Social media vibes for Arkansas-FIU: No one cares pre-game
The scene outside of Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium on Saturday night was less than enthusiastic.
The scene inside about a half-hour before Arkansas was set to kick off against Florida International was about the same.
The Razorbacks, coming off a devastating loss to Auburn in Fayetteville last week, lost bowl eligibility when they lost to the Tigers. FIU, a low-level Sun Belt team, was never really going to bring a ton of fans to stadium, anyway, but based off the pictures below, it’s hard to believe things are as bad as they are.
And the game hasn’t even kicked off yet.
Arkansas will almost certainly win. The Hogs are four-touchdown favorites. It’s just that that isn’t enough right now.
No one cares.
Auburn's struggles are bad for Arkansas
Fire Sam Pittman immediately. Holy cow our program is a JOKE https://t.co/hRbxI1Y6K5

Yikes. Arkansas cannot lose to Florida International now. Cannot.

Like we said, no one cares about this game.
No better inside

Not really. But the conference is strong(er than usual).
Some still believe in Pittman
I feel as if Coach Pittman deserves another year or two. The players LOVE playing for him & he actually wants to coach. If KJ Jefferson decided to return next year & can improve the O Line, Jesus Arkansas will be scary. 🐗💯 #WPS #ArkansasRazorbacks #KeepPittman

There are probably more in support than not, but this is the internet, where everything is blown out of proportion.
Some injury issues
Jaylon Braxton is in street clothes as some Hogs emerge from the locker room for warm ups.
Rocket Sanders is dressed and going through warm ups.
Don't see RT Patrick Kutas, but not all of the offensive linemen are out yet. https://t.co/t7mohKf6XE

Pittman said the Hogs wouldn’t be at full strength.
Criswell will probably get some action
Hopefully get to see Criswell for more than a series or two tonight.

Will it be because starting quarterback KJ Jefferson struggles or will it be because Arkansas is set to blow out FIU?
