Sitting in our inbox this morning was a scan of an ad that ran in today's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. The advertisement urges Hog hoop fans to write U of A officials to voice whatever concerns they have about the state of the basketball program.

The ad was paid for by a "G. Cluck" of Niceville, Fla., and strikes a remarkably civil tone, saying, "This voicing of concerns is not intended to become a name calling contest or an attack upon anyone personally." At another point, the ad urges letter writers to "make this effort one of respect for all parties concerned!" Given the famously level-headed nature of the Razorback fanbase, we have no idea why Mr. Cluck felt it necessary to include such a request.

The entire ad is posted after the jump.
