To say that ASU might beat UAF once in Fifty games is absurd. This year ASU has a better QB, a better secondary and a defense that held #4 Texas 4 downs from first and goal at the 3 yard line. UAF is coming off a good year, but before last year they have had losing record against the SEC teams since joining the conference!

Drawing down Razorback fans while simultaneously growing opposing fan bases. I agree this is silly. In fact you tend to polarize and strengthen the opposing fan base by doing this. I believe that ASU and UALR have grown their fan bases recently for 2 reasons. One, recent fan unrest/disillusionment over the poor performance of the basketball team, and more importantly, the Springdale Five/Gus Situation. This leads to my second reason, the UA has and will continue to try to control all messaging regarding UA athletics. The three examples that spring to mind are the Nolan Firing, the ARSN play by play negotiations, and the recent <a href="http://arkbear.wordpress.com/2007/09/05/sports-week-no-more/" rel="nofollow">canceling of the highly rated "Sports Week" on KATV</a>. I tend to think this is peeling off more fans than playing ASU/UALR would. But what do I know. I'm just a lowly fan.
