I have prior engagements and hope to catch a minute of this showdown. Bass is charged with starting the next one.
Donald W Reynolds Razorback Stadium
3:15 Central Daylight Time
SEC Network
They are saying 88F at kickoff which almost makes me want to drive up and enjoy an outdoor event in that coolness.
Hogs -40.5. 62.5 total
That's a bunch of points. I hope we win.
"Prior Engagements"; Game 1 of the Silverfield era.
-40.5, take the under.
Bass has the game thread next week against Utah, where we have to go for two.
The only way our football program gets back on a respectable track is for a new coach to have an out of nowhere "they should make a movie about this" type season.
We do that, and the money and recruiting problems get easier, and it builds on itself.
Right now there is still a chance this could be one of those seasons, so at least for a few games I'm going to be optimistic.
Let's destroy North Alabama, beat Utah, and let ourselves have unreasonable expectations against Georgia.
I've never been not excited for a football season in my life.
This is ass, we should have kept Bobby and hired some NFL players!
Just getting it out of the way for when we only win by 32.
RUN THE BALL!!!
Fuck these refs!
Why are we punting from the 40 on 4th and 3??
Edit: after a timeout
not a db in sight.
I'm 15 minutes from the stadium and it's 83 already, forecast to hit 99 by 2:00, then a 38% of rain, but still forecast to be 100 at 3:00.
Maybe we get the rain and it cools it off for a bit, but prior to that it's going to be a quite a bit hotter than 88.

Ah. Good point.
Updated forecast. It's 96 now, will hit 97 or 98, and then they've upped the chance of rain to over 50% between 2 and 3, dropping the temp to 85.

99 over here but feels like 110.
Quote from: Son of Spam on Sep 05, 2026, 12:12 PM99 over here but feels like 110.
This is the hottest stretch NWA had had since I've lived here. I bet it's been over 100 30 of the last 45 days, and sniffing 100 when it wasn't.
Most years we're lucky if we hit 100 once or twice.
Hottest I've seen was a couple weeks ago, 107 in Springdale, I think some airports were reporting 108.
In case you never thought about it, all official weather stats come from airports or nws weather stations.

The money we spend on athletics... You'd think we'd have a kick-ass indoor outdoor habitat trailer for the mascot.
We really don't need the cheerleaders on top of a trailer getting pulled around.
And an on campus habitat for him. Let the students take care of him. We're an agri-university with the world's largest meat packer in our backyard. It shouldn't be that fucking hard.

99 now. No rain in sight for NWA. It is blowing up a little in the river valley
It's so hot I had to turn on another mini-split
acuff, thomas, and taylen green at the game.
5 minutes!

He was dressed sharpe walking into the stadium.
The hat must be a stupid ESPN thing. North Bamas coach has one on too.
I thought it was community America Bank stadium or something like that.
The end zone is so faded it looks burnt orange.
I guess Silverfield missed one thing in his attention to detail.
At least we have grass. Turf would be 120 degrees in these conditions.
That looked easy
Trying to stay positive.
Uniforms look good!
A rb wearing number 5? Don't you blaspheme in here! Don't you blaspheme in here!
Oooof
This doesn't look like the same KJ we saw last year.
Weeeellllll
Wow. Shitty read, shitty throw.
Does he not run?
That suck
Quote from: buff2.0 on Sep 05, 2026, 03:24 PMThis doesn't look like the same KJ we saw last year.
Better QB coach last year.
Guy completely wide open in the left flat for a first down.
So why throw it to the other team instead?
Wow. Not a good start by the O. On the one run play we had a very moderate push.
Beeep...beep...beep
Crowd getting into it. Caused a false start.
Good series by the defense
Good open field tackle
Don't fuck up the punt return
We're blocking a punt in this game.
I don't care that it's North Alabama, special teams are improved.
That will work
Well frick
Pittsburgh iron dome defense out there on the first series.
Well, at least we didn't fumble it
That was some slick return.
Too bad it's coming back.
Block in the back. So undisciplined.
Hopefully the offense got the jitters out on the first drive. Now go kick some ass.
We are kind of getting after it on D. Much improved from last year.
Damnit, get a first down.... Nope holding
Penalty prone so far.

