Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium isn’t generally considered one of the scariest, most intimidating venues for the opposition when it comes to the Southeastern Conference hierarchy.
Arkansas coach Sam Pittman is begging for it to be just that on Saturday, though.
Saturday’s Homecoming game versus Auburn is at 11:00 am. We need our students in the stands early and our fans ready to make a difference in this game. I have said it before and I feel our Razorback fans are the best in the country and we need a fired up crowd ready to go!#WPS

The Tigers have won five straight games in the series. Arkansas has only beaten Auburn twice at home in the last 10 years. The last win came a couple of months after then-Arkansas coach Bret Bielema proclaimed: “I hate Auburn.”
Pittman isn’t that type of person. His choice to motivate Razorbacks fans to show out against the Tigers isn’t artificial. It’s genuine. And even if DWRRS is the 10th in the SEC when it comes to volume, an energized fan base can make a difference.
