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.

by Horncasting on Sep 25, 2008 10:50 AM CDT up reply actions  

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.
