Why? I'm sure to the fans in Arkansas those titles mean just as much as the Giants winning the Super Bowl does to New York. In fact I'd wager it means more to a town like Fayetteville because I'd bet by a wide margin a larger percent of the populace in Fayetteville supports their indoor track team than the percentage of residents of New York City. There is a great deal more passion for the local team in small towns than in big cities.
