Along with that, the state of the football program for the past decade plus and weather-related issues are the real reasons why WMS stadium hasn't been 100% full. Take those 3 factors away and we aren't having the conversations about whether or not to axe the LR games and you'd have far fewer people screaming "take the games out of LR" and using LR games not fully selling out as an excuse to be petty. I will always support Hog games in LR and I will fight tooth and nail in favor of keeping them, but with us playing a cupcake's cupcake in LR on a Thursday night, I'll be surprised if the stadium is more than 2/3rds full. Luckily, in the past decade, attendance at WMS has only been far below the 80% marked just twice (FAMU in 2017, also on a Thursday and Mizzou in 2019). EDIT: I do know that Coach Z supports the idea of having Hog games in central AR. I do hope Hunter feels that way too with the big 3 sports on the hill. As of now, there isn't a new deal in place between the U of A and WMS. The current deal expires after 2025.
Knew tons of guys on the football team. All the ones I knew hated playing in LR. Just play in your home stadium.... Social media and ease of access to Television makes the LR game less important nowadays
Good bad and ugly our 2000s teams was a pleasure to watch thank you Warmachine #WPS
Man, I miss watching 15 and those receivers carving up everybody. Thanks WM. Been watching your vids for years.
Fun times! I hope they're back!
The receivers we had under Petrino: Adams, Wright, Childs, Hamilton, Williams, Gragg, and many more. Just insane.
Playing in Little Rock is traditional no matter how much people hate it, the problem is we don't have big games there like we used to

Cobi Hamilton loved playing in LR
Ryan mallet RIP! Great video . Hopefully get the offense exciting again like this.
Love your videos!
I wasn't there for this game, but I was at WMS 2 weeks later watching my high school win its first state title since 1958.
This toughhh. More Petrino games please
That's it. Remember the good times.
