Arkansas Razorbacks will need surprise year to overcome biggest obstacle
Sam Pittman has tried to do all he can as a head coach to avoid it, but fan apathy is high. It doesn't require a deep dive into media numbers to figure this out.
The good news for Pittman is if things head south on his team come October, Hog fans are going to be so wrapped up in basketball, very few will notice. They'll just check back a day or two after that Thanksgiving Day showdown against Illinois to see if Pittman still has a job before returning back to full basketball mode.
Arkansas only has one game in Razorback Stadium between now and October. That's pretty much the Hogs' own fault though by giving up premium fan buy-in to play games in Little Rock and Arlington. Arkansas needs four wins by the time the Hogs finally return to Fayetteville to face Tennessee and possibly seven when Texas comes to town to avoid getting swept away by the hurricane that is Arkansas basketball. That's a tall order, but so is overcoming this much apathy.