Pick 11 random bodies to put on the field, preferably all alive and breathing, and there's a good chance of a better defense.
5 minutes into the game before we get our second first down. And we received.
And another flag
Too many penalties
Finally something good happens on offense
3rd and what was that
Dive off tackle on third and 5?
Run game looks like ass
I have no confidence in KJ throwing the ball.
And butter fingers on fourth down
Hmmmmm
Quote from: bigpig on Sep 05, 2026, 03:38 PMI have no confidence in KJ throwing the ball.

We're bad

Yikes.
I like the aggressiveness.
My positivity is taking a hit
This is not good fellas. Two possessions, two first downs, one point and one turnover on downs.
Can I revise my season win total from 2 to 1?
I see why we're not ranked.
Quote from: Barton Fink on Sep 05, 2026, 03:38 PMWe're bad
O-line getting pushed around by an FCS defense. Hmmm. Maybe they're just hot and need some orange slices.
Commercials should have a 5 year limitation.
The cheese it commercials need to stop.
Penalties and mistakes. Looks like we cant block them. Maybe we'll pick up.

What the heck...
Nope. Cant block em.
3rd and 2 and we run into the strong side of the defense. SMH.
We are poop.

Have we ever not won any total games? Just making sure there isn't a crawl space under this floor.
Good time to point out that Bobby was also a renowned WR coach?
Who's ready for some hoops????
Utah and UGA are going to live in our backfield
Oh boy.
It's going to be "one of those years, again" again.

Not a guy on this team deserves NIL.
I feel dirty cheering for that play.

Backfield, backhole, whichever. We got away with a hold on the first down. I think the refs finally took pity on us.
Lucky big play there.
At least silverfield uses timeouts !?!
Baylor, us, and Oklahoma state are setting offense back decades today
Jackson aint it.
A lucky check down aside, he ain't it
Wow. We gave this guy a five year $7.5mm annual contract and managed to downgrade from the guy we paid to go away.
We needed the called play to fall apart to get a first down.
We have 1 fucking yard? Is that what that stat that flashed just said?

This is the easiest game on the schedule.

Yes they are. Pleasant surprise.
I think we need some of those ex NFL players.
This is going to be a longer season than some predicted if this keeps up. I missed most of the first quarter, come in and 0-0 and we're going 3 and out... on a 3rd and 2. KJ made a couple of bad decisions, and a good one. That he was the clear leader is telling. The O line looks soft. Russel looked a bit scared to run. Idk wtf is up, but I shudder to think of what Utah and UGA are going to do to this squad.
I'd say the bright spot is D... but let's be honest, North Bama has a terrible O, and they are doing exactly what they should do. Next week will tell the tale on D. But O, current verdict is abysmal.
We haven't had anyone open on a pass play. At all.
I'll take "things head coaches say after the first game" for $200, Alex

Adcock
Currently 101, no rain showers in the vicinity
They have 0 yards. Kudo's to the defense.
nice playcall.
That was a weak ass hold call, but nonetheless... c'mon.
The WR routes look weak, they aren't sharp at all. Looks like that mid-tier shit for mid-tier athletes. Our OC is not ready for the SEC. The routes gain them no separation at all... they don't seem to be turning inside of the DB to the QB at all.

We've only had one coach that really fixed this.
Decent defense....no offense. Same as before. We either have a pretty good D and no O, or the other way around. If we ever get both of them together, look out.

So we're undisciplined.

We only have those when they can be called back, at least when they are completions.
The two most atrocious things so far:
1) penalties
2) no running lanes or holes against N. Alabama. Not Alabama. N. Alabama.
Offensive line regressed bigly from last year
Bad line and QB with no clock in his head make for a bad combo.

We're getting a pick six to go up 21-0 at half
OK so that play where on 3rd and medium we do a quick throw just past the sticks (or just in front of the sticks like that one).
We are 0 for 3 on that so far.
Needs some work.

I thought KJ would be our guy this year. I'll stop thinking.
Our defense looks so much better prepared and disciplined than the offense.
Just so we're tracking. USCe beat their cupcake 57-0. Bama beat their's 48-10. Kensucky beat their's 45-13. UGA is up 63-3, Texass up 42-7, TN up 42-0... And we're struggling to move the ball against ours.
We're going to have 14 points at the half? 14 fucking points?

So the mantra is go fucking surprise everyone. I was hoping the surprise was on the other end of the spectrum.

Good thing they told BP to kick rocks. We don't need no fancy plays and schemes.
That guy ought to not count that INT in his stats. He was only marginally more likely to have it come near him than me.

