From the 2nd row of The Trough at BWA, I once told Keith Carter he looked like a faggort for his socks during warmups. Hey, it was the 90's and wasn't too frowned upon back then. I apologize to any faggorts reading this, but not to Keith Carte. frick him.
I'm in Little Rock for a couple of days and looking for a place to get some food, beers, and watch the game tonight. Any suggestions? Any of you degens going to be anywhere watching the game? Preferably somewhere I won't get stabbed?

I'll be watching from home (diet + dry January), but if you're staying out west Walk-Ons on Chenal is usually where we go when we watch games out.
If you're looking for a little better option for food let me know what part of town you're staying in and I'll send some recs.

I'd invite you over to watch with us, but the boss is going to be a basket case since we just put her baby on a plane for Italy. I wouldn't wish that on an enemy, much less someone we like.

Ha ha. No worries. Tell Anna I said hey.
We need to win this by 8-10 points for me to feel better about the direction of the season.

So YOU'RE the reason he hit 47 3 pointers that night...thanks.
I'm in Fayetteville going to the game. Hopefully exciting!
Bring us a W!
Was 10-1 us, then here comes the scoring drought and turnovers.
A new practice facility will really help our shooting.
We should be able to get to the line a lot tonight. Ole Miss is aggressive on defense and grabs a lot.
Good to aee Davis get going. Brazil giving good effort on both ends. Gotta take better care of the ball.
We still get beaten off the dribble an awful lot.
More than we should.
This team is mediocre. No wonder the crowd is so quiet.
We don't seem very motivated
Help defense has been atrocious.
On offense, getting too deep in the shot clock too often and having to take bad shots.
Love Thiero's motor. Wish he woulda made that dunk to get the crowd into it.
Our crowds this season at least on tv seem rather meh. People are there but they are just kind of emotionally checked out on this team. I think everyone's waiting for that moment where Cal becomes "one of us" and it just hasn't happened.
Dead crowd. Dead team. No post presence at all, although we never even try to exploit a mismatch on a switch. No structure on defense, we get beat off the dribble a LOT with no help. Crazy to watch this team.
I thought we were a basketball school now?
Took Ole Klan +2.5 2nd half so I can be happy either way.
Lazy fucking defense
If you don't know who the foul is in on, why did you call it in the first place?
Jesus we fucking suck. Caliparis rotations are head scratching. Using Brazile as a center is stupid
It's like they don't give a flying fuck. Bullshit defense and can't hit a free throw to save their life.
Dull game. Dull crowd.
We getting out chicken nuggeted tonight.
We are not an exciting team to watch.
I'm surprised by the crowds this year but I also can't blame them.
This NIL era has gradually whittled away my love of the Razorbacks. I am just absentmindedly watching the game and not really giving a shit.
Do we ever follow a shot for maybe a rebound?
I like how we jump into a crowd of Ole Miss defenders and don't get calls at home but Ole Miss can come down and get everything called on us. I know our rotations are ass but damn

All this talent and it's same ol' same ol' bullshittery as it's always been. Doesn't matter who the coach is. Doesnt matter what sport it is.
Every player on the court they have I'd trade straight up.

Arkansas hires a hall of fame coach and is still Arkansas.
Quote from: hit_that_line on Jan 08, 2025, 07:41 PMWhat's Cal's buyout?
Once again, Ole Miss has a better coach than Arkansas.
Seems like,our guys look skinny and very young. Other teams are muscled up and look like they are 30 years old.
I guess we can look on the bright side. Chances are not a single player will be back next year.
Hogs are 6 of 19 for the half. How is that possible at home?
We're not very good. A collection of moderately decent players. A couple of good ones. No team at all. We throw a bunch of different collection of guys on the floor at different times in the game, not a team.
Down 10 with 7 minutes left. We go down and run the shot clock down before missing the shot. You would think we would be a little quicker with our offense.
And Davis calls a stupid timeout?
We are the dumb-dumbs.
We've had about 3 droughts of 4 mins or more.
Quote from: BleedinRed on Jan 08, 2025, 07:45 PMI wanted Beard going back years. Guy can coach.

