“Red-Out” Planned for Tennessee Game

Arkansas has asked fans to wear red to the Tennessee game on Saturday.

Prior to the game with then-No. 1 Auburn on February 8, Arkansas students called for a “white-out”, where fans attending the game were asked to wear white shirts as a sign of unity during a game with a talented opponent.

The Razorbacks’ next game has the same feel to it, as they welcome Tennessee to Bud Walton Arena. To mark the occasion, fans have been asked to wear red.

Not only will the fans wear red, but the players will join them. In a move that was granted by the Southeastern Conference and by Tennessee, Arkansas players will be wearing red uniforms, which are usually reserved for away games, during the Tennessee game, says head coach Eric Musselman via Twitter.

The game with Tennessee, who just defeated Kentucky 76-63 on Tuesday, is a big draw and many former Hogs are expected to be in attendance to watch their former team battle the Volunteers.

To paraphrase a quote from Stefon, a character portrayed by Bill Hader during his time as a cast member of Saturday Night Live… “Arkansas’ hottest club is Bud Walton Arena.”

Arkansas faces Tennessee Saturday at 3 p.m.
