Hog Fan Poll results are mixed.
The University of Arkansas found out a little more about what fans thought about the football program. Searcy-native Roger Wooley released the results of a Hog Fan Poll.
Wooley hired a political polling company to survey four district across Arkansas asking them questions about the Mitch Mustain email controversy and the investigation of those emails.
In northwest Arkansas 53 percent of avid fans polled said they did not want an investigation to continue over the emails. Occasional fans answered that they had no opinion on the matter by 76 percent.
As for whether or not avid fans were satisfied with head coach Houston Nutt, 47 percent said they were somewhat satisfied and 19 percent were very dissatisfied. Wooley said that may be because the average fan was being overlooked by the program.
"It seems to the average fan like me who can't go and hang out in the skyboxes," said Wooley. "It seems like we're being disrespected or ignored like our opinion doesn't count. When you hear that there's only five percent of us that are upset and we all know that's not true and I think in order for the university to change course a bit the should consider looking harder at the problem."
He went on to say that the university should respect the fact that there are a lot more people upset than realized.
In response to the poll, the university's Sports Information Director Kevin Trainor sent 5NEWS this statement.
"It only reaffirms our belief that people all over the state of Arkansas are passionate about the Razorbacks. We appreciate our fans and value their feedback and support. We are looking forward to another outstanding year of Razorback athletics."
