Very good game. Too bad John Thompson is out of a job. He must have done a super job of keeping those guys together after all they've been through the past few years. Freddie Knighten did a very good job. He came back after throwing the oskie that would have put the game away, and led the Woofs on the winning drive. And cudos to the defense on blocking the kick on the FG attempt.

Too bad they didn't get any decent coverage from the sorry Democrap newspaper. One little article about the game. One article about the new coach being there, and not one game photo. Did the coverage surprise anyone?

Really haven't watched the bowl games until last night. Only really care about the championship game and the bowls will be even more meaningless starting next year with the playoff. I did watch the second half of last night's game and it was a good one. Actually, ASU probably got more coverage than I expected from the Democrap. Of course, if the hogs were in a bowl there would be a ten page extra pull out section talking about everything they did including how many times they went to the bathroom.

I'm guessing that if the Woofs had lost the game, there would have been something on the front page, and probably a much bigger game article, in order to have room to mention how weak the Sun Belt is, because Ball State and the MAC conference were so weak. Boy, I'll bet they hated to have to send one reporter to cover "that other Arkansas school," that was actually in a bowl game, and then had the nerve to win it(two years in a row).

No mention of how many times the Woofs had to pee at the game. If the hogs had been playing, and the Democrap was covering the coaches bathroom, as we know they would have, they would have had a photographer there with a photo in the paper if the bathroom didn't have a lock on the door.

It would be the same way if the Trojans got to the NCAA tournament and actually won a game. I'm looking forward to the day when the impersonator of a newspaper actually goes out of business. It'll save me $28 a month. I hope I live long enough to see that happen.

The Woofs made ESPN Sports Center this morning. Had a nice clip on a trick reverse, and then showed them blocking the kick to win the game.
Good coverage.04-cheers
dont understand the constant hatred of the d-g on this board. their job is to sell papers. hogs fans outnumber everyone else in the state 10000 times over. they write about the hogs. case closed. no one cares about us unfortunitely.

Unfortunately, I think we get about what we deserve. I've said all along. We have to do something special to get the recognition we want. Either win big, make a coaching change, change conferences, give away used cars, something out of the ordinary. Those are things that create news. Playing in a good, but not great conference, and not getting to the post season regularly doesn't help you get much press. Yes. The games are written about, at least after the fact, but it's not a high priority. As you say, the Hogs are the dominating force in the state, so they get the pub.04-cheers

Chicken or the egg? If the local paper and television stations gave us the coverage they should give the only DI program in the city, maybe more folks would be interested- and they might actually know when we are playing at home.

We've talked about this for years. It's the same as the administration.
Until the powers that be retire or leave, things will remain the same.
All the griping in the world isn't going to change things.04-cheers

That's a thought, but only makes sense if you believe Razorback fans would stop reading the paper if ASU got any sort of coverage.

They choose to cover the hogs because Wally and the powers that be over there still live in the 20th century when the Razorbacks were everything, and any coverage of another school got you unwanted attention.

We all knew what would happen the day Harsin left for Boise and Wally wrote a column trying to get us to hire Tim Horton, and telling us we would not get back to a bowl for a long time.

I don't give a damn how bad we are, as the hometown team, our program deserves better coverage than we get. I don't even think we should get the same amount of coverage as the hogs get, but we deserve better than we get. Just like the last games at Arlington, they don't even give us box scores for those games.

Not giving a box score or sending a reporter to our games gives the impression we are bush league. We aren't going to convert many hog fans. But it always irritates me when I meet someone who has recently moved here from out-of-state and are already indoctrinated into hogdom. When I tell them there is a Division I team in Little Rock they are often surprised. Transplants may be our best source for new fans, but because of our lack of coverage they rarely get exposed to our program unless they are the type of fan that will go out of their way to get that type of information. They used to have some type of organization that gave some type of "welcome package" to new residents in West Little Rock. If it still exists, we should make sure each package contains 2 free tickets and a brochure about our program. Won't happen, but I think it is a good idea.

It's the only paper Little Rock has. Jonesboro, Pine Bluff, NW Arkansas, etc. all have their own papers. The Democrat goes statewide, but I wonder what percent of folks in other cities choose the Democrat over their local paper. The reality is, my kids, who are 23 and 28 have never bought a paper in their lives and rarely glanced at the paper when they lived at home. Point being that newspapers will be history in the not too distant future.

Yes, we are the hometown team. We're in LR and the Democrap is in LR, and the midget sports editor is a UALR grad.

mjs mentioned that we should be getting some of the transplants that move to LR, and we might do that if we got some decent coverage from the paper and the TV media. I'm from Little Rock, but didn't attend UALR, and most of the fans that I know personally didn't attend UALR. So if we could get our graduates and some of the transplants to become fans, we might actually start to grow our fan base, rather than lose it from year to year. We do have a few hog fans that watch the Trojans, I assume because it is handy and they just like to watch basketball. No doubt their first loyalty to the hogs, but that is okay too. And I would pull for the hogs myself if they and the media weren't so arrogant. And the midget had the nerve to call Alabama, Texas, and Ohio State arrogant programs. No program is more arrogant than the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.

