After living in different parts of Arkansas I've determined that the dumbest group of Hogs fans reside in Northeast Arkansas. The difference being that most (that I've encountered) in Central AR and NW AR are somewhat educated and will say the Hogs are trash when they are. Northeast AR Hogs fans are a rare breed. Team could go 2-10 and they'd still argue they are better than A-State.

Some ULM fans when we play LSU

I'd play 2 for 1 if they pay our rate for the non-returned game.

I wouldn't.
And, it would have to be much more than a 3 game agreement, before I would be interested in scheduling them.
We don't need a game with them to achieve our goals.
Home and home, or a ten year deal for an annual game in Little Rock (tickets divvied out by each team's percentage of the season tickets sold by both teams in the previous season). That would be all I would give them.
I'd like to see the game, but I've come to believe that "the policy" has, and at this time, still continues, to work in our favor.

Oh I agree it's helping us.
If I were AD at Arkansas, I'd schedule UAPB first and UCA second before ever calling AState and then if AState won't take my terms shrug my shoulders and say I tried but they were unreasonable and at that point it no longer fits our goals very well.

Accept their terms the first time. Then at some point when you beat them...insist on new terms.
They either meet the new fairer terms or suck on us bragging about the last game forever.

RE: "The Game" making news in Arkansas...again
Interesting twitter dust up @ a Pizza Joint opening up a restaurant in Jonesboro (had been doing business in other parts of Arkansas).
They have "Razorback Punch" and GO HOGS! on their menu and nothing about stAte. Someone tweeted an image of the menu @ the company calling them out. Others joined in the fun in protest. Apparently they caved already and are adding Red Wolf Punch.
