WE TOLD YOU ARKANSASANANS WERE INSANE

PrintIn the hierarchy of SEC fan insanity, you'd probably put Alabama first since they do have this vaunted cult of cultishness surrounding Crimson Tide football. (I.e, Alabama fans no longer just worship the god they go to church to worship, but also worship the church and the trappings of the church itself.)You would be close, but the connoisseur recognizes the most actively and disproportionately insane fanbase of all is Arkansas.
Don't test the evidence, reader. They may be a small fanbase, they were the first fanbase to use the Freedom of Information Act to request the cell phone records of their coach, and like a team of Navy Seals will through sheer noise and disorientation convince you a thousand of them are angry at you when there are only 25 of them are actively outraged. Force multiplication is the word we're looking for, and the Razorbacks as a fanbase have it by the Sam's Club forkliftful.
The Razorbacks' punching above their crazy weight continues, as Hog Sports Radio reporter Renee Gork has been fired after she wore a Florida Gators cap to an Arkansas press conference.
AHAHAHAHA YOU WORE A HAT OF ANOTHER TEAM AND NEXT QUESTION--or, um, not exactly, since Arkansas fans went Ozark Prion Disease Insane over the relatively minor gaffe, posting Facebook info about Gork on the forums, jamming her inbox with furious emails, sending her the requisite death threats, and ultimately raising enough hell to get Gork fired from her job. Her Twitter is here, and it sounds like she had a lovely weekend.
This is your Public Service Announcement for 2010: Remember, No One's Buckass Snitshit Crazier Than Arkansas Fans. For your safety, please review the varieties of crazy in the SEC as arranged by car bombing preferences.
1. Arkansas: Would blow up your car with you in it. Then ashes would be placed in a separate car, and re-exploded.
2. Alabama: Would blow up your car, and then be placed on NCAA probation for it while claiming it was the best car bombing ever in the history of car bombs, and then would erect statue commemorating the occasion.
3. Ole Miss: Would want to blow up your car, but merely set it on fire with some lighter fluid due to athletic department spending cuts.
4. South Carolina: Would anticipate blowing up other team's cars every weekend, sell out stadium, and then shriek in horror as their cars were blown to smithereens. Repeat on a weekly basis forever.
5. Tennessee: Would attempt car bombing via contract hit man, but would have hit man hired away mid-job by West Coast operatives.
6. Florida: Blows up car but dies in blast when leg is caught in bear trap left by Auburn in immediate vicinity.
7. Mississippi State: Plot foiled by pants loaded with clanging, guard-dog-alerting cowbells.
8. LSU: Blown up in attempt due to timer error. *
9. Vanderbilt: Suspects filthy anarchists and labor unions of starting this "bombing" craze, and will stick to the gentleman's method of trouble disposal, arsenic.
10. Auburn: Successfully blows up car, but bursts into flames and perishes due to flammable, booze-scented Pat Dye fumes in clothing.
11. Georgia: Blows up car successfully. [OFFER NOT GOOD IN JACKSONVILLE.]
12. Kentucky: Kentucky does not blow things up successfully. Ever.
*Not old yet. Nope.

Monken is bringin back the TO
Conference homers are the lowest form of fandom. That is why the SEC has so many of them.
Believe me, I’m quite aware of that. I follow GSU football about as closely as I follow Auburn football. I was at 4 of GSU’s 6 (actual, won on the field) national championships. Baker hired Monken because his previous two failed experiments had increased his seat from hot to thermite level on fire.
At least with the fans. The administration seems content to let him stay and ensure that GSU continues to “scale back their dreams” (no shit, that’s a serious quote by our athletic director) and live with the smallest athletic budget in the Southern Conference while being the largest school in the conference and just slug through mediocrity where GSU used to be the dominant force. Fuck Sam Baker. I’d take a drunk Damon Evans over a sober Sam Baker any day.

We’ve had the logo for 46 years now. I think we can go ahead and call it our’s. There used to be a story up on UGA’s site saying that Dooley wanted something like Green Bay’s, but it came out differently. Green Bay liked UGA’s, and modified their’s slightly to look more like our’s.

Does this building look vaguely familiar?
Because it was the inspiration for the the folks in Athens when they built this:
Young Abraham Baldwin, a son of Old Yale,
Came down to the Southland all hearty and hale.
He built him a college, the first in the state,
Called Franklin of Penn, now Georgia the Great.
I shan’t go further, because it gets awfully offensive.
Handsome Dan would like a word
Yale’s had a bulldog mascot since 1889, and a MUCH bigger/better football tradition than UGA’s. Don’t believe it? Try 19 national championships to 1.
EVERYTHING UGA has is copied/borrowed, from their logo to their mascot to their fight song. They do have some claim to originality by using noxious-weed bushes around the field, but they were TRYING to copy the Rose Bowl. Turns out roses won’t thrive in Athens.
And who’s tradition of knocking the shit out of Georgia Tech did we copy?

