Razorback Football

[Hizog]

You know me.  I never DON'T go.  Unless something else pressing is going on. I did, however, leave DWRRS in the 2nd Quarter Saturday.  I've only left maybe 10 games early in 25 years of attending razorback football games as a season ticket holder.  I didn't leave the TN game in Knoxville when they scored 35 unanswered points in the first quarter.  I didn't leave 70-13 USC over AR in Los Angeles early.  I could just tell the team had given up.  We had our tailgate broke down and loaded up before the game was over.

That said, Saturday is all about the tailgate.  I'll go in the game for sure.  I have tix in that new Big Red's Rooftop bar area.  I'll stay up there, have a few drinks, then head back to the tailgate for more shenanigans.

Maybe you've posted your thoughts and I've missed it, but in light of your comment above, I'm genuinely curious what you think about Pittman's future.

We are #95 out of 133.  Seems high.  Only SEC team lower is Vanderbilt.  One of our two FBS victories is #133.  The other is #58.  Another school from Arkansas is 1 spot ahead of us.

What does it matter? You could have the second coming of Joe Mantegna back there and this oline would just have him shell-shocked after one quarter

how much are tix for the bar? And is it timed or you fry to stay for entire game?

Planning to get back next fall for a game so I will see ya then

I do not recall the price for tix up there but this is for FIU so I think it was something like $50 each.  And no, it's not timed.  But if you want a rail seat, you'd want to get there before gates open to line up.  We haven't sat there yet but have plenty of friends who have.  They've bought them separately (like we did) and went up there for the novelty for a while then went to their regular seats which is probably what Dee and I will do.

My thoughts are that after the FL game, Pittman was coming back next year with the idea that he needed to look at his staff.  Get a big name OC.  Cut ties with Kennedy.  ETC.  After that humiliating shit Saturday, I think his days are numbered.  I truly love the guy.  Have talked to him on several occasions and he's cool as hell but that doesn't win games.

so you can't just buy tickets for just the bar you gotta buy entry tickets for a seat plus the bar? Damn. I guess the $50 doesn't include any drinks

I was told before the Miss St. game, you could just buy tickets to the bar, without buying tickets to the game. Contrary to what I read on the Arkansas Football website. How that works with getting into the stadium and not sitting wherever you want, is confusing. Is there a separate entrance just for the bar?

Nope.  You pay 50 just to get the opportunity to buy 10 dollar beers. 

It's cool though.  There are tvs everywhere.  I sat at the bar but lots of seating in the patio area too. 

Our ticket got us in the stadium.  Took the elevator up to the roof.

That pretty much settles it. When even the most supportive fans don't see a path forward, the AD doesn't have much choice. This is probably the fastest I've seen a coach lose the confidence of the fanbase.

Yes.  This is the way.  Your ticket to the bar area is your ticket into the stadium.  Your regular ticket into the stadium does not give you access to the bar but your bar only ticket gets you access to the rest of the stadium.  And yes, it's like $50 per ticket for the privilege of buying $10 beers.

I already have my season tickets.  I bought the extra tickets to the game just to go sit at the bar.  I kept my other tickets so I have 4 tickets at the cost of probably $250 for the privilege of going to the bar to buy $10 beers AND go sit in my seat and watch RAZORBACK FOOTBALL.

Took the elevator up to the roof.

That doesn't seem like a safe place to take Razorback football fans to.

[Pumpkin Escobar]

What a sad fucking thread this is.

Embrace the horror.

A mediocre employee got caught looking at porn (Mississippi St.)

For 2 weeks he sat up straight and flied right, had a clean browser history, and turned in a good project/analysis.

The next week he attached 2 Girls 1 Cup to an email sent Reply All.

Not even close. Morris lost the fanbase in year 1.

Pittman is in year 4.

...and this is how I will explain to my kids why the "jukebox coach" was fired.

I don't mean over his entire tenure.  I'm talking about over the past two months. Then again over this weekend. Morris never really had results on the field to give anyone confidence. There were a lot of people who were confident in Sam even until mid-September of this year. I don't know anyone who is now.

Gotcha! Yep, I don't know anyone who does either.

I think that's the hard part with Sam.  Everyone thinks he is a great dude who really cares, but the job is now beyond him.  Chad was a dick few liked from the beginning, Bert was that a mixed badly, and bmfp didn't give a fuck.
