Tyler was a warrior that day but he also left mid-4th quarter. Williams led us on a drive to win the game (we missed a 40 yard FG, of course), and then won the game in OT on a QB run.

I would imagine they are still butt hurt about R. Perry as well. Some idiots were tweeting him the day he signed saying " I hope it was your decision and not your parents"...WTF is wrong with people? Twitter is out of control allowing dumbass lunatic fringe fans access to prospective and current student athletes. Shame

We aren't losing either of our next two games unless Dan decides to throw every running play out of the playbook. We may have 700 yards rushing between the two games
Going to that game is a great memory. The State section was right in the SW corner on that end of the stadium. Williams ran it in from 25 yards out on the first play of OT! War Memorial in LR is an underrated venue. The game was late in the year so the trees are all in full autumn regalia. You park your vehicles in the huge park around the stadium. I managed to sneak my cowbell in but they were taking them from people in their seats so I didn't break it out until the end. It's funny because there were about a hundred that all came out at the end for celebration!
My memory of that venue is less pleasant. 2007 when McFadden and company beat us. We had a 300+ pound, red head female razorback sitting behind us and barked at us the entire game. She was straight out of the Deliverance. When we walked out of the stadium there was a huge brawl between Arkansas fans. Cops everywhere, pepper spray, people breaking beer bottles over others heads. Me, my buddy that weighed 130 soaking wet and the 4 girls that were with us grouped up with a dozen other state fans and made our way through the chaos. Watched a 70 year old state couple get knocked on the ground. We scooped them up with us and helped them out of the war zone. Arkansas fans were throwing food at us the whole way out. Nothing but trash and I'll never spend another dime attending a game there.
This game scares me. We *should* win, but we're going to be flat as hell after this past Saturday night. We poured every ounce of emotion into that game. The only thing in our favor is the game is at 11. The players don't have to sit around all day waiting for the game to start and the crowd shouldn't be as big. Hopefully once the hitting starts, we'll get a little amped up. But make no mistake, it's going to be ugly. I HATE having to play Arkansas between Bama & Northern Miss. It's the ultimate trap game for us.
We keep thinking the team is going to be flat and that might happen, but based on my twitter feed I get the impression that our guys are pissed and/or frustrated from last week?s loss. If we are looking to take out some agression and frustration this might actually turn out to be an epic beat down.
Mine is even less pleasant. It was the 11-11 game back in the 90s. That might be THE worst football game I have ever been at on any level....and that?s saying a LOT. Both teams tried to out sorry each other and neither could do it. To top it off a MSU fan sitting behind us had a serious stroke in the stands.
Remember the talk around here a month ago that Key Thompson was lining up as a WR on some plays in practice? (Gray being hurt may have put this play on the back burner.)
And I'd love to see another Jamal Peters sweep.
And I'd really love to see Leo lined up as a RB for a td on a goal line play.
have we only beat them once at Fayetteville? I think Leo and Simmons will not let the defense sink into a funk. They are still mad about Bama. Hope our OL comes out pumped up about all the good press they have been getting.This is a true trap game.
Just depends on the mindset of 18-22 year olds haha. I think we win but it will be a close game in the 1st half, think we pull away late.
I was at that game. 1993. 13-13 tie. Jordan was the QB and got hurt. Taite, freshman, came in and we couldn't do anything on offense. That's about I remember of the game.
I've been to war memorial for lots of our games. The LR crowd is mostly sidewalk alums. War memorial is an out dated venue but you are right on top of the field. Not a bad seat in there.
