Mean Green Matt

I bet there would be a negligible difference in interest.

Correct. Men's soccer would be cheaper (most notably because the stadium already exists), it is far and away the more exciting sport, incredible hotbed of talent with very few D1 programs in the state. I think it might actually just be SMU.

To be fair we have a division championship in football, regular season championships in volleyball and softball, (I think) a cross country championship, and of course the plethora of hardware procured by the womens soccer program.

Yep. And CUSA is actually a very good men's soccer conference. Kentucky (yes, that Kentucky...the SEC does not sponsor men's soccer) finished ranked #3 nationally. Charlotte finished the year ranked #14, and ODU finished in the receiving votes category.

Driving home the other day, I saw a convertible with its top down. Big Razorbacks logo on the back and a vanity license plate "SOOIE". I was going to give them a "Go Mean Green" at the red light, but when the cars stacked up was not close enough.

I don't recall if this was posted on here last year, but on a bit of a random whim I decided to go back and try and find an archive of the Arkansas Radio Network broadcast of the game against North Texas. The best I could find was the episode of On Air with Chad Morris the following week. I decided to listen to it. The game against North Texas was discussed VERY generically. Amazingly, unless I missed it, not only did they only vaguely discuss the game, North Texas (nor any of our players) were even mentioned by name. I quit listening when they started previewing the Auburn game the following week (which was about 40 minutes in...they spent a lot of time talking about ANYTHING but getting blown out by North Texas).

Carlos missed the cut this week, but out other PGA golfer Sebastian Munoz had a decent showing. Tied for 37th. $24,000 pay day.

If we are going to add a sport it should be men’s soccer. I’ve expressed this opinion a few times, always to a collective eye roll, but the program would be nationally relevant almost immediately.

What a relief! I was worried for a minute there. These 100% truthful and not at all carefully crafted statements sure are comforting.

Absolutely shocking. Never could have seen this coming.

Yes, but they are the commuter school we used to be.

SMU, UTSA, La Tech.

Not going to happen since SMU won’t be hosting a college football playoff game.

This is the first one anywhere near Texas. However, promoted correctly it will sell out.

Would rather have 30k in a 30k seat stadium than 45k in a 93k seat stadium.

Probably the better venue for the game anyway.

We beat SHSU in Huntsville.

Good for @KRAM1

Sounds like he is a transferer.

If it were my decision I absolutely would have played in the NIT, but the NCAA didn’t make a mistake leaving us out. We didn’t have the resume for an at large. Period.

This is a little different than even the CIT or CBI. The spot is earned automatically the same way the basketball NIT is. I guess at the end of the day we must have had concerns about how worthwhile it was going to be.

Looks like we did decline the softball NIT spot.

This makes our 2 for 0 series with Iowa look like a home run.

National Invitational Softball Championship.

The season is not over unless we choose not to participate in the Softball NIT. We may decline, but we have automatic bid because of winning the conference.