One? Don't know if that's your binary code leaking over but that's not quite correct
And I enjoy claiming Penn’s numerous national championships myself (more than Tech’s 1.5 by the way) but in any case those “19 national championships” (sounds like Alabama fans) were back when Harvard, Yale, and Princeton all played each other for a “national championship.”
Okay, the logo and the mascot was copied, but then again a lot of stuff has been copied in college football. The tune to “Glory, Glory” isn’t unique, but then again I’m pretty sure that Tech students didn’t arrange the tune of “Ramblin’ Wreck.”

Well considering GT fielded a team in 1918 while UGA boys were at the Marne, I think it’s only fair we count 1942.
Of course we should also count 1927 and 1946, but I digress.

And then starts to wonder “Is the fuse lit? Is this how Bo would do it? Is the fuse just going to go out before it ignites the powder, because seriously, isn’t that how life always goes, just a thousand fuses you’re supposed to light with just a simple matchbook you got at a restaurant?

Forces the rest of the Big 12 to purchase bombs, which are then used to blow up their own cars… after which the rest of the Big 12 pays them $1,000,000 a piece for the right to have their cars destroyed again next year.
And
when everyone threatens to move their cars to other nicer parking lots, we force them to stay in the run down gravel one while we purchase and park in a state of the art parking garage. Why? Because that’s how Texas works.

I shudder to think what Urban would have said...
I’m not sure what her boss told her was the cause for termination, and the hat did start this all of, however…
1. The hat itself was a really dumb move (not unforgivable, just dumb).
2. She presumably wore said hat to the entire practice as well as the media session (you know since it was raining).
3. She posted on a (previously) public facebook wall that she’d rather be writing/researching Florida.
4. As of Saturday afternoon, her twitter page (where she’d encouraged Arkansas fans to follow her in her capacity as host of an Arkansas sports radio show) had a background wallpaper of ALL Florida logos.
5. On the same twitter page she had been tweeting live updates FROM Arkansas practice, where cellphones are prohibited, while her twitter followers included an Auburn coach.
6. Although I don’t follow the site and it may be purely speculation, it was rumored that her husband (and possibly the woman herself) were posting multiple comments about the incident on a specific Arkansas sports message board.
I’d really only consider 5 worthy of a serious reprimand (since it’s a good way to get her banned from practice or her credentials revoked), but the whole series of events/actions is pretty boneheaded. God knows how Urban would have reacted to a reporter asking questions at his media session while wearing an Arkansas (or god forbid, a Georgia or Tennessee) hat.

Well, since everyone else is in on the party...
Maryland students pick the perfect car on Route 1, carefully making sure the explosives face curbside so the liquor store windows get shattered. Sadly, they fail to notice that the windows are barred too.
Florida State students imported a huge batch of explosives from up North years ago and made quite a name for themselves for some time. Unfortunately, nobody noted the expiration date, and the dregs of that batch have disappointed for years.
Georgia Tech: “Gentlemen, ’tis better to have died as a small boy than to miswire this detonator” only began their student body’s storied history of inventive, if not always 100% functional, armaments. The current head man is known for siting explosives for maximum damage, though with enough advance warning of his arrival, quality targets have been able to armor up successfully.
Duke students, being from New Jersey, find the handicap of being unable to locate the gas tank difficult to overcome. They’ve adapted by developing superior skills at backpack-bombing trains, but it’s just not the same.
Virginia Tech students insist on using TNT only — none of this fancy C4 crap for us, despite the spectacular explosions we see on TV and occasionally get a few steps too close to. TNT’s hard to work with, limits the damage we can do, and that’s just fine.
UNC students first found Duke’s train-bombing fetish intriguing, then hated themselves for it, then finally convinced themselves it was their own idea in the first place. Every few years they blow up a track-maintenance truck just to prove they could switch over to car-bombing if they had to.
UVa students would have you know that Mr. Jefferson himself was quite the wagon-saboteur in his day.
Wake Forest students do as much damage as they can with minimal actual explosive resources.
N.C. State students are so excited about the latest shipment from the Acme Corporation that they just can’t contain themselves. This time they’re really going to blow that car up!
Clemson students are very, very tired of getting stuck with at least two bad fuses a year.
Miami students are still a bit peeved over having to move from a neighborhood with plenty of safe houses to one with nowhere to hide.
And Boston College students don’t understand why their little brother won’t trust them to set off any important bombs anymore.

