I'd love to play an SEC team. Count me out on that road trip, though. The SEC road trips range from "YES! I do want to spend time in Athens/Oxford/Nashville" to "Sure, I can buy a pair of jorts and sweat through them for a weekend in Gainesville" to "Why in the world would I want to go to Starkville/Fayetteville?"

Arkansas - Pine Bluff - also gave me my wife. Yep, Lynne and I met at OU but she was southern born. By the time she and I met, her family had settled in Marietta, GA where her dad was a design engineer at Lockheed. BTW, plenty of Arkansas folks held the Clintons in disdain. As you likely know, Slick Willy - a derisive moniker used by many Arkansans - lost a bid for re-election as governor.

Having visited her family in Arkansas several times, I can speak with authority about August/September weather there. Whereas we in the north speak of the wind chill factor, Arkansans speak of the humidex.

I've been to Arkansas for a game and it was a great time and atmosphere. I also enjoyed Fayetteville a lot. I'd love to see Ohio play there, but it's very unlikely to happen. Yes I know Ohio plays Tennessee this year, but we've got a much better chance at landing games against the bottom feeders than we do quality teams. Some of Ohio's recent non conference schedules have been, well, I think crappy sums it up pretty well compared to our peers. If this were New Mexico State or Kansas again, I'm sure our AD would be all over it. But Arkansas? Not so much.
