UALR football?

UTA ran the wishbone in the 70s. We played a conference game against them in the Cotton Bowl in either 73 or 74. We won big, but boy, was that big ole place empty. Our Tech band seemed to make up about a quarter of the crowd.

We also played a conference game at a high school field. I believe it was Craven Field, a stadium for Arlington high schools.

Hell, we played a "bowl game" on a high school field in BR in 1969. Lost, too.

Is a "bowl" a "Bowl Game" if the stadium is not Bowled in?

UALR was not a consideration for me. I do know a couple people who went there. One seems to have some school pride. I didn't really hear or care much about them. Outside of their flash of success in basketball last year, i dont think people care much. In my class, I personally heard more of people going to SAU and UCA than UALR.

Louisiana has only about 700 thousand more population than Arkansas yet it has five FBS division schools while Arkansas has only two. Adding another would hurt Arkansas State's (and Central's) recruiting and would also hurt ours in southern Arkansas (a la Dixon, Dancy, and Lovett). We also get a lot of students from the El Dorado area who might find UALR more attractive with a football program.

You need to add another million to that difference.

Sorry. You're right. My arithmetic was off by a measly 1 million.

I really hope this UALR football thing doesn't happen. We just don't need another football program recruiting in our back yard. And frankly, with UA-F deciding to pull out of Little Rock, I'm very surprised that Arkansas St hasn't scheduled a few games in Little Rock to try to pick up some of that audience.

Why should they when they have invested the money they have invested in their facilities in Jonesboro?

[sportdawg]

We should play in Shreveport

Hmm......methinks you may have missed the point about "picking up that audience" from Little Rock? New fans? New customers? New supporters? Hello!!!.........anybody home???

[PawDawg]

Hello!!!.........anybody home???

You aren't if you think Arkie St might pick up new fans in LR.

ULM gave it the old college try with home games against UA there.
