Ark. State Is Putting Fans Out of Business

The Arkansas State Red Wolves are off to a pretty good start. In their season opener they upset Texas A&M at Kyle Field, and they routed Texas Southern last weekend to improve to 2-0 on the season. It's because of this that Red Wolves fever is breaking out all over the state of Arkansas (may not actually be true, could just be the clap), but that fever could put one man out of business.

Hoppy Hoffman, who has one of the greatest names ever, also owns a store called The Design Shoppe in Jonesboro Arkansas, and he was running a promotion this season. For every Red Wolves victory in a home game, Hoffman would take 1% off of the price for Arkansas State apparel for every point the team won by on the following Monday. If they win by 10 points, fans get 10% off.

Unfortunately for Hoffman, he had no idea that Arkansas State was going to be beating Texas Southern by 73 points on Saturday.

"It got crazy. We opened at 9:30. The people who probably got in line by 10 checked out about 1:30," he said. "When the door opened at 9:30, I know at least 200 people filed in. It was hilarious. ... It looked like they were waiting to buy rock concert tickets.

"I think I'm going to go to practice one day and have a chat with my team," Hoffman said. "Beat 'em, but don't run it up on me that bad any more."

Hoppy then asked the reporter for $20 so he could afford dinner and a cab ride home. No news on whether the reporter gave it to him.
