Arkansas Razorbacks Football Games Are Likely Going To Have Sniper Teams Atop The Stadium So That’ll Be Fun

“You see, son? We’re gonna take care of you here at the University of Arkansas. We have a top-of-the-line weight room, academic tutors, *cough* sniperteam8 *cough* and fantastic dining halls,” Razorbacks head coach Bret Bielema stammers as he attempts to snag a high-profile recruit.

Leave it to Arkansas to take the right to bear arms to a whole nother level. A new law in the state allows people to carry concealed firearms on college campuses, including, yes, the University of Arkansas and all Razorbacks football games. In fallout, snipers at the top of Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium appears to be a very real possibility, according to a state representative.

Hang on. Someone refresh my memory. The movie The Longest Yard… that wasn’t based on true events, right?

This seems rather aggressive on both sides. For one, I’m not super pumped about the idea of wearing a visiting team’s jersey in a stadium filled with drunk, locked-and-loaded Razorbacks fans whose expectations for their teams year-in and year-out are just wayyy too high. You went to the Belk Bowl this year and lost it. It’s time to lower your expectations.

On the flip side, snipers chilling at the top of the stadium would be quite the sight. Opposing running back breaks away for a would-be 90-yard touchdown? Pow. Redefining blowing out your knee, one snipe at a time. That wouldn’t be the first time someone was sniped in Fayetteville, either…

They shot him right there; right in the middle of the street. Crazy.

Please make this happen, Razorbacks football. It’ll be hilarious.

    Penn State, Ohio State, and Michigan, among others, have had snipers atop their press boxes for many years. Arkansas isn’t setting precedence here

    Ohio State has had snipers at games for as long as I can remember and we don’t even allow guns on campus let alone in the stadium on game days.

    The Ark. legislature passed a bill March 30, 2017, which bans firearms at sporting events and day care centers. So no concealed carry allowed at Razorback Stadium now.

    Scoring a touchdown,
    then drawing your gun and shooting it to celebrate. TFM.

    You’re a little late, they’re banned at stadiums and say cares now. THIS IS FAKE NEWS.
