I am glad to see that common sense won over the Stephen's factor, this has to happen and is truly a good decision for the program.

Everything in this country is based on the dollar. LSU will be a sell out and there are more seats to sell in Fayetteville. If Little Rock could find a way to enlarge War Memorial by about 25 thousand seats you'd hear Petrino talk about how important it is to allow all the people in middle Arkansas see their pride and joy play a major game. He and Broyles have the little guy's best interest in mind at all times and their devotion to the state of Arkansas is overwhelming. Kind of gets you all choked up inside. Abraham Lincoln said "I hope God is on my side but I've got to have Kentucy." Broyles said "I hope the average Arkansan is on my side but I've got to have greenbacks."

Home games should be played at home. Little Rock is not home to the U of A, so the games should all be played "on the hill"

ASU will never be prominent in this state! Get out of the Sun conference and we'll talk.

we love the hogs, I wish the best for them, but there is another university that is gaining exposure and rightfully so...ASU has a chance in the future to gain prominence like the hogs did in their hiring of coach petrino..former ASU assistant, coach mike tomlin of the pittsburg steelers, may someday be "wooed" back for the head coach position...what a boost in recruiting that might bring...then there is that old "broyles control factor" to deal with, the one where UA won't ever play ASU...in-state school rivalries would seem to be a benefit for the state...enough said and you may call me crazy if you please...god bless us and football
