The Fayetteville Regional is stacked and filled with playmakers from Arkansas, Washington State, Kansas State and Grambling State.

Grambling State Tigers, Washington State Cougars and the Kansas State Wildcats.
Sorry if you feel left out, Razorback fans.
Now, I don’t usually focus on silly things, but the opportunity Friday afternoon after Arkansas’ 19-7 win against Grambling State was too good to pass up. As Kansas State and Washington State were warming up for the second game of the regional, I began to wonder what the difference was between a (Washington State) Cougar and a (Kansas State) Wildcat.

Well, the fans had their own take and so did Bob Holt and Rick Fires of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Hilarity ensued.
Just watch.
