Why would Rick Barnes say such a foolish thing?

I really don't think (many) Arkansas fans would have made much fuss over Texas coming to play in Little Rock in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Now, Rick Barnes has made a statement saying Texas will not play the Hogs next year if Arkansas fans don't play nice. Now we have some of our idiots posting where Texas is going to be staying. Why did Barnes have to rekindle stupidity? Stupid move.

...and by the way, a feeling a lot of us share.

 

Do you think it might have been a joke?

IMHO, this is not a big deal.
