Barnes suggested on a Monday conference call that if his team gets the same rowdy treatment Arkansas received in Austin in tournaments past, he won't come back to play anytime soon. Texas is supposed to travel to Arkansas for a game in Fayetteville next season.

"If the fans don't treat us well, we're not going to come. You can put that out there," Barnes said. "I'm serious. We've got enough money here, we can buy our way out of it. They'd better be good to us."

That's hilarious!!  What the big baby can't take what you give?  I would love to go to the game now.  I didn't care before but that just fueled my fire.  I live in Texas, on the border in Texarkana and hate Texas sports.  He doesn't want to hear it in Little Rock? Come to the border city and you have to hear it everyday!!

Indeed.  They're really in for it now.  The funniest thing is that Texas fans seem to think it's a joke.  They'll get a rude awakening come friday, mark my words.  Some of us remember history.

What is Barnes thinking?  He is just asking for it now.  I hope Arkansas and North Little Rock give the Longhorns a long overdue RUDE AWAKENING!  I really think they do think its a joke, but maybe they won't if they get some return treatment in the ROCK.

Just like the rest of Texas, STUPID. They love to dish it but can't take it. You know, if Texas is scared to play us, they could just say it. Then they'd be saving the embarrassment of getting their butts handed to them and looking like a bull's butt in front of the nation. Those jerks are lucky we didn't get in the same bracket as them or we'd be headed to the final four for sure.

Barnes said it as a joke but thats just asking for trouble.  He probably knew Texas would be treated bad so he thought whats it matter, but still why add fuel to the fire.  It's kinda like joking with your girlfriend that you'd like to date her hot best friend.

Rick Barnes is a big puss.  Plain and simple. 

He thinks that the Texas program has evolved to the point to where they are above any of the booing and ridicule that other teams on the road face.  He will be in for a big surprise when he comes to LR.  I suspect that those who can't make the trip to see the Hogs will be sitting in LR showing Texas what a puss of a coach they have. 

As far as backing out of his commitment with the Hogs to play in Fayettville, I think that the NCAA should enact some regulation as to what reasons you can back out of a game.  I think that being a crybaby because your team gets booed is a stupid reason to cancel the game.  It will really show the rest of the country what an idiot he really is.

BOO TEXAS!!!!  YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Barnes is such a sissy!  Would he rather be playing further away than LR.  These games mean a lot to this city and we are so excited to finally be getting NCAA Tourney games, to think that Arkansas fans are going to pack Alltel Arena just to give Texas a hard time is juvenile.  Besides, there are 3 other teams coming here and their fans have already sold out the arena.  What an ego to think that Arkansans would spend the price of a ticket just to give Texas a hard time.  We have our team in the tourney too and could care less about Texas, except for all of the $ their fans are going to pump into this city.  Go ahead, pay the U of A the ton of money it would cost you to get out of your contract to play us next season.  That's just more money for the Razorback program, and it makes Texas look like they can't handle a tough crowd.  Go ahead Rick, if you think Texas fans wouldn't do the same to Arkansas if they were playing in Austin, you're even more naive than you sound.  Back in the days of the SWC, we brought 2x as many fans to the conf tourney 4x the distance to Dallas than UT did.  Cancel our series Rick, I'd rather play Texas A&M anyway.  Not because they're not as good, but because they at least have class.

By the way, practice for the teams at Alltel on thursday is free and open to the public.  Texas is supposed to start at 2:15.  I'm jus' sayin'.
