ASU or ARKANSAS football

My previous comments are entirely based on information about the Razorback baseball team.
I have not mentioned any other Arkansas team,..... frankly because there is no other Arkansas team in the CWS, I reckon. I can assure you that if ASU or UCA were playing in the CWS, I'd be supporting them to win.
I am on record many times as acknowledging my upmost respect for ASU Basketball Coach John Brady.
There is no questioning my admiration for Gus Malzahn.
ASU fans just haven't learned how to talk sports without letting it making them mad. ASU is undoubtably rising in the ranks, but they are of course still in the lower ranks of overall D-1 sports nationally speaking.
Simply said, They are "n00bs" to big time college sports. Even their name is still new as proven by many people in this state still inquire about the Indians, ocassionally.
ASU fans need to first and foremost accept the FACT that the Razorbacks will never, ever give them a game then they will be more pleasant to talk to. Why doesn't matter, it just ain't going to happen.
A fluke meeting could be a possibility, especially in basketball, but it will never be a scheduled game by UA.
Then, ASU fans need to pony up for their team. It's easy to come to Topix and say "I was there" ... but you should've taken 3 more with you because you gotta lot of empty seats.
The upcoming season (football) is in my opinion one of the most anticipated seasons for ASU in history of ASU football. There is national interest in Gus's first season with a hot-handed quarterback. ASU will undoubtably be a focus point for ESPN,(as long as the Wolffies are winning), due mostly to the Gus Malzahn factor. Gus is famous for winning everywhere he goes. ASU is no different.
BUT!!!
Will ASU fans be there?
Or will they be here on Topix bashing the HOGS for not putting ASU on the schedule?
As long as ASU fans feel they "need" a game with Arkansas,..... ASU remains 2nd tier to the Razorbacks in this state.

And i will never understand why Hog fans can't realize that most ASU fans could care less about playing the HOgs...the Hogs are, well, just the Hogs...that team across the state that "obviously" think they're better than everyone else...that's what rankles us the most...the air of superiority you cast on ASU. People just like you! I can talk sports with the best of them, usually with fans of another team that respects ASU for what it is, was, and will be. But you'll never hear that from most Hog fans. And as long as there are fans in this state like you who look down on ASU with derision, you can rest assured thare are a few more who are paying attention, and you can be sure i'll be there to defend ASU! A little good natured ribbing is one thing, but you and others like you TRY to make people mad, otherwise you wouldn't be here. It's like it's your one purpose in life, other than your political agenda, to bash ASU, well Mr. i'm gonna be there to speak up for the little guy. ASU may be second tier in this state forever for all i care, but i can certainly respect a school that has had to claw and dig for respect in the very state that is it's namesake. Hog fans can easily sit back and pat themselves on the back, and say, look at little ol' ASU, look what they are trying to be, aren't they ridiculous! They think they can play with the big boys! What you don't realize is that sometimes being the big boy isn't the best, most ASU fans know where our school stands, we have no illusions.
It seems every post there are always those ASU fans that whine about why the Hogs won't play ASU....i'll give those ASU fans some good advice...STFU! Stand behind your school, and get your a** to the games...give a little money if you can, but shut up about the Hogs! You're just giving these Pig morons more fuel to pile on their fire! We can be anything we choose without any help from ANY other school, but it depends on the fans, NOT the Hogs...

Your comment is a fabrication of your own thinking.
As was just described by the previous poster, you ASU fans are just imagining that Arkansas fans "bashes" ASU. I have been to many many Arkansas football games and I've never heard ASU mentioned.
I can safely promise that if a person goes to Reynolds Stadium wearing a ASU T-shirt, Arkansas fans would probably asl about Gus and wish ASU luck.
I can just as easily promise you that if a person goes to an ASU game sporting a HOG shirt, he will be disrespected and harrassed in front of his family.----- I've seen it happen.
This phoney ASU/Arkansas "rivalry" is a figment of a few ASU fan's imagination.
Quite frankly, ASU fans and Arkansas fans can't even discuss sports on this page due to the rudeness and whinning from a few ASU supporters. They love to insult and are easily insulted.

I agree with you Cathouse Mouse! Close only counts in Horseshoes and Hand Gernades! I still don't understand you saying Hog fans are mistreated by ASU fans. You are dead wrong on that. People wearing Hog cloths are everywhere in this state, including Jonesboro. When I see a Hog shirt, I don't think anything about it.

I'm just pointing out the fact that it's useless to put billboards on I-40 promoting the Redwolfs if your fans are going to be counterproductive by insulting new game goers.
I just visited 4 different SEC states while on vacation. I wore a HOG shirt every day for the entire 9 days journey. I saw Ole Miss fans, Miss St fans, Alabama fans, LSU fans, and Tennesse fans ...... not once was I insulted, yet talked SEC sports with them all.
Wear a HOG shirt in Jonesboro, and see what happens.

I don't think about it either..because it's much more rare than it used to be. Although last year i had to hold myself back when i was walking through the tailgating area, and there were some people sitting there under a tent with a big screen TV watching the Pig game....well, that's ok, but you're at an ASU tailgate, how about getting up off your a## and buying a ticket and coming inside and support ASU.....or get the f**k outta here? How about that, a**wipes? To each his own i guess.....but wearing a Hog shirt inside the game, no prob, we'll take your money! The game i saw the most Hog shirts at was the UCA game...and cheering for UCA, the Pig fans' little darlings!

^^^ Razorback fans rests our case.^^^
Until ASU fans learn to tell jerks like this that they are not helpful in your cause to fill stadiums, you'll never get new fan base members.
THAT you can count on.

^^^^^It's unbelieveable how delusional Pig fans can be!^^^^^Pot calling kettle black, don't you think? IF you knew anything about ASU football except what rolls across the ticker screen of your warped little mind, you'd know ASU's fanbase is already growing..by leaps and bounds..believe it or not, i don't care! We had more at our spring game than ever before this year, more than several so-called big time Div.1 programs...And if some Pig game watching morons who wanna sit at our tailgate but not buy a ticket are the type of fans we need to woo over from the Pig camp, well, you can keep 'em! I could care less what you wear as long as we get your money! 98% of the people who show up for the tailgate are there to support ASU, if you're not don't be there at the tailgate with a Pig game on a big screen, get inside and support the school you're at! It's an ASU tailgate, not a Pig watch party!

First of all, I have never spent a red penny on ASU.
Secondly, HOG fans would NEVER tailgate at an ASU game.
Uhhh, mosquitos.
