We followed the Tide to Northwest Arkansas last week, and were pleasantly surprised by what we found. The Fayetteville/Springdale/Bentonville metro area is lovely. I mean it. We’ll almost certainly be making our return trip in 2010.
We landed at the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport (by way of Delta through Atlanta) around 3ish Friday afternoon, picked up [...]

Arkansas From The Couch
Published in September 24th, 2008
I had vowed to myself to get From The Couch up by no later than Tuesday every week, but the things at work they are a little crazy this week. So here we are pushing this dog on a Wednesday, and not only that but we might not give the Arkansas game quite as many [...]
Unsung Heros - Arkansas Game
Published in September 23rd, 2008
With the total domination of the Hawgs on Saturday there are plenty of candidates for UH this week. Bama hasn’t dismantled a competitive (cough, cough) team like that in what seems like ages. For the record, I am still not convinced Clemson is any good. They do play in the ACC, after all.

Monday Quick Five for Arkansas
Published in September 22nd, 2008
And, I use the term “quick” loosely.
I’m going to post our full Road Trip Report soon, but I wanted to get a couple of quick things out this morning.
First and foremost, a salute to our Arkansas hosts. They were as gracious and kind as we’ve encountered on our travels. Generally, they were not tickled about [...]
Road Trip: Fayettenam
Published in September 18th, 2008
We’re off to Fayettenam (my nickname for Fayetteville) via Delta Airlines tomorrow around lunch. We’re hoping for a weekend full of good times and cooked pig - literally and figuratively.
We asked the kind folks at Razorback Expats (who do a really nice job covering the Hogs) to help us out with a little travel planning. [...]
Preview: Arkansas Razorbacks
Published in September 17th, 2008
The real football season is finally here. No more games against directional universities or overrated media hyped teams. Nope. It is time for big boy football. SEC football.
The Tide travels to nowhereville (or Fayetteville, AR, as the locals call it) to square off with the Arkansas Razorbacks. Arkansas is 2-0 on the season after having [...]
Arkansas vs. Texas Rescheduled
Published in September 11th, 2008
With Hurricane Ike barreling towards the Texas coast with an expected weekend land fall, the game scheduled for this Saturday between the University of Texas and Arkansas has been rescheduled for September 27.
What does this have to do with Alabama? The Tide matches up with the Razorbacks a week from Saturday in Fayetteville. Instead of [...]
What We Learned About the SEC in Week 2

Another week, another lackluster SEC schedule. Let’s run down last weekend’s games and what wisdom those games imparted upon us.
South Carolina 17, Vanderbilt 24
The weekend started off with a bang, with one of the most exciting games of the weekend going down on Thursday night.
This game was fairly even in the box score, and if [...]

As we reported, Arkansas and Alabama will face off on Raycom Sports September 20 in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The 11:30 kick will be the Tide’s first Raycom game of 2008.
We’ll be on the scene in Fayetteville, and will have our comprehensive and award winning road trip guide available next week. OK, so it’s just comprehensive. It’s [...]
What We Learned About the SEC in Week 1
Published in September 1st, 2008
Posted by Ell in Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Football, Georgia, LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, SEC, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
Some thoughts about the SEC after just the first game…
Mississippi State and Arkansas will play for last place in the West
On November 22, Arkansas will travel to Mississippi State and play for 5th place in the West. The loser will dwell in the cellar.