Beard would have been a good hire from UALR, Texas Tech, or Texas (we weren't in the market). We refuse to talk to him.
It's the program. All of it. Micheal Jordan in his prime would shoot 13% if he played for the Razorbacks.
This not having a big man that can catch the ball down low and make someone else piss their pants is hurting. Everything is a circus shot, jacked up shot, or face up shot.
Davis is a a retard. Calls the timeout and then out of til he timeout gives up the hail marry dunk.
Boogie can't stay with his man. Gives up the backboard floater.
Good gosh. This is junior high bad.
How were these players so highly ranked? Their shooting is horrendous. Brick after brick after brick.
We don't appear to run an offense.
Jack-a-shot is not an offense.
When you can't make shots, and you can't stop the other team from making shots - at home- wow. I thought with Cal things would be different.
I'm getting dangerously close to canceling my tv subscription and looking forward to football season.
What an effort for the SEC home opener!
They run the shot clock down and take a close shot for points. We run the shot clock down and take a low percentage falling shot for nothing.
It's over.
This team is cooked.
Pitiful effort. Pitiful. Just giving up lay up after lay up. Giving up long home run passes after time outs that the coach didn't even call. I've never seen a team give up so many open shots.
There's not an ounce of fight in this shit team.
Someone said it earlier. This isn't a team. Just a bunch of prima donnas that don't give a flying fuck about anything. An extension of last years team.
Just a tease to get it down to a 7 point game before they stretch it right back to 10-12.
Hopefully Cal can keep the team together and not have it completely fall apart like last year. 0-2 out of the gates isn't ideal.
Good news is Davis is about to foul out.
We can't even hit wide open shots.
Ballgame.
I turned it to watching California burn
I remember when Ole Miss use to be that dipshit program from the stank ass state nobody liked. Now we cant out bid them for football players, football coaches, or basketball coaches.
We literally ran out the clock on ourselves lol.
The fact we were running time off the clock to shorten the game down 6 and 2:30 on the clock is comical. They don't have a fucking clue.
Holy shit. We don't even try to foul. No one gives a shit out there.
A collection of retards.
Welp. Different coach. Different team. Still staring down another 0-3 start in conference.
Tyson needs to stop payment on that check.
I was told shooting was an easy fix. We are who I thought we were. It's okay. Deep down you all knew I was right.
I'm extremely optimistic about baseball so I'm sure we'll get news Gaeckle has a frayed UCL soon.

The problems on this team can't be fixed this year.
Bad roster construction. Bad coaching. Even worse effort.
We can't take DJ Wagner out, who is terrible at basketball, because everyone else is worse. We have no inside presence at all.
Z is worthless.
Wagner is worthless.
Aidoo was vastly overrated.
Davis is the the worst of them all.
Pitiful effort

We do not.
It finally dawned on me. We aren't an athletic program any more. We are an entertainment brand made to amuse the masses that don't know any better than "Yay, I get to go Woo Pig Soiee!" All the people that cared about winning are either dead or posting on woopig, and I dont know which is worse.

I've been watching Razorback basketball since 1981.
I seriously can't remember a team laying down and not giving a shit like this ever.
Mike's teams were meh but they played hard. Did Pelphrey's teams call their own timeouts and run the shot clock out down 8 and then not even try to foul with 20 seconds left down 6?
Not even try at all???
The way we just stood around at the end of the game was surreal.
Never seen anything like that.
Davis is just a dumbass. Like, KJ-brained. And he's an absolute cone on defense. Looks like he coulda been an extra in the movie Life. His 3s are just one of those retard mistakes.
Yuracheeks needs to go.

This is true. They've priced out the true Hog fans in BWA and the rich old fuckers that sit in the good seats don't give a shit. Our vaunted home court advantage is gone.
Combine that with the fact that the players don't really give a shit either and this what you get. Outside of Thiero and sometimes Wagner, this team has no fire.
Cal needs to put together a much better team next year. Preferably with more than one true low post player. We'll get abused all season in the paint. It's gonna be a long SEC season.

We're all here because we think Frank Broyles is walking through the door.

Nothing will make you realize this more than going to the games and having to endure that retard Jon Williams and listen to people sing along to "Dixieland Delight" while we're getting our asses kicked on the field/court.
This team hasn't improved at all from the first game. I think Wagner might care but he's not a great player, Thiero is a fucking monster and plays his ass off, Boogie is a future NBA player. Everyone else sucks and doesn't seem to give a shit.
We were at the game. The team played with zero energy. There was no discernible offense. And we never played with any intensity, even when we were behind with under 4 minutes left.
Really disappointed at the lack of effort.
Life is really better without Razorback sports. Despite loving Arkansas and my wallet being a lot better off, part of me was dissatisfied when my daughter told me she had chosen Fayetteville over TCU. I wanted to have an excuse for root for another team and I wanted her to break the curse.
I think a smaller factor is the AAU effect.
By the time these players get to Div 1 college basketball they have already played literally hundreds of games against fair to good competition. Tonight was just another game for them.
Winning and losing are just part of playing a basketball game in their experience. There's no urgency to play hard, no motivation to take it all that seriously because, well, there will be hundreds more games to play.
It's competition without passion. (And it ain't changing any time soon)
Yeah. I don't get upset or let it ruin my day anymore. I just shrug my shoulders and move on when I see they've shit the bed yet again. Regardless of sport.
I never want to hear another media member tell me how the players care as much about this as the fans. Just watch this team, honestly they don't give a shit.