I would say the same. When I say "they" I am referring to certain people mostly media and arrogant jerk fans. Many of the fans are just ignorant and but a few Hog fans are actually respectful and supportive. I don't lump them all together. Those tend to be actual graduates of the school, though. Level headed people who are not among the ignorant masses nor politically motivated media suck-ups (who get paid to stir the masses).

I have fond memories of calling the hogs at WMS during the Hatfield years. I was thrilled in visiting Barnhill arena in the off season when I was 8 years old (man did it look tiny with the seats folded up) when my older brother was going to Eddie Sutton's camp. I was a huge Razorback basketball fan thanks to KATV televising all those games back in 1979-82. I savored hawgball and the 1990 and 1994 Final Fours and the 94 championship. I adopted OSU when I moved to Oklahoma. It seemed natural to root for Eddie.

It was nice to have a home team to pull for. When I tried to do the same for UALR, the reaction was not one I was expecting. So I cooled off on UAF. I root for the athletes and coaches and wish them well, but I don't go out of my way to support them, attend games or anything like that. Besides, I actually attended and got a degree from UALR, so anything that bolster UALR is a credit to me. I don't get the snubbing that UALR grads do (not THAT pisses me off). Kind of like their fans do by-in-large to ASU and UALR. I don't wear or display Razorback merchandise, either. Cal me irreligious toward Hogism. I'm not that religious toward UALR for that matter. I'm a somewhat normal college sports fan not unlike what you find elsewhere in the country.
Never will forget the time several years ago that I was in Walmart at the same time the hogs were on TV. The checker said "aren't you missing the hog game?" I said no, I'm not a hog fan. She looked at me like I had the plague or something, and said, "you must be a communist." I didn't know whether to laugh or be pissed off.

I was at a visitation for a family member and someone asked me if I was going to watch the pigs game with Miss State in Little Rock a couple days later. I mentioned I was not a pig fan, and I got this strange look followed by. "Oh, you must be family from out of state. Where are you from?

When I responded with "Little Rock" and told her I was an ASU fan, she said "Well you must like to be different then." and walked away.

She was actually offended that I don't cheer for the Razorbacks yet live in Arkansas. I admit, living in Jonesboro for 8 years has me sheltered, I had forgotten about that attitude, because its no longer a problem in NEA.

A week later after the pigs blew the LSU game, I went into a restaurant to eat wearing ASU gear. I was met with a departing watch party, and some elderly gentlemen a couple tables over got offended when he caught me laughing at their struggles, and he began to make loud comments in front of the whole restaurant about how ASU isn't a real team, and how dumb our graduates are, and how we are just wannabe's who will never amount to anything. I ended up with a shouting match with some random 65 year old in the middle of a restaurant. I think his family finally convinced him after a couple minutes of comments asking if the Razorbacks had won an SEC game lately to give it up.

I've been avoiding Little Rock like the plague ever since.

Two critical incidents happened during the 1995 SBC tournament that made me drop Hogism after being a fan of about 15 years: 1) being told to sit down and not join in the UALR chant that the Trojans in Motion were leading by a fellow Sigma Nu alum at the Semifinals game with UNO (not all of them are like that BTW, right ez272?), and 2) hearing a man at the off-campus bookstore groan and sneer about having to find a Trojan gift for his boss who is "a big Trojan fan". I said "you say that as if there's something wrong with it." He just rolled his eyes and said he does not get it. After those two events, I decided that I don't live in AR anymore (I was in grad school in Tulsa, but visiting that week) so I don't have to practice the "faith" anymore. I will root for my Alma Mater like a normal (outside of AR) person and reject the cultural programming. I have my childhood memories of Hog glory to savor, but know that it came at a price, a price I no longer wish to pay. I don't have to be a jerk about it, just don't feel obligated to tone it down or apologize.

What galls me is that now I am a Trojan first, we haven't done much since then to brag about, except Derek Fisher. It seemed back in the late 90's there was a chance. But it never panned out.

Yeah, I remember growing up in hogdom. My grandparents bought me Little Rock Season Tickets every year when I was a kid. I remained a fan for a while, but after I went to ASU I began to discover a lot of Arkansas fans that had ASU or UALR diploma's that would talk down about their alma mater. That, and some nice help from my dislike of Houston Nutt drove me away from the pigs.

I became an ASU fan first at a time when we were mediocre, so I am thrilled obviously to have something to hold over Razorback fans.

ASU is now the only team in the state of Arkansas to win a bowl game in back to back years. I never even stopped to think about that.

Are you saying the pigs have NEVER done this? If this is true the delusions of grandeur among hog faithful may be at close to psychotic proportions. Must be a good time to be an ASU football fan- two straight bowl wins while the hogs have gone 4-8 and 3-9. Can't get much better.
