Overheard in Rogers, Arkansas restaurant

[emmitt01]

I am down here for a speaking engagement and wore this polo on the plane.  Stopped in to a restaurant and sat at the bar.

I hear a group of guys talking, and it goes like this:

Man 1: We suck this year.  Our offense and defense are bad, but our special teams is the worst in the country.  That play we gave up two games ago was horrible. 

Man 2: That was cheating. 

(Admittedly, I should have stayed silent)

Me: It was totally legal.  You just didn’t play to the whistle. 

Man 1: If we had hit him, they would have thrown a flag. 

Me: Really?  He didn’t fair catch it.

Man 2: Take away that cheap play and it’s different.

Me: Strange, I don’t remember punt returns being worth 30 points

Last line had to sting a bit. Sore losers. Glad it’s somebody other than us for a change.

that’s SEC algebra for you

They're still butthurt after Auburn took them to the woodshed this past weekend?  Shouldn't they be focused on that in-conference beating and be over lil ole' UNT ruining their afternoon in Fayetteville? 

[Aquila_Viridis]

I was at the Auburn game. The biggest difference was how hard the NT defense worked to get pressure. Auburn got pressure but they more relied just on having a lot of mountainous dudes.  NT defense was super active and confused the hogs bad from the start. The more we see of that, the better!

Let me be the first to say...

I'm sorry you had to go interact with people in Arkansas

😎 I hope you’re allowed to carry your firearm in the state of Arkansas

I am gonna add that another big difference is we have a QB who can throw downfield accurately and I love it. Hogs were able to bring their defense up a lot on AU and that kept the AU offense off the field. I thought this was an issue Auburn had finally addressed but they have got very one-dimensional. We have seen so much of the same over the years but not now.

Had the same thought.

I completely disagree.  That was greatness.

[Jason Howeth]

Well done, sir. Glad somebody who actually knew what they were talking about chimed in, too. 

[wardly]

A friend of mine told me that they are easy to fool in Arkansas. Claims he has been selling their farmers cheerios as donut seeds for years.

[MeanGreenTexan]

I bet the random Arkansas fans were floored to actually meet a North Texas fan in person.

This kind of happenstance encounter will grow & grow over the next decade as NT's position in the NCAA landscape continues to grow... and our fanbase follows suit.
