Football fans are crazy
OK, I live in Arkansas. We don't have a pro football team so everyone gravitates towards cheering for the Razorbacks. This would not bother me if we only had one team in the state….but that’s not the case. So here is my list of complaints, in no certain order:
#1. “We” haven’t done a damn thing. How many quarters have YOU played?
#2. The Razorbacks are NOT a professional team and their coach should not be paid as such. I don’t give a sh!t who he coached before he was hired by a STATE school. He makes over $3 MILLION every year, which makes him the highest paid government employee in the entire state.
#3. Having your car painted like a razorback (or some other ridiculousness) is NOT cool. If you must support them, a simple bumper sticker will do.
#4. “Oh, well the Hogs bring in more revenue than the other teams.” Well, if the other teams got the same level of support…. Guess what: They would bring in the same level of revenue.

Every University has to operate as a business to be successful. This is why they have commercials to recruit students to the school which makes money. The football teams make tons of money. The university of Arkansas being the main institution in the state garners the most attention. It is THE U of A not the UofA @. Arkansas is in the biggest conference in collegiate sports, gets the most tv time and for the most part are the most competitive ergo more fans.
ReplyDeleteCoach Patrino led the razorbacks to a BCS bowl last year. That one game brought in 18 million. Now I am not sure what they made for the other 12 games of the season but 18 for one game is pretty stout. With that being said 3 mil a year isn't too bad.
The other schools are starting to pick up their game such as Astate with the hiring of Gus Malzon. Conway has really been out there more than in the past. I enjoy following all of the Arkansas schools.
My gripe for the day is people I know to be very intelligent don't seem to think they can get their point across without the use of profanity. Using it in everyday speech is one thing but in written word seems to be overkill.
