Cue "Don't they owe us a game in Memphis?"

excellent

I wonder if one of those away games will be in Little Rock. That was such a great easy trip back in the 90's.

Especially nice that we get ours first. If we are going to do 2 for 1, that is how we should do it. Don't give them the opportunity to drop the series before they come here.

That's awesome! That's also 6 years away. I would have hoped we could have canceled some of this SunBelt mess and replaced it with this kind of stuff. But I will take what we can get. My dad introduced me to the Tigers and Big Jack when I was a little kid, but now is a big Rasorback fan living in Mountain Home. He loves both teams. I hope he lives long enough to see it.

Geoff talking to Doc Holliday and he mentioned playing in LR too back in the 90's...by that time Mark, LR may no longer be an option

Now, get the basketball series with those plastic pig hat wearing F-ers started back too

Looking ahead at future marquee OOC home games
2021: Mississippi State
2023: Missouri
2025: Arkansas
Definitely improving..

I would be a bit surprised if they are still playing in LR by then. They are already dropping SEC games in LR and there is a massive push to eliminate all games in LR.

Great deal! I hope we can do more Memphis/Power 5 deals.

If I were a rank & file Arkansas fan, I would be pissed about that. That is a loooooong way to drive for a lot of the state. Did you guys and gals know, AR is actually bigger than TN? I had no idea 'til I looked it up in an atlas last year.

yea, it's depressing to drive over the M bridge and see the Welcome to Arkansas sign, only to have to drive another 5+ hours to get up here

Lots of eastern AR fans will enjoy a game in Memphis.... til we whip 'em.

First game in Memphis. Second two in Fayetteville.

Giannotto also says that Memphis will receive 1 million for the extra road game in 2028.
Pretty good deal.

Man, I wish this was happening sooner, like THIS season!! I moved to Northwest Arkansas 3 years ago and Tiger fans are few and far between up here.
FYI, both away games are at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville. I cannot wait for this!! Will be interesting to see what both teams look like in 6 years.
