Arkansas fans boo BBN baby as College GameDay crew picks the Cats

Well, never thought I’d write that headline, but here we are. ESPN College GameDay was live from Bud Walton Arena this morning with a few hundred Arkansas fans and a sprinkle here and there of blue in the stands.

Among the BBN faithful? A baby, who was immediately booed when shown on the screen.

“She’s too cute! Cheer for the baby, come on!” Rece Davis joked.

We know true road environments are hostile, but to boo an infant wearing a cute little blue and white bow? Monsters. Absolute monsters.

After Razorback fans went full-on savage mode, the GameDay crew picked the Cats in a clean sweep — minus Davis’ pity call as the credits started to roll. The actual pickers — Andraya Carter, Jay Williams and Seth Greenberg — all predicted a Kentucky win in Fayetteville.

“I know this is a really tough place to play, but with Kentucky just dropping one, I think they come in with a lot of juice,” Carter said. “I’m going with the Wildcats.”

“Arkansas turns around their season in games like this, but I just don’t think it’s going to be this game tonight,” Williams added.

“Even though Kentucky can’t guard the ball, Kentucky’s just got a lot of dudes,” Greenberg said.

Good call by the GameDay crew. Shameful call by the Hogs.

(But it was actually kind of hilarious.)
