Yeah, this is only going to last one game . . .

 

Texting ServiceThe University of Arkansas' Athletics Department will provide a fan text messaging service inside War Memorial Stadium. The service allows fans to communicate directly with event management personnel in important security and guest issue situations. Fans needing assistance should text HOGS your issue and location to 69050. Standard text message rates and other charges may apply. Razorback fans are reminded that they also can contact the nearest usher or security personnel, or stop by the nearest guest services location to report an issue.

Don't forget to send in your photos!

Weatherman: layers, with a chance of jeans

What if meteorologists told you what you really wanted to know, like whether the temperature will drop so much by the end of the game tomorrow night that you should forgo the sandals in favor of  flats, or whether you need to pack your rain jacket? 

Well, the website Daily Dress Me does just that.  This great website, shows you the high and low temp for the day, the chance of rain, and a sample outfit idea perfect for those condition.  Not crazy about the outfits they are showing? Hit refresh on your browser and the page will reload with all new outfits.  (All outfits are from Forever 21).  Tip: If your page somehow gets reset to the Los Angeles location, go up to your address bar, delete "Lost+Angeles, CA" and replace it with "Little+Rock, AR" - easy as pie!

So, for example, on a sunny day with a high of 91 and a low of 68, they suggest that you wear this:

 

 

 

 

 

Razorback lilies

Okay, so they're actually spider lilies, but they might as well be Razorback lilies - they grow really well in Arkansas, bloom during football season, make gorgeous cut flowers to decorate tailgates and watch parties, and they're Razorback red!

 

 

You can buy bags of spider lily bulbs at any big box chain store (I got mine at Sam's, but I've also seen them at Home Depot).  Plant them in full sun, with the tops of the bulbs just below the surface (or barely peeking through), and every fall you'll have a surprise pop of red when everything else in your garden is fading.  

Weddings at War Memorial?!

I had no idea!

I was checking the War Memorial Stadium website for information about the Razorback game this Saturday, and I stumbled upon this fun bit of info:

Saturday, September 15th, 5:30 to 8:00, "Wedding" . . . no additional information. 

Now I'm curious!  Anyone ever attended a wedding at a football stadium?
