Gov. Sanders goes on air, makes case to Northwest Arkansas for giving up game

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee-Sanders took to the radio again Tuesday morning in an effort to convince those living in Northwest Arkansas that it is in their best interest to allow Little Rock to host one of the Razorbacks’ game yearly against Arkansas State.

“I think growing up in Arkansas, growing up in a Razorback fan, is a unique one, and it’s special to our state, and something I hope we don’t lose,” Gov. Sanders said. “And based off of what I saw this weekend as well, I think that the rest of the state, in what we hear, and you know, people we talk to, they’re hungry to see a game in Little Rock continue, and a match-up between UA-ASU showed out to be, I think, one of the most energetic crowds we’ve had in a really long time. And I think it is a great way to celebrate football season and bring all of our state together and just a really fun time of fellowship and football.”
