Don't forget this number
ZERO – The number of Arkansas fans remaining in the stadium at the beginning of the 4th quarter, because only a glutton for punishment would remain.
Horizontalism is its own reward.
Glutton for punishment
well, they do live in Arkansas.
Plus you are assuming they can count to 4.

Maybe +1 to the last 0.
I’m not obsessed just really, really anticipating the slaughter that will happen on Saturday in Austin. As a native Texan and huge Longhorn fan living in AR, that’s had to put up with all of the hatred these people have for Texas, I’m shaking with excitement for a dominating performance by Texas. I can’t wait to rub it in their faces! God I hate razorback fans.
