PrintWelcome to the 2010 football season! As a public service to you, the Hog fan, we'll once again be providing a handy pre-game cheat sheet detailing why you should hate each one of the Razorbacks' opponents this fall. Some weeks will be easier than others...
1. The Texas Connection. Tennessee Tech Watson Brown just happens to be the older brother of Texas coach Mack Brown. They look a bit alike (see above), so as the Hogs are pounding the Golden Eagles tomorrow you can squint your eyes a bit and pretend that it's Mack and the Longhorns on the other sideline.
2. There's Almost No Upside. TTU is a Division I-AA team, so beating them doesn't exactly win the Razorbacks a lot of respect from observers or points in the vaunted BCS computers. Best case scenario is that we shake off the offseason rust, roll to an easy win and walk off the field with no injuries. Worst case scenario is, well, this (*shudder*).
3. Their Colors Are Vaguely Reminiscent of LSU's. This one requires some imagination, but perhaps the "squint your eyes and pretend" idea from point #1 applies here as well.
4. Their Facebook Page Has 10 Fans. We realize that's not much of an inspiration for frothing at the mouth hatred...maybe this week's installment should have been called "Reasons to Pity"? (h/t @cbahn)

The Big T
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts concerning rivals, any team with a big “T” in the logo earns my hatred. TTU can now join the ranks of such hated big-Ts as Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and Tennessee. When do we play Tulane?

As to point four, consider this:
There are probably around sixty to seventy families who have sons on the team, so out of that number they should be able to come up with more than ten facebook friends. That is unless the families of Tennessee Tech players are just abou all anti-technology and never venture onto the internet, which would be some story in and of itself, haha. Reasons to pity, I think so!
As to point #2...
I’d say this would be worse:

The F’in CITADEL! At home. One of the darkest days in the history of Razorback football.
Still too soon?

Who needs more reasons ...
Mack Brown’s brother is their coach? I quit reading when I got to that part!
Get it right.
Hi,
I would just like to make a correction. If you would have used your head, you would have typed TTU’s full name: Tennessee Technological University, and you would have found that the Tennessee Tech page you are referring to is not the right page. Here is the page you were looking for:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tennessee-Tech/110435132318334?ref=ts#!/pages/Tennessee-Technological-University/107843942570498?ref=ts
It has 936 fans, but since this is only the community page, it still isn’t the right facebook page: This is…
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tennessee-Tech/110435132318334?ref=ts#!/tennesseetech?ref=ts
It was 12,145 fans. So, yes. There’s more than 10. I think the only one who should be pitied… is you. God bless your soul.
