No word on Saturday’s game

As of 5 p.m. Wednesday, we have not received any word from Arkansas officials that Saturday’s game at Texas has been postponed or moved to another site because of Hurricane Ike.

There is a rumor going around that the game could be moved to Reynolds Razorback Stadium because of the hurricane. But this is just a rumor that doesn’t seem to have any truth to it.

Yes, it’s true that Arkansas’ grounds crew has painted the Razorback logo at midfield. But don’t buy too much into this. Arkansas associate athletic director Kevin Trainor said the logo was painted for next Saturday’s game against Alabama, not because the Texas game could be moved to Fayetteville.

Hurricane Ike appears to be heading for the Texas coast, and there is a strong possibility that the storm could cause Saturday’s game to be postponed. Officials from both schools are expected to announce Thursday as to whether the game will go on as scheduled.

But it’s not looking too promising at the moment.