Stupid cap, Coach
Fire everybody.
Silverfield mincing no words on the offense, nice for a change, Sam would have been happy
Well, coach told it like it was
I'll give Silverfield this, he looked pretty pissed about the offense.

The band is playing Africa by Toto. They seem to have the same pulse as our offense. Nothing gets you out of your seats like Toto.
Sam's first game was against Georgia. We looked better than expected and I think led at half.
Chad won his first game with 55 points.
Bert's first game was a comfortable win.
You have to go back to Bobby's first game in 2008, where we took a lead in the final seconds to beat La Monroe, to find a coach's first game that (so far) looks this bad

I don't know. I watched long enough to know these early games don't mean shit...unless of course, they do. lol
I want to be hyperbolic about it all...but I just don't care enough. I'll watch next week not knowing much more about this team than I did this week. I think we have issues at QB and the oline, but I guess we'll see.
Defense seemed to do some good stuff, but it might get exposed next week as well. Maybe the offensive problems were easy fixes and it will look much better while there are serious flaws on the defense that North Alabama just wasn't good enough to exploit consistently. I just don't know enough didn't pay enough attention if I had the necessary expertise.
Yeah, my give a shit about Razorback athletics took a big hit yesterday. Watched the entire game and never felt anything.
I watched all the SEC games yesterday. We were the only team that looked like absolute ass for the entire game.

Preach
And, you're not gonna attract a solid coach til you're competing (top half of conference )in NIL.
We are never going to get a top coach or even one with options by trying to go cheap. We are in a spot now where we are going to have to overpay.
The old plucky Arkansas that was competitive, winners and fighters and all is no more. We might get good evals and have guys play better than their 15th ranked NIL but what does that mean? We might get 11th place one year? Silverfield took on a really bad job and it's going to be increasingly more unlikely for the fans to give a fuck and if I'm being honest the system in place right now really makes a lot of fans less fucks to give when you literally have no idea who's on the team. At least with basketball it takes like 1 game to figure out who's who. With football it's virtually guranteed they'll be guys by the end of the season that we're still like "who's that guy, where's he been".

The coach always matters.
It may be the difference between 5-7 and 2-10 when NIL is too low, but coaching is still the number one most important variable in college football.
Blaming all our woes on talent all these years lets the coaching staff and more importantly those who hired them off the hook for being substandard.
We have always been at or near the bottom of the league in talent, NIL or otherwise. Likely always will unless one of the Walton kids decides to make football their pet project. Even then, if they buy a top five roster we won't do anything with it if we keep entrusting them to fools. Talent without proper leadership is like bourbon without alcohol.

Like that big white dude on defense who was out there wreckin shit every time they put him in yesterday. I forget his name but never heard of him before yesterday.
Given the choice of a top five head coach and a bottom five roster or the exact opposite, you will always be better off with the former.
True, the best coaches are going to take the jobs with the best chances to acquire talent, so you can't just neglect that side. But you're in an even worse spot if you if ignore the other.
For the record I'm not giving up on Silvernuts based on one game no matter how ugly. The team looked like ass, but I didn't see any decisions that told us he was clearly in over his head, like when Chad pussed out and punted on 4th and inches in the 4th quarter of his second game with a lead.
He seems to understand what he's up against, and he's trying to do both his job and that of his incompetent boss at the same time.
I think if we had a Tyler Wilson or Brandon Allen under center, this would be a completely different team. We gambled that we had a guy who was good enough and we brought in the Memphis kid and didn't go try to buy a starter. Unless we see significant improvement that is going to prove a costly mistake.

And we are paying a QB half a mill in nil (2 yeat/1mill allegedly) to graduate early and not play this year then hope he doesn't bounce when the portal opens.

It's too early to give up on KJ Jackson which why we didn't go to the backup in this game. I think we gotta give the kid a few games barring some minor injury where they decide to go with AJ.
More likely they'll run him more against Utah unless Silverfield doesn't run his QBs except for those rare 4th and 11 QB runs designed to truck 400lb DTs

People want to know that their money is being spent wisely. No one wanted to give Pittman money, because he was a dumb ass. Silverfield is already getting more, mainly because he did the work. If he can show a favorable ROI, he'll get more. Can't see another 2-10 season instilling confidence.

The fact Petrino made Dick into a serviceable SEC QB tells you all you need to know.
The Oline and receivers are a bigger problem. They weren't getting open at all. KJ was definitely going through his progression, but needed to bail quicker. I think our only offensive talent is at TE. Make them the primary targets.

