It's doubtful that Arkansas' pressbox will be this accommodating for the CBS Sports crew, but Tracy and Verne should feel welcome in Northwest Arkansas nonetheless. (Photo by Tracy Wolfson/Facebook)

Stop me if this sounds familiar: We've got an unranked football team from the Sun Belt going on the road to another state's capital city, facing a team that not only enjoys a ranking in the weekly AP Top 25, but also receives dang-near unanimous support in its state and oh yeah, employs the colors red and white on its uniforms.
Does the Sun Belt team stand a chance? We know what our brain is telling us about Arkansas State at Nebraska, but after what Louisiana-Monroe showed Arkansas last week, we're not betting against the Red Wolves either.
There is one difference between ULM's and ASU's match-ups: The Warhawks were only paid $950,000 by Arkansas last week for their troubles. The Red Wolves, win or lose, will come back to Jonesboro with a check for one million dollars — the highest amount ever guaranteed by Nebraska to an opponent for a game in Lincoln.
Looking like a million bucks on "Today's THV This Morning" was ArkansasSports360.com's Jim Harris, who joined Tom Brannon for an early tailgate party in the Weather Garden. Jim previews this weekend's Arkansas game against Alabama, how the Razorbacks may play without Tyler Wilson and if the threat of rain will be enough to dampen the spirits of Arkansas' attendance.
And whatever you do while watching this clip, don't pay attention to the white balloon. Just watch anything else on the screen besides the white balloon.
