Such a historic game for the A-State Red Wolves, Razorbacks and the state of Arkansas yesterday! The victory went to The Razorbacks but it was amazing to see so many A-State and UA fans cheering on their teams in Little Rock!
Kudos to the A-State Alumni Association and everyone who helped coordinate the Red Wolves tailgate party as a private event at the Little Rock Zoo! Our tailgate was second to none and we are proud of our Red Wolves! ❤️🖤
