Tell arkstfan if still wants it he can post so here and i will try and see if i can dig up some of the "whys".

Just don't lick his boots while you are at it. At least not all at once.

You are quite insane. Did your nurse forget to give you your medication this morning?

I am one of the only defenders you have ever had on these message boards.

My calling you out for saying "Poster ask me to explain the latter and I told him why I was going to decline," doesn't mean anything, other than I think you are full of sh#t with that comment. I'm not here to defend Arkstfan, or anything he posts. My issue was with your post, and your post alone.

I don't need a team of data experts to tell me when somebody is full of sh#t, and you sir, are full of sh#t.

And anyone who disagrees with you, or think your debating tactics are disingenuous, must be representing some evil force like Arkstfan or Blake Anderson. Who did you learn from? Goebbels?

No No little puppy i have nothing against your master, or your HC.

I did not mean to offend him, but when his little puppies show up i know i have.

So go fetch him and say i'm sorry and he can put his little puppies back in their pens. I do hope he gives you a bone, because you are well trained little puppies, and keep this message board under control.


You know Seminole. I've done some long hard thinking about your posts recently. You seem to enjoy trolling the Arkansas State fan base...quite a lot in fact. In this thread, you've resorted to calling us puppies, and pretending that we're just going to dance for you at your every whim.

Unfortunately, as a mod staff, we must tell you that none of us give a single crap about any single opinion of yours, and frankly we've tolerated your antics for far too long. Trying to make a useful member out of you for no reason.

Today, I'm done. I am forum banning you for a little while. As far as I'm concerned, you can feel free to go post on the Memphis board and make fun of us. You can go post on the CUSA forum and make fun of us, or better yet you can join your friends on Hogville and make fun of us. But you are not going to do it here anymore. Especially when I don't exactly see anyone lining up to defend you.

Go troll somewhere else.

Interesting twist in Little Rock
People can make a case of why UALR having football will destroy A-State's football program, or why Charlotte having football will destroy App State's football program, etc.

But bring some data or some actual reasons why that may be the case so they can be refuted...or not refuted.

I don't know why you would ban that person. He is mildly entertaining. He hasn't used any vulgar language. Yes he is a troll, but this is a message board. He may have gotten a little out of hand on this thread but I don't think its worth banning.

As for LR football - I believe any downside to stAte of potentially impacting recruits or donors would be heavily outweighed by the upside of having stAte play every other year in LR and having more media attention. I don't think it would ever happen, but I see it being a positive for stAte.

We would get a lot more out of that game then playing a MWC/MAC?CUSA school in a home and home.

RE: Interesting twist in Little Rock
Might be a moot point now. I rarely listen to sports talk radio in Little Rock but did today on the commute due to the firing of the AD up at Fayettnam. There was an outpouring of "play stAte in Little Rock every year" pouring out of my speakers from the pundits. Even call ins were backing it. If that came to fruition would the central Arkansas bandwagon still back a Little Rock team?

What many of those radio folks were missing was that someone still has to come up with the $10 million for improvements to War Memorial. I'd also say that stAte's AD is crazy if they offer and he doesn't insist on a 3 year cycle of home, home, Little Rock. Honestly, what do we have to gain by playing them in Little Rock every year?

If they want to satisfy Little Rock with that game there annually, I'd be fine with it. A 3-year cycle would be fine as well but our home stadium capacity is problematic.

I do think that whatever the case, we have to remain flexible on the details.

The main thing is ending this backwards policy in all sports. However we have to do it, do it.

I do draw the line at a one-off. We would need to make a long-term deal for football and make in-state competition in the other sports a permanent deal...as in forever.

1. Seminole's work on this thread is like a tenth of the reason I made the move to forum ban. Plus, he has officially announced his retirement from posting on message boards, so why not help him into that happy land of retirement?

2. We'd get far more as a program out of a home and home with a MWC than we would out of a Little Rock game. Unless that Little Rock game was a big name school that would never play in Jonesboro or something. It's just not worth sacrificing a home game to play in Little Rock right now.

Its not worth giving up a home game. But a free conference away game every other year that close to our fans and alumni would be better than an away game in South Carolina for instance.

This is the city that not once, not twice, not three times, not four times, BUT FIVE TIMES shot down proposals to host a bowl game because no one gave a crap once they found out it wouldn't be a way for the Hogs to play another game in Little Rock. But then again, the same city that told one of the tenants at the airport that they would not make the infrastructure investments they wanted, so FedEx moved two hours down the road to Memphis.

