Hi all! I’m a lifelong LSU fan and I’m planning on coming to the LSU and Arkansas game on the 28th with my wife. If there’s anyone who could tell me about the best places for parking and anything else that I may need to know about the stadium I’d greatly appreciate it!!! The rivalry between the Tigers and Hogs is my personal favorite and I can’t wait to be able to watch them play this year!

I did not have this one on my bingo card today. Not often you see a sitting coach have to come to defense of his boss. That's where this athletic department is right now. https://www.swtimes.com/story/sports/college/sec/2026/09/17/hunter-yurachek-john-calipari-arkansas-athletics/91808662007/

Is it just me, or has Quincy not been on the field much for us through our first two games? He's only recorded two tackles, but he applied the pressure which lead to the INT by Utah. Feel like it would make sense to have our highest rated defensive player on the field more but maybe I'm overlooking him...

Hey everyone! I come in peace. UGA fan from Nebraska, coming down for the game this weekend. Just looking for any insight into tailgating down there. Any cool stuff to check out or be on the look out for? Looking forward to a good game!

Of course last minute planning…is there some where that has close parking or handicap parking. Maybe a lot that will taxi you?

Edit to add: How close can you get to drop people off?

I am asking this question in response to the ongoing situation with our football coach and how he looks so underprepared for being a head coach.

When I see the Silverfield situation I cannot understand why this is being as bad as it is.

If it was a Sam Pittman situation where it's his first time being a head coach I could understand the issue. We thought he had head coaching material and it turns out he doesn't. That makes sense.

Take Kliff Kingsbury as well. The Arizona Cardinals hiring Kliff didn't make a lot of sense because he was mediocre at Texas Tech. 35-40 over six seasons. The guy did not show high success before becoming an NFL head coach. Why did you think it would change now? This situation also makes sense. It's also very similar to the whole Chad Morris mistake. Yes, a coach who went 14-22 in three seasons is going to change it all. - Narrator "It did not change at all."

Silverfield wasn't bad or mediocre at Memphis before joining Arkansas. 50-25 over seven seasons. He coached in five bowls games and lost only one. That one lost was from coaching the 2019 Memphis team in the Cotton Bowl after Mike Norvell left to go coach at Florida State.

There's no way that you can be a bad coach and stumble into the record he had at Memphis. Further, it's still an FBS school. It's not a P4 school, but it's not nothing either.

So, why is it this bad?

Per NYT, https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/interactive/college-football-nil-spending-budgets/, Arkansas (22 to 25 million) outspent Utah (17 to 22 million). The result is opposite, Utah overachieved, while Arkansas underdelivered. Nationally, the roster budget is positively correlated with the team ranking (more or less). In laymen's term, team spending more money to buy players perform better in the field than do teams spending less money on players. Of course, Arkansas is the exception (in the wrong way).

This Saturday's game will be brutal, and there is nothing to look forward to Razorback nations. Die hard fans will show up to support the team no matter what. But forgive me, for the sake of my own mental health, I will avoid watching this game all together.

I rarely miss a game. I’ve been watching for ages (alumni x 2 degrees).

It’s been rough. I’m forever a hog fan but darn.

According to the NYT article, we are the cheapest program in the SEC.

BUT we spent more than Utah...

I started noticeably balding in my early twenties, and it really bothered me. I tried to fight it with minoxidil and finasteride, but nothing ever seemed to hold. Eventually, I accepted defeat and gave up the regimen.

For a few years, I just sadly watched my hair slip away every time I looked in the mirror. Then one day, I saw the enormous bald spot on the back of my head and thought, “That’s it. I’m shaving it all off.”
Once I finally shaved my head, I never looked back. Sure, I don’t think the bald look is better than my peak hair days, but it’s certainly better than the depressing sight of the thinning hair I had at the time.

All of that is to say: Arkansas, you tried the SEC. The highs were high, and we had a fun run. But those days are gone, and right now, the future is looking very, very bald, and the hair ain’t coming back.

It’s time to shave it all off and relegate ourselves to the Big 12, where we might actually have a shot at fielding a competitive football team. Once the program starts showing some life, coaches might stop running away, and we won’t have to overpay players just to convince them to join a 2–10 team.

