FAYETVILLE, Arkansas – Water shortages associated with the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Liberty Bowl made second page news just before halftime.
This is because the water outage only affected fans attending the game against Kansas in Memphis. However, his Twitter outage, which began mid-game around 6:13 p.m., affected an even larger portion of his fan base.
For better or worse, Razorbacks are known to have fans who have the strongest emotional reactions to each of the game’s ups and downs.
The outage reportedly spanned the globe, with the exception of a lucky handful of people who still had spotty access on certain mobile phone platforms.
Mostly asking Raheim Sanders during halftime if he knew what happened, complaining about quarterback KJ Jefferson being thrown into the bases of the stadium bleachers, or holding the call. There was no outlet to repeatedly vomit about what to do.
How many could have argued about Quincy McAdoo crushing a Kansas receiver with a legal hard-hit put him to sleep standing over him when serious injury still seemed possible. I taunted him before doing the motion.
Fans either relied too much on the running game when Arkansas built a big lead in the second quarter, or went wild when they squeezed half of the third quarter on the running game to establish a physical edge over Kansas. We couldn’t talk about celebrating.
The Arkansas believers sat helplessly, all they could do was explode at the people in the room.The dog and the Christmas tree were still lit in the corner of the room.
As the lead slowly faded away, it became clear Arkansas fans needed a social media hero.
For those who didn’t have access to Twitter, what most people can agree on is an accurate description of what would have been said.

A Kansas touchdown and a two-point conversion tied the score with 41 seconds remaining! It’s time to switch to basketball. #WPS #Muss4President
If that ref is male, he’ll meet me behind Chikfila in Germantown! #WPS #OpenACan
Cam Little is a good player from at least 72 yards. That man has a rocket strapped to his ankle. #WPS #Downtown

The heard rocket is not actually injured. My cousin had a front row ticket and texted me that Rocket told the assistant to enter the portal.#WPS
Can someone tell the red snuggy guy to stop being in front of the camera? I can’t watch Kansas break everyone’s heart! #WPS #ThatLosingFeeling
If Pittman backs down on this he deserves another big raise and a lifetime contract! #WPS #MyOtherHusbandIsASam

reply: He owes a scholarship, idiot! Jadon Wilson. He’s the freshman KJ was talking about.
Last pending call!!! They are doing all their game references! #WPS #RefAreBlind
If you don’t see Baller there, send me a tape!
Targeting?!? He led with his shoulder! Was the man down and had to stop him from entering? Is it a penalty to play soccer? #WPS #outrageous
These references are paid! Worst reference ever! #WPS
Does this mean Quincy McAdoo will miss some of the first games of next season? #WPS #FreeQ
Put KJ Jefferson at linebacker. Either way, we’re pretty much out of a player and he was able to get a stop on this 2 point conversion. #WPS
Someone needs to launch Arky from @SEC. This is embarrassing. #Mizou #EliIsAGod
reply: Shut up and drink! Find her two stars in the portal before trading Misery for Oklahoma State.
I can’t believe ESPN showed the score of @RazorbackMBB against @LSUBasketball! Curse ESPN! #WPS #Leave A Little Mystery
Reply: Yeah, but I bet you wouldn’t mind looking at the Missouri vs. Kentucky score.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Liberty Bowl Champion!!!! Another trophy on the case! #WPS #Trophy King
Pittman almost forgot to mention sponsors in the interview. #WPS
@RazorbackMBB for cleansing my soul. Oh, God! what are the hogs wearing? #WPS #ItsRedAndWhite
Yes, not having Twitter was an inconvenience, but much like the water shortage in Memphis, Razorback fans overcome it.
