Past participants said the program gave them an experience they could not have created on their own.
"Football is always exciting, and there's no way I could afford to go on a road trip to a game straight out of pocket," said senior Ashley Sufflé. "The price was right, a bunch of fans could go at the same time and I didn't have to drive."
"I think the program is great," Hunt agreed. "It lets students experience a college football game at a stadium other than Razorback stadium."
Hardy said that though his favorite part of the program was the game, he "also liked exploring the campus and talking to some of the local students."
The only downside, Hardy said, was the bus ride home.
"The game takes so much out of you that all you do is crash once you get back on the bus," he said.
Last year's ride home was especially long because one of the buses broke down in Pope, Miss., Hunt said.
"We were down for about four hours," Hunt said. "We ended up just hanging out and getting to know everybody better. But it was a long trip back because we had to change buses twice."
The program began in 2003 by University Housing, Kees said. Although ASG took over the program in its second year, the program receives financial support from RIC and the Athletics Department.
