Suck it up. It's one game/season. No team in the G5 can sustain success over a long period. Be glad you have a program.

We just lost to an Instate team for the first time since World War II. We're not going to be glad about anything thank you very much.

Perspective...seriously. Yes it sucks, but it isn't the end of the world.

I don't think you understand the consequences in Arkansas of losing to an instate school in football that's seen as beneath you.

It's a different world here than Texas with it's twelve million football playing programs.

UTA opened the 1985 season with a loss to Angelo St, an in-state DII team. Attendance fell to its second worst average in eight years. That was a primary reason for the disbandment. I get it more than anyone else.

Y'all ain't there. It a sucky loss, but not one that is insurmountable. No solid recruit will choose UCA over stAte cause of this game. No scheduling issues will arise cause of this game. No program will be lost cause of this game.

Momentum will be lost and attendance will decline, but that's the nature of college athletics. North Texas was once the crown jewel of the SBC. Troy dominated then has put up five non-winning seasons in a row. USM put up 12 wins, followed by 2 losses then two more losing seasons. The MAC has a roller coaster of teams at the top of its game, with only EMU seemingly never able to get there.

Every team thinks the same when they lose a game like this. Yet almost every team has lost to an FCS school, most in-state at some point. It sucks, I get it. But in a few short months, only the diehards will be stressing over it, and no where near the current level.
