And the Rutgers fans probably didn't even need to get blind drunk and punch their sisters in order to get that riled up.

Watch Arkansas - Tennessee Saturday. And that's Arkansas's bad home site. Wait two more weeks for Arkansas - LSU in Little Rock when all the wild South Arkansas fans who never can make the trip to Fayetteville show up.

But it's not your fault that's your best crowd. New Jerseyans are too educated for football. I imagine most of them are at home reading Dostoevsky or The New Yorker now.

We have a lot in common, though. Most Arkansas fans who have watched both teams see Rutgers like a younger brother, if football programs could have siblings. And that was a good stadium, I agree, just not the best.

Don't you have a corn field to go tend to?

Btw, lost in the excitement, BYU CRUSHES Wyoming. Their only two losses were early in the season to Arizona and BC, but close margins. They have a share of the Mountain West title now.

BYU is turning into the team I remember from the 80's.

BYU 55, Wyoming 7.

Yes, Rutgers will lose to West Virginia.

ACK!

ACK!

Once again, I am ahead of the curve...

[Tuberski]

Except for where you are right behind me.......

ACK!

One post on Apolyton will turn part of the national focus to Provost, Utah?

We have a lot in common, though.

For anyone who doubts me, one example: Neither team gets any respect. Now, I fully expect the media to start sucking Rutgers's wang now after a ratings-boosting win like this and with good personalities to market like Schiano and Leonard. And talk about backstory.

Arkansas likewise has no respect. As they talked about how the Rutgers win opened up the party for one loss teams, they checked off Auburn, Cal, USC, Florida, and so on, of course. No mention of us at all until they HAD to slip it in as "even Arkansas" during Sportscenter. That is one example out of many of why the signs at Gameday are going to be pretty disapproving of ESPN. Even if we took the national title, I don't think we would get the respect any other top 15 team recieves.

PROVO

No ST, you rube.........



ACK!

[Imran Siddiqui]

But you won't get the national title, because like Rutgers, you are ranked behind a number of 1 loss teams even from your OWN conference (like Auburn ).

I didn't see you giving BYU any love until I made it safe to do so...

I cheer on the inside............

You were the first to voice it however.

ACK!

So Drake allowed you to "come out of the closet" on BYU?

[Drake Tungsten]

I understand his dilemna. Nobody wants to come across like a biased homer, even though we all are deep down. SEC fans are the exception to this rule, of course; they don't seem to mind at all that their blatant homer bull**** doesn't make any logical sense...
