Update: The results are in over at ESPN. Looks like a few of your suggestions made it onto the SEC blog.


About a week ago, ESPN SEC blogger Edward Aschoff began a series of posts looking for feedback on what to do in SEC college towns on a game day from a local perspective.

Ashcroff started with posts on SEC-newcomers Missouri and Texas A&M, and after soliciting feedback from Crimson Tide fans earlier this week, he’s asking Arkansas fans what to do on game day in Fayetteville.

From the blogpost:

I took my first trip to Hog country last fall and had a blast. The scenery was great, the people were more than friendly and the food was delicious. For those of you who haven’t been there, take the time because you won’t regret it.

So Arkansas fans, let us know what to do when we’re in town. It will be very helpful for Mizzou and Texas A&M fans who haven’t had the opportunity to make it to Fayetteville. And I’m sure there are other SEC fans who haven’t been there, as well.

Ashcroft is looking for feedback on eateries, sightseeing, and nightlife in Fayetteville, and is asking locals to email suggestions to the ESPN mailbag.

Give him some ideas, and while you’re at it, leave a comment below telling us what you suggested to ESPN. We’ll pick a random comment and send the winner a free t-shirt from Bearstate Supply.