Sure seemed that way at the time. Nothing since then has proven otherwise. Sure, Muss had a few exceptional years but the fan base was rewarded by increased prices and no improvement to the arena atmosphere apart from the actual game.
They get the revenues from the fan base when teams are mediocre just as much as they do when we're actually managing to be really good.

I'm not entirely blaming the crowd necessarily but damn last night there was zero energy and of course the players are going to tighten up.
I'll add the stat lines for our big guys is horrendous, Brazil gave effort but rarely gets the ball in a scoring position. Aidoo was a no-show. Big Z is a Big Zero. So that leaves Thiero battling grown ass men in this league. But Fland got his 20 shots up.

Hopefully this doesnt pan out like ole miss hiring nutt, but it kinda feels similar.
Shitting through the month of January and then figuring it out just in time for March has become an Arkansas tradition. I'm not worried.
Serious question here, but who really cares anymore? We've been beat up in every sport since the late 90s. There are a few bright spots yes, but why do we keep asking the same questions and pointing the same fingers...this is redundancy at its best. Arkansas sports are a thing of the past.

We are playing 9 guys fairly regular minutes a couple of those guys come off the floor fairly quickly if they aren't producing. The big pitch was that he was going to play like 6 or 7 guys max implying that we're gonna run G-league/NBA talent as starters in big minutes and that's still kinda true though I'm not sold on Davis or Wagner being legit pros. The remainder of the roster is basically guys that really don't belong in the SEC. Guys that I'm not sure will ever be "SEC" players. Chavis was fairly well regarded as a high major talent but hasn't sniffed the floor at all as far as I know. Karuletwa could develop in time but boy this team could use a Pinion.
One thing is certain we weren't going to win in this league against other teams with mens just on the hopes of our kids loving that helmet. We had to get paid mercenaries and a coach that knows how to swim in those waters. So I guess it shouldn't come as some huge surprise when guys aren't diving on the floor or otherwise fighting tooth and nail to win. *Even though I watch a decent amount of ball and still see other players from other teams out there giving it hell.
Oh and one more thing I want to point out here because this seems to be the go-to that he's had to construct an entire roster. Woes me. That's true at face value but in reality he's brought 4 guys from Kentucky....with Fland, Richmond, and Knox basically locks to join. The math here is real simple that's like 7 out of 10 guys that play if you want to count Watkins as the 10th man. two of his older transfers are nothing burgers so far and it's pure luck he's gotten anything out of Brazil. Hell Brazil has managed to get me to care about him again when I was pretty much done with his overrated ass last season.
Quote from: Rangerhog on Jan 10, 2025, 03:50 PMSerious question here, but who really cares anymore? We've been beat up in every sport since the late 90s. There are a few bright spots yes, but why do we keep asking the same questions and pointing the same fingers...this is redundancy at its best. Arkansas sports are a thing of the past.
A bunch of fans who are still active on an Arkansas message board and have been for two decades aren't going anywhere.
We're going to pay attention to Arkansas sports and bitch on here until we're dead.

Mine will read "Fuck Jeff Long" and it can't get here soon enough.

You can take a piss on Engineering Hall since it has his name on it.

Yes. Hell I know Cleveland Browns fans. Their lives are miserable. And they support their team every year.
You'd have to be some kind of pussy to stop being a fan of the Hogs because they don't win. I know we all say we're done but we're never done.
You suffer like the Jets, Browns and Hawks fans and that's what makes you a legit person.
Bandwagon fans will never know what that means and they are a disgrace.
The first time we start 1-0 the bandwagon will be full again. We always get sucked back in.

lol. Too bad he didn't "continue that form" in the second half against Ole Miss.

Got damn! Holy shit! Can I get anotha motha fuckin witness?
Hold on John Wayne. I never said I'm not a fan. I take the same beating year over you as you do.
:><:
I will always be a Hog fan. However, I think I am about done with college sports in total. They have nearly become unwatchable. In football, holding is rampant and uncalled. You can mug a receiver and no call. And there are others. And the replays to see if someone got a toe inbounds is ridiculous. Basketball...three seconds doesn't exist any more. You can camp out in the lane. Charging? Nope. Traveling...not much. And now, everyone takes three pointers. Not much inside game. And now, no pride at being in a certain school. It is all about the money. You can't even know the players names every year. Even coaches are seeing it and quitting.

It's a sad stat, I agree.
