Arkansas

The emotional rollercoaster

Arkansas fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.

What happened

Arkansas went to Nashville and left with a 31-21 win over Vanderbilt, which ended a drought a fan measured to the day: "Nobody and I mean nobody makes Arkansas go 722 days without an SEC win." The turning point was simply the final whistle arriving with the Hogs ahead, something that had stopped feeling inevitable. Misery dropped from 97 to 32. At 3-4, the bar sits on the floor, but somebody finally cleared it, and one fan still had energy to argue about the hot hand.