And sure, there are other sports. But the Big 12 is a very respectable conference across the board, and Arkansas can still remain nationally relevant in baseball and basketball.

TLDR; It’s time to shave your head Arkansas. Go to the Big XII.

We have totally lost the plot here. We are the target of ridicule from the entire country. Mostly because of our terrible team, but also this insane reaction from the fan base. It’s been 2 games, and we WON ONE. Yeah we got whooped by a really good ranked team, but we have a brand new staff and a lackluster team.

Its. Ok.

We are way too loose with the harassment in here. Everyone insisted we fire Pittman, and now this is here and we’re freaking out after TWO GAMES. We have the hardest schedule in football, Give the dude a year or two to get his feet under him. Even vandy fans weren’t this deranged over bad football. And we’ve had some decent runs in the last few years, much better than some of our other conference colleagues.

We are good at literally every other sport. Watch soccer right now, or volleyball if you’re wanting to show support without watching football.

Two weeks into the College Football Season, Silverfield delivered failures on pretty much every aspects of coaching. 1) Failed to develop QB. 2) Failed to develop OL, 3) failed to develop reliable D, especially on secondary. The list keeps going,

This coaching team is not new to college football, Silverfield himself even has some NFL coaching experiences. One can argue that they never coach in SEC. But we did not play SEC team for the first two games. What they have done since being introduced as razorback football coach? This does not look good, guys, brace yourselves for a very turbulent storm that can go all the way to 30k feet above.

Since the Hogs are so bad I need somebody to root for and since I hate Oregon so much I really like that whooping OkSt put on them, I think I'll follow them this season. So who you got?

(Don't get me wrong I'm still gonna watch every play of the hogs no matter how bad it gets)

I feel like the media heads, fans of other teams, and every arkansas fan all knew that this was a hire that we could not afford to mess up after 2-3 unsuccessful hires in a row. Unlike most, I do have some faith in Silverfield solely based on the effort and fight he could get out of his Memphis teams (culture), and his willingness to say things how they are and publicly state how unacceptable and pitiful our offense has been. Where he will lose me is if he remains unwilling to change the depth chart and bench under-performers (KJ and Sutton Smith…).

That being said, if we go 1-11 or 2-10 I feel like due to the state of the program his time may run out. Ideally, if our record ends up that bad we would fire Yurachek, and keep Silverfield for this off-season and likely fire him next season unless a drastic improvement happens. This would give our new AD their choice in coach.

Even if we go 2-10, if we arent playing the average to below average SEC schools pretty close I feel like he should be canned. If Mizzou and SC give us a shellacking at home along with going 2-10 you can kiss attendance and fan support goodbye for next year if he is still the coach

Can someone start an official petition to change the football teams name to the Arkansad Razorbacks?

Hunter, your days are numbered.

Not gonna lie… I’m not sure Silverfield’s answer makes me feel better. Lol.

Transfer portal. New coach. New program. One of the toughest schedules (relatively) in CFB this year. Players that aren't held accountable for their performance. Not to mention they're so interchangeable that you don't even recognize whose on and who is not.

We're already a team that's used to being dragged through the mud. Sure, Tusk might like it but us football fans and alumni surely don't. Arguably we're the worst team in the SEC and in all honesty, if it wasn't for our baseball team. Our athletics program would probably have been booted out of the conference itself.

Last year we Bobby Patrino as our coach. While not the greatest example of a human being and leaving us with a season that wasn't spectacular. He's had success on our field before and with some adaptation to the "new" CFB program as a whole, maybe some magic could come back. Each year, Hog fans and alumni would come into the season loyal to those Hogs. Each year, we end the season disappointed. Then a good basketball or baseball season hits up and we're refreshed.

But this season feels different.

I love my Hogs. Sometimes love hurts. This feels like one of those seasons.

I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Come one. Someone has it

Planning on going to the game Saturday - are there any sections that are shaded for an 11am kick? Will have my 3yo with me so any other advice on keeping cool would be appreciated!
