It's difficult to build up a fan base when our only statewide paper relentlessly ignores the program's achievements. Meanwhile, you'd have thought the hogs won the Super Bowl yesterday.

I agree the coverage is not the best for the other schools, it’s pure numbers, but when you open up your iPad (if you have one) to read the paper on September 7, 2025, there will be front page sports coverage of a-state.

Trey, I feel like you're missing the point. I'm not calling for front page coverage. I never have. I'm calling for the statewide paper to recognize more than one quarter of the state. I invite you, with your large podium, to be an advocate for this kind of integrity.
The University of Arkansas’ Rocket — running back Raheim “Rocket” Sanders — finally got lift-off this season on Saturday, recovering from a knee injury to help carry the Razorbacks to a 39-36 overtime victory over the Florida Gators.

A State is the little brother and been bad for a loooong time. I live in Jonesboro, there are more Hog fans here than Red Wolves fans and that right there tells the story. A State would be 0-9 if they had Arkansas schedule. 2025 will likely be a 3 score win by UA.

They allowed 17 points to an opponent with the same record while playing at home. Also, no matter much state fans want it to be so, the program and fanbase will never be on the same level as the main school. The stadium was barely half capacity.

This is like complaining that the Dallas morning news didn’t put SMU on the front page because they blew out some AAC team and instead put the result of the Texas game on the front page. It’s not the papers fault people don’t care.

Put the red wolves on the front page of sports for a month and A-State will gain dozens of fans…nobody cares whats in the newspaper.

When your university (or UCA’s) and their athletic teams are responsible for over several billion dollars of revenue generation, tourism, and economic impact in the state of Arkansas (and abroad), then y’all might make the front page. Not even in the same universe.