We don't know for sure yet how good KJ is because the OL was awful.
I suspect KJ isn't good, but any QB would look bad with that lack of blocking. Tyler Wilson would've gotten broken in a million pieces as slow as he was.

Petrino from the get go said Dick wasn't a bad qb. Said his footwork was all fucked up. He took an average intramural type qb and made him competitive in the sec.
Too bad he couldn't make Taylen competitive in the SEC.
Bobby isn't much different than a lot of coaches who aren't there to develop players now they are tasked with making quick fixes. You do that buy taking a free agent that's already got some game experience if not multiple years of starting.
The issue is at Arkansas it seems we're perpetually teetering from "doing it the right way" and then pivoting to "quick fixes" and "nothing works so pay more money to NIL"..."it's the fans fault"..."not gonna be an overnight fix"...."I gotta fix it".

Look at his fucking numbers.
Quote from: DirkPiggler on Sep 06, 2026, 01:20 PMThe coach always matters.
It may be the difference between 5-7 and 2-10 when NIL is too low, but coaching is still the number one most important variable in college football.
Blaming all our woes on talent all these years lets the coaching staff and more importantly those who hired them off the hook for being substandard.
We have always been at or near the bottom of the league in talent, NIL or otherwise. Likely always will unless one of the Walton kids decides to make football their pet project. Even then, if they buy a top five roster we won't do anything with it if we keep entrusting them to fools. Talent without proper leadership is like bourbon without alcohol.
This. See Coach Cal. You have to get the backing first, but that's where the AD actually has to do his job well. You get the backing and go hire the coach that can get it done. It doesn't have to be the Cal caliber of coach, but someone respectable enough to open the pockets of the big donors. Or, if you can't do that, actually go out and find a hungry coach that is trying to win instead of hiring a coach that has had mediocre success and looking for his career ending payday. Memphis was literally trying to find a way to get rid of silverfish. The folks in charge of hiring out coaches are either just plain lazy or dumb af. If you couldn't do better than silver, you just ride with Bobby another year. Bobby got a raw deal last year with having to take over that shit show. I guess we deserve what's coming.
We need a Saban guy like Indiana got.
I'm not even going to rag on silverfield, the state of the program is on all HY
It was HY that made it more costly to replace Pittman with the 2nd contract's buyout
It was HY that settled on option 3,4,5 or whatever despite us having an opening earlier than the competition. He couldn't fucking sell it, which makes sense why RS is having to pick up the fundraising slack
It was HY that could have replaced Pittman when the coaching market was more favorable
And guess what, it's more expensive to hire a cheap coach in the long run when you factor in buyouts and loss of ticket sales and fan support.
I always thought Pittman was a bridge coach until you're in a better position to attract a higher level coach. We all knew he had a ceiling from day 1. But HY really thought, yeah, he belongs in the league with Saban, Kiffen, Smart, fucking Drinkwitz, Heupel
We could have done the same with Bobby, if this is the best coach we can get. At worst, you'll have a team that can still compete in the SEC. At best , well we all know and lament that's never coming back.
I didn't think anyone could have been worse than Jeff Long but here we are. The lowest the program has ever been and we're going lower. It's impossible to convince me we can't find someone better to do the job, guy has been here almost 10 years this is ridiculous. Get his ass out already.

You mad bro? Be mad at Bobby for being lucky enough to get a 2nd chance here and completely shitting the bed. 0-7 are the only fucking numbers that mattered at the end of the season.

You saying I'm getting benched?
I think we'll be decent on defense for the first quarter of each game and then we'll get worn down when the offense can't get out of it's own way and end up giving up 40 points a game. We might even stay with Tulsa for a half.

Quote from: Lurk on Sep 06, 2026, 07:28 PMThe Oline and receivers are a bigger problem. They weren't getting open at all. KJ was definitely going through his progression, but needed to bail quicker. I think our only offensive talent is at TE. Make them the primary targets.
Receivers were getting open just fine. KJ either didn't see them or was just scared to pull the trigger.
KJ looked like he was playing not to lose his job. Played scared.
Hogs ML against Utah.
Quote from: Natty_Ice on Sep 07, 2026, 11:55 AMMay Lose?
Yes.
With the kickoff time, we'll all have to get a nap in.
I think it fits the definition of irony that KJ Jackson played too poorly to be replaced.
If he played better, anywhere from pretty good to great, we probably have a big lead in the second half and Hill gets time as a cupcake mop up guy.
As it was, both not to create a QB controversy and to give KJ much needed reps, Fish couldn't pull the trigger.
Just from watching on bootleg youtube I wasn't exactly seeing a lot of guys running wide open but I'm sure once the know-it-alls break down the game footage they'll be stuff showing up. I think they were taking away Pratt and that was possibly fucking up our game plan.

