I see PIT.
My friend is a season ticket holder for the Razorbacks and can specify if there are games where he would like additional tickets, so I have not had to concern myself with ordering tickets myself. I was just curious when folks around here were ordering them
I'm glad you brought up the hotel thing, cause I have not finalized where I will be staying but should do it soon and make reservations.

So you will be sitting around the Arkansas fans. I think that this game will easily be a sellout. They will be excited to see the new coach's team play. I wouldn't be surprised if Arkansas fans call WIU's ticket office posing as WIU fans. I heard Nebraska fans were doing that. They will probably give WIU 2,000 and send back about 1000. It's a lot farther than Wisc. and U of I.
I really wish Arkansas had a game scheduled before the WIU game. These games are tough enough and not having any film to watch has got to be hard for the coaching staff to prepare. Same thing happened in 2004 when Callahan began at Nebraska.

WESTERN has announced that the Marching Leathernecks will be making the trip down to Arkansas to play at the WESTERN vs Arkansas football game on August 30th.
So the Band as well as the WESTERN Alumni Association will be present at that game.
One WESTERN. All Leathernecks !!

We should have a good WESTERN crowd at the August 30th game at Arkansas. The WESTERN Alumni Association will be serving a pre-game (Tailgate) meal. Plus the Marching Leathernecks will be making the trip down to play for the game.
One WESTERN. All Leathernecks !!
Go Leathernecks !!

Word up 712,
please, let's get the excitment brewing.
If I'm WIU football I am preparing mentally and physically for an SEC season and Arkansas just happens to be our opener. Hey these guys playing BCS football are just 18 to 23 year old guys just like our guys. Just a bunch of guys that want to be top of there game.
I choose Western to be very competitive againt Arkansas, I don't think Arkansas D is going to be so tough. I feel very good about how Western will represent in Fayetteville.

101,
I was thinking that you need to head to Arkansas and catch some practice. It is open to the public and they are installing a new system. Wait a couple of weeks though because they just started the other day. And don't go to their spring game because they won't show much then. Thats just a PR day to build excitement for the season and is generally a waste of time. Thanks for your help. Keep us posted. Pig Sooie!

That's an interesting post PIT, I was wondering how I would respond to it. I can think of a good many people that would be perfectly OK with the Idea of me droping out of the picture for a week or two
Road trip to Arkansas, I'll sleep in my car for a week. (wont have any money left over after paying for the gas).
First hand scouting would be great but I am quite sure I will not be making a trip before August 29th. I was initially planning on flying but it was going to be more trouble than I thought it would be worth. I will get a rental car. Actually with the speed limit 70 in MO and people routinly running 80. I feel I am lookin at about a 7 to 8 hour drive. I refuse to fly out of O'hare so that was creating some logistical challenges.