Petrino Needs a Pamprin
Outside of the lack of respect, I see no issue with what she chose to wear. If it not spelled out in her contract, I smell a lawsuit. Honestly, I think Florida should hire her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If Petrino feels so threatened, maybe he should do something about it on the field, then he could just laugh at anyone wearing a UF hat. This is not important enough to warrant death threats…… Of course, I guess there’s not much else going on in Arkansas….
Or, you know...
she could stop live tweeting updates from practice (where cell phones are prohibited), stop badmouthing her employer and the university she covers on her public facebook wall, and stop replying/commenting on a random fan message board about the incident when her employer had (apparently) asked her to be quiet about it, but that would just be unrealistic for a professional journalist I suppose.

Be mildly disappointed when promised “blow out party” yields 2 Asian differential calculus majors, 3 Arabic chemical engineering students, and one broad weighing as much as the car with a mustache. Light fuse anyway. Killed whilst sitting down plotting potential debris trajectory.
3. Duke fans. Show up. See that this takes work. Call home to mommy in NJ to complain. Wave down Mexicans. Pay them. Then leave for polo match at 4 before explosion even happens. (Might also rape car first).
4. NCState fans. Get drunk. Pass out. Brag about how much better their explosion would have been than UNC’s. Decide to drink more. Light farts on fire. Burn down couch through flatulence.
5. UVA fans. Would blow up car. But its summer and its hot outside. Also can’t find the right croakies to go with sunglasses. Turn up air conditioning, mope that they can’t afford horses to play polo. Decide to go to Abercrombie and Fitch, buy new sweater vests and scarves for fall.
6. Maryland fans. Just get lost. Blow up couch by mistake.
7. Clemson Fans. Light fuse. Fuse burns nicely. Then sputters out half way.
8. UNC fans. Recruit inner city youth to blow up couch. Youth gets arrested for parole violation. Reschedule for March. Brag incessantly about how big the explosion will be then.
9. Wake Forest fans. Protest explosions on grounds of greenhouse gas admissions.
10. FSU fans. Travels to Gainesville. Selects car. Attempts to lite fuse. However, AK-47 fire in parking lot scares them *&%$less, proceed make to Tallahassee telling stories how their fathers terrorized Gainesville back in the day.
11. VT. Fails to light fuse. Then contents themselves with traveling to other ACC cities and blocking any attempts by others. Strangely enough, largely succeeds.
12. Boston College. No one shows up. Drunken Sox fan stumbles by. Tahks wikked pisser on car. Misses, wets himself. Attempts to smash Evan Williams bottle on hood. Misses. Curses Derek Jeter

renee gore
it wasn’t just the hat, she posted stuff on her facebook about the hogs and how she didn’t want to be there and should be covering the fla. gators, well now she can
Believe me, I'm no hog enthusiast...
but I wouldn’t call this “insane.” Instead, it is a perfectly reasonable and logical response to a dumbass, ingrate reporter who apparently didn’t care who was paying her. She doesn’t have to wear an Arkansas hat or cheer for Arkansas, she just can’t go around openly displaying her preference for another school. Simple.
I’ll even go one step further. It pisses me off when our dumbass marketing staff and in-stadium cameramen put someone on our jumbotron during an insipid in-game promotion who just happens to be wearing gear from a different school in our conference or our state (and not in an ironic or mocking fashion). Not giving another fanbase the opportunity to promote its team should be rule #1, and I personally would love to have our idiot marketing people fired for this.
I am astonished
No one has argued for a higher level of crazy for the LSU fan base? I’m sure we’ll reconsider the issue when we hear reports of their actions after The Hat’s first clock management incident this year.
Here's the thing about LSU fans:
They’re crazy, but they’re also really, really polite. It just depends on context, and how well you can tolerate their wackiness, I guess. For example, a good buddy of mine was in Baton Rouge two years ago to watch the Rebels take on the Tigers. After the game (a Rebel victory, mind you) he was walking by sombody’s tailgate when a burly Tiger Fan emerged from under a tent, approached him, and started wildly screaming at him for wearing an Ole Miss cap.
The man then said, “Ha! Naw, I’m just fuckin’ with ya, here, have one” and literally thrust a plate with a steak on it into his hands. “We bought too many and I figure that, after a game like that, you deserve something nice.”
“This man is insane,” he thought, “but I like him anyway.”
Oh, and they’re not the types to file FOIA requests for cell phone information and such.
