I'll be sitting on the first row directly behind the Sooner bench. Hope they can beat Arkansas.

If anyone has any questions about the area let em rip and I'll do my best.

Here (http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/OU/article.aspx?subjectid=92&articleid=20101201_92_B2_NRAeoe307622) is a preview article of the game. Yay, more TV time :)

Ok, Springdale, here's a few questions since you offered:

1- Much was said about the so-called "Springdale Mafia" around the time the Nutter, Mitchie and Malzain left Arkansas. Do they still exist? Any fun mafia stories?

2- What does Arkansas REALLY think of Mitch Mustain and his mother. Any response to him finally getting to start for USC?

3- Does anyone in Springdale still remember Krista Sanchez?

4- NP tells me that Arkansas fans are batsh!t crazy. Fact or fiction? Please give example of batsh!t crazy if fact.

5- Why do Tulsa-area talents choose to go to Arkansas? Rotnei Clarke and some football prospects this past recruiting season all went Razorback on some local schools trying to recruit them.

6- Will Arkansas ever leave the SEC for the Big 12? If there's a Dumb and Dumber "chance," what would it take to get them in our conference... do we even want them.

thanks in advance! :)

1- Much was said about the so-called "Springdale Mafia" around the time the Nutter, Mitchie and Malzain left Arkansas. Do they still exist? Any fun mafia stories?


I have only lived here about 5 years...I payed little to no attention to Arkansas program when I got here, but have heard much about these people. (That Springdale team is still talked about with diety like respect in Springdale.)

I wish I had some good stories for you. I was at Damian Williams draft party and Mitch (that whole HS team) was there and Mark Sanchez came. From what I can gather all the Springdale people HATE Nutt and love Gus and the Mafia. The people that live in Fayetteville HATE Nutt and are mixed on Mitch and the Mafia. It was quite a fun couple of weeks on talk radio around here though before he left.



2- What does Arkansas REALLY think of Mitch Mustain and his mother. Any response to him finally getting to start for USC?

See above and on him starting there wasn't a ton of talk that I heard.


3- Does anyone in Springdale still remember Krista Sanchez?

I don't, but again...I'm not a townie.


4- NP tells me that Arkansas fans are batsh!t crazy. Fact or fiction? Please give example of batsh!t crazy if fact.

This is fact. I have lived a lot of places and came across many fan bases. This is without a doubt the craziest and delusional fan base that I have ever been exposed to. They have zero to little perspective/knowledge of sports outside of Arkansas. They have unrealistic goals. They don't live in reality.

It's so hard to give one example...It is a weekly thing if you just listen to any of their fans. When they were searching for a basketball coach many said they could take Bill Self away from KU (I went to school in Lawrence for a bit). I laughed at everyone that said this, but many still think all they have to do is ask him. There is a myth in the fanbase that says Self's contract has out clause in it if Arkansas offers him.

The SEC pride is overboard because they have been trash for so long (finally have a football year to be somewhat proud of) so all they do is talk up the SEC when their seasons are in ruins. I posted on the football board about the things I hear around town from random fans. They have no clue.


5- Why do Tulsa-area talents choose to go to Arkansas? Rotnei Clarke and some football prospects this past recruiting season all went Razorback on some local schools trying to recruit them.

Pretty sure Rotnei said God told him to go here.


6- Will Arkansas ever leave the SEC for the Big 12? If there's a Dumb and Dumber "chance," what would it take to get them in our conference... do we even want them.

I don't think they would ever leave the SEC. They have too much a mancrush on Alabama and Florida. They love them some SEC no matter how many times they are screwed in big games. I think something serious would have to happen like an obvious screw job in an SEC title game where they have national title implications if they won.

I wouldn't mind them in the Big 12 for selfish reasons because I live here. I was spoiled in Big 12 country and I rarely get to see any of the games I'm used to watching in person. Would love getting see Big 12 teams come here for football and BBall.

Personally I'd just love a home and home with them every year in football in the out of conference schedule. I'm sure Bob would be up for it, but Arkansas wouldn't want any of this every year (even though all there fans say we aren't even a top 25 team and would crush us)

we are going to get KILLED in the Big 12....man we look awful...

Soonerjeepman
12/1/2010, 08:40 PM
I'm sorry but we are running NO offense...it's just run around and shoot it...that's good if ya have shooters...

and our defense...ugh~

before ya blast me...I've followed OU bball a ton...coached HS ball...love the game but man we look lost...

I think Tubbs is a horrible announcer.

I agree. We're getting killed inside. I can't believe we don't have any big men.

Soonerjeepman
12/1/2010, 08:47 PM
LOL...didn't say Billy is good....just brings back good memories...

yeah we have about 9 6'4 to 6'7 guys....

Soonerjeepman
12/1/2010, 08:48 PM
maybe we should have recruited Clarke....a little more...(or chosen him)...

our 2 guards can't guard a paper bag...

43-37 Arkie Halftime.

We could win this one if we'd play some D.

Boomer.....
12/1/2010, 08:50 PM
Better than I hoped at this point considering the way we started. We need to play some defense, especially around the basket.

Soonerjeepman

I will say the guys work hard and seem to have good attitudes...but how long will that last...especially if we go on a losing streak...

we set NO SCREENS....it's amazing how these guys go and set by a guy but don't even touch the defender...it takes both...no one rubs a guy either....

Yeah it's frustrating. I love OU Bball, but these guys are just outmatched. And Arkie isn't that good!

We just gave up a 7 point run after a timeout in like 30 seconds. Geeesh!

No stars on this Sooner squad. I feel bad for them.

--no way im giving up on them either. without 22 TO's i think we win. but they are sloppy when it comes to the first like 5 min in each half. thats where they always get killed. they have to play EVERY minute hard.