At the game and I didn't see guys open very often. Only guys open were drop offs.

You would think a smart guy would think about what the opposition would do to stop his offense, and have a counter attack planned. Maybe even a plan c or d, oh the huge manatee!
Don't worry. He is going to fix it and fix it fast.

So you think we should just pay people millions of dollars to design, implement, and teach an offense to college age kids that emphasizes on kind of a if, then, else = do kind of structure? Never work.
Just the first quarter, but I feel like we can rag on the OC also.
The kids just learn the plays.
He has multiple plans in his pocket to call plays that counter what the defense is doing. It's his job to decide the if, the then, or the else.
They just run what he calls.
Seems like we have had our share of dumb coordinators.
Bobby was the best oc we ever had.
Jimmy Johnson was the best dc.
You can't fix stupid and you can't replace intelligence.
I wonder if we have anyone on our coaching staff with an IQ over 100.
The offense we saw against North Alabama was not exotic in any stretch of the word, there was virtually no effort at all for window dressing. That can mean a couple of things. 1st is we don't want to "show anything" until we have to. 2nd....we can't show anything because there isn't anything to show.
Even the most basic SEC offenses should be able to run some flare for the dramatic misdirection type stuff. We were running right at the defense and throwing some very "going thru the motions" kind of plays at them and hitting enough to score over 30 and really weren't under any major threat to lose the game. We are a couple turnovers, a few penalties away from this score looking more like we thought it should be.
That's my turd polish I'm putting all this to help me cope for the next week.
Prime Bobby also had a QB and WRs who could read the defense after the snap and alter routes. Give him 5 years here and I'm not sure he could fill the WR room up with guys like that again. Too hard to get ballers to stay in a system long enough.
Reminded me a lot of an Enos offense.
Great coaches put you in position to win. Player's ability to execute and make plays more times than not decide the outcome. Last year we had guys running open every game. Misreads, poor blocking up front, and TOs cost us several games. Even with arguably the worst defense in FBS.
Biddy has eluded to Silverfield liking the short passing game. Especially to backs. I don't think we are going to see a lot of downfield attempts.
Is this one of our linemen?

The rest of the passing game may definitely "allude" us as long as KJ is quarterback.

The passing version of 3 yards and a cloud of dust.

Watching Ole Miss-Louisville last night watching both QBs hit pass after pass after pass down the seams and deep sidelines, often for TDs, I started crying.
You mean you can purposely force one safety to stay deep just by sending a receiver that direction?
Quote from: buff2.0 on Sep 07, 2026, 08:45 PMYou mean you can purposely force one safety to stay deep just by sending a receiver that direction?
Theoretically, but one recurring play last night was that Ole Miss and Louisville receivers would run deep with no one going with them at all.
When I hear "Likes to throw short"....what I'm really hearing is "can't block for shit and QB may be developmentally challenged".

Quote from: animal on Sep 07, 2026, 08:51 PMWhen I hear "Likes to throw short"....what I'm really hearing is "can't block for shit and QB may be developmentally challenged".
No, Silverware's Offensive philosophy is short throws to the RB. Maybe it's Cramsey's, but RS seems to like it. It just so happens that we also can't block for shit and have a QB that seems to be developmentally challenged.
My primary concern with Cramsey coming with RS was that particular offense. It doesn't work very well in the SEC when you don't have superstars everywhere on your team, especially given the speed and athleticism of the defenses in this league.
Kind of shocked that Adam Ford hasn't released his game review yet.
Rhodes was a major disappointment. Any news on him?

Apparently he didn't start because he was "hurt" but then they let him play at some point and he recorded 0 tackles. If he really was nursing an injury, why play him at all? Doesn't pass the smell test.

He didn't practice during the week because he was "hurt". Sounds like coach thought that was BS. There's a difference between injured or "hurt".
Sending a message.

He really is hurt. He also had 1 tackle. His injury will be a lingering injury all season from what I was told.
He didn't scrimmage in the last scrimmage they had.
