This is gonna be way out there, but “Mystery Science Theatre 3000:Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues” reminds me of Arkansas lol that episode has a direct line to my funny bone, I’ve seen it countless times and still crack at up it through the whole thing.
God Bless You for that great reference. Made me smile.
I love MST3K. It is like having my best friends from HS and college watching a goofy movie with me.

When attending Univ of Tennessee circa 1975-1979, a few of my good friends were members of AGR, the Ag Fraternity right behind the Lambda Chi where I resided. Stoney Curry, from Pulaski TN (family were hog farmers), convinced me, a kid from NJ, to take Farm & Animal Management Science as an elective out on the Ag campus. It was a helluva class. We ear notched piglets; castrated calves and pigs; cleaned out dairy cattle stalls and well, it was my only class at UT where I got manure on my shoes. The climax of the class though was walking into the Sow Barn. Here you have approximately 100 or more 2,000lb sows laying in a metal cage/gurney of such (so that they cannot roll over on their youngins and kill them) feeding their dozen or so piglets. The sows are very limited in their ability to move, so basically, they lie down and eat and poop in the same position for several weeks (until piglets are not being weened). To exacerbate the situation, heat lamps hover over the sows so as to keep the piglets warm - which thusly also heated up the sow poop. So, when our class entered the sow barn, I personally almost was knocked backwards from the horrendous smell of emanating from the heat lamps warming up the nice poop. (FYI, I called on pulp & paper plants for years and the smell from the black liquor heating up and breaking down the wood chips is like roses compared to a sow barn)

If I had known the word Sooouiiieeeee back then in 1979, I damn well would have belted it out because it is probably the best word on the planet to describe a smell so vile and caustic. In fact, the last time I smelled this atrocious odor was on a business trip years back when I drove through Fayetteville. Roll down your windows or be prepared to yell soooouiiee this weekend in Fville, cuz there's an odor about ready to explode on the campus when the Vols roll over the hawgs.

I just thought it was a state call to all of the fat women in that area

NW Ark is a hidden Gem but I'd rather live in Middle/East Tennessee.
Yeah NWA might as well be a totally different state than the rest of Arkansas. It’s where all the money, population growth and development are. Walmart, Tyson and JB Hunt are slowly making it the economic driver instead of Little Rock like it’s been forever. I’ve seen some models that predict it to turn into the next Austin (hopefully without the crime and homelessness problem) over the next few decades.

One of my instructors at UT Memphis said that he loved Arkansas.

He loved seeing it in his rear view mirror as he drove across the bridge!

Stationed at Blytheville AFB in the northeast corner of Arkansas for 3 years. "Sooooooiiieee Pig Go Hogs Go!! Beat xyz!" I heard a few times while there. I also heard the sound of folding chairs being closed and tossed into the wrestling ring at the VFW there every Monday night usually if the Main Event didn't suit the crowd.

If anyone else wondered their geographical distance from A&M... the answer is 500 miles.

I went to a Tennessee-Arkansas game in Little Rock in the 90's and a little before kickoff, they blared an about 15-second pig squeal over the PA. I stood there shaking my head and thinking I am so grateful I wasn't born and lived here.

Wasn’t the setting supposed to be West Virginia? I think I knew it was filmed in Georgia.

Either way, I had heard Deliverance and Sling Blade quoted long before I ever watched the movies. I had a very strong southern accent growing up and kids are jackasses when you change schools in middle school. 😆

Goodness, folks, the setting was NE Georgia. But the filming was done in Ga, NC and SC.

There is this amazing site called Google.com where you can find information like this.

Then you end up with weak social skills because you invested your time conversing with a search engine.. 🤷‍♂️

Well, our tradition of figuring out how to come up short when we have massive opportunities is pretty embarrassing too.

Oh well - Lots of games left. I just don’t know if our offense is going to ever get going against solid opponents. Arkansas is a stout team, but we just crapped the bed tonight. There’s still a long season left, but our offensive line looks fairly average - maybe even closer to mediocre. Our passing game isn’t very good because our receivers can seem to get open consistently and our O-line seems to be struggling. Heck, how many bobbled snaps did Nico have tonight? He managed to grab most but there were at least three. Just not very good focus from the guys tonight.

Pittman was kinda on the hot seat, so the best medicine for that is to schedule Tennessee. We specialize in giving up big yards in key moments to back-up QBs.

And coming out of a bye-week too. Man, that hurts. Just not any excuses after watching all those self-inflicted wounds thru penalties, missed blocks, missed tackles, oh-so-close coverage that still gave up big catches. Luckily, we can still prove some things in some big games over the next few weeks. . . However, tonight’s performance just sapped a lot of my confidence.
