Arkansas football is taking some heat for a truly unusual reason Saturday night.
Video emerged from a locker room postgame showing what appears to be Arkansas players watching Polar Express, supposedly at halftime of Saturday’s blowout loss to Auburn.
Here’s video from the locker room:

Following the game, Mason Choate of Hawgbeat reported that the video came from the Redshirt locker room, which is separate from the main team locker room.

That makes it slightly better than the alternative of Arkansas’ starters enjoying a Christmas classic during a beatdown, but still a bit of a strange sight to see during an SEC football game in the midst of a 3-7 season and a 38-point loss.
Plus, it’s not even Thanksgiving!