The voters of Little Rock rejected a sales tax to build a 65,000 seat domed stadium to keep the Hogs. They rejected a five year sales tax to build a new arena. Protested against all city efforts to remodel the minor league baseball stadium. Now there is an arena and a minor league ballpark, both across the river in North Little Rock.

I can't see Little Rock agreeing to spend six figures to buy up tickets like Birmingham has done for many many years with UAB. They aren't going to put city bucks on the line like Mobile does with the bowl game.

UALR has seen enrollment drop the past five years and they are heavily dependent on student activity fees. I think they can find the capital money it's the operating budget they have to deal with because they need about $7 million more a year, every year.

Hurt A-State? Not likely. Not many kids on the A-State roster from Arkansas and not all of them are even on scholarship, only four seeing much action (two of those start).
Has nothing to do with where your athletes come from.

Oh great one please explain.
You think we are going to lose ticket sales and donations when we are almost completely dependent on alumni for those?
It's been over ten years since we all sit down and" brain stormed" on this, and I just gave you the end results.

Did the same thing on the impact of playing other schools in Arkansas.

We just do it for fun, because we do it for a living and enjoyed apply these same tools and techniques to other things we like.

Just happened all be together at a company close to LR--I think Remington, helping them improve their processes and the company contact was a former A-State player. Somehow we ended up crunching the numbers, in the hotel after work, and I cannot even remember why we did it. Nothing else to do I guess.

Have fun and go print some buttons, but I'll bet in 10 years or so if they get their program going you will see we were more right, than wrong.

You can go post on the CUSA forum and make fun of us, or better yet you can join your friends on Hogville and make fun of us. But you are not going to do it here anymore. Especially when I don't exactly see anyone lining up to defend you.

Go troll somewhere else.

I don't know why you would ban that person. He is mildly entertaining. He hasn't used any vulgar language. Yes he is a troll, but this is a message board. He may have gotten a little out of hand on this thread but I don't think its worth banning.

As for LR football - I believe any downside to stAte of potentially impacting recruits or donors would be heavily outweighed by the upside of having stAte play every other year in LR and having more media attention. I don't think it would ever happen, but I see it being a positive for stAte.

We would get a lot more out of that game then playing a MWC/MAC?CUSA school in a home and home.

1. Seminole's work on this thread is like a tenth of the reason I made the move to forum ban. Plus, he has officially announced his retirement from posting on message boards, so why not help him into that happy land of retirement?

2. We'd get far more as a program out of a home and home with a MWC than we would out of a Little Rock game. Unless that Little Rock game was a big name school that would never play in Jonesboro or something. It's just not worth sacrificing a home game to play in Little Rock right now.
Its not worth giving up a home game. But a free conference away game every other year that close to our fans and alumni would be better than an away game in South Carolina for instance.

You guys have had Mizzou and Miami at home, who else do you think would come in and demand it be in LR, except the hogs???

I think He was originally referring to playing us in football in LR.

Pretty sure FedEx was started in Memphis, soooooo, perhaps they thought about moving to Little Rock at one point in time. But, in no way did they EVER "move down the road to Memphis" More like continued to operate its HQ in Memphis. Just Saying

Pretty sure that it was originally in Little Rock and moved to Memphis, sooo...

Federal Express, a Little Rock-based jet air-freight line, is considering putting a branch operation at Memphis International Airport.

Nope. From Wikipedia
Smith founded the Federal Express Corporation in 1971.[13] It was founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1971, as Smith was operating Little Rock Airmotive there. After a lack of support from the Little Rock National Airport, Smith moved the company to Memphis, Tennessee and the Memphis International Airport in 1973.[14]



Little Rock has a list of pretty spectacular failures that are pretty much all its own. Seriously, if you go through the history of that city, you'll find a lot of strange decisions that made no sense whatsoever, but yet happened.

When Fred Smith was first establishing Fed Ex, he asked the Little Rock airport for space and their help is getting him started in business. The LR airport decided this was a world class dumb idea and turned him down cold. He took his idea to Memphis and the rest is history. I had a friend that was offered one of the first five pilot jobs by Fred Smith. He turned it down as he wasn't sure about this new company and he had just retired from the miliary. He went with another air freight company and was a captain for years. He tried to explain to me how rich rich he would have become if he had taken the job with Fred but he couldn't count that high.
