It sets up perfectly to do our Jekyll and Hyde act from week to week.
Ole Miss -- L. Back down again after a win.
La Tech - W. It's La Tech, and it's bowl eligibility.
Texas - L. Please.
Mizzou - W. They suck. Plus we're due. Plus we are having a roller coaster season.
7-5.
Hogs win 3 of the last 4. My guess is we drop the Ole Miss game.
That has us 8-4.
I predicted 10-1
Maybe we catch Ole Miss and end 9-3.
Klan. Loss
LT. W
Sips. Loss
Mizzou. Loss
6-6. Sam gets a cheapshit bowl and probably another year.
2025. Same deal. It's Groundhog Day. It's fucking eternal
I predicted 7-5 and I think we still get there. I think we beat La Tech and split with Meth Aggy and Teh Klan.
Ole Piss Loss
Texass ??? (Probably a loss)
Ruston U win
Misery win (should be, but who knows)
7-5 with not quite a shitty bowl, but one we should win, but will lose. GVN and all that.
I'm still 7-5. I'm not changing based on beating a shitty team I thought we'd beat.
Edit: Apparently in the prediction thread I voted 6-6. My reasoning was actually 4 non-conference wins, Mississippi State, and then Auburn or Mizzou. Now I think we beat La Tech and Mizzou to get to 7-5. "We're goin to a bowl!"

I think pretty much where I am.
I'm not sure even Pittman can lose to Tech.
I think we go 1-2 in our last conference games. Who knows what the 1 is. We generally play well against Ole Miss but we're coming off a win so it's probably a loss. Texas is good but getable. We always find a way to lose to Mizzou.
I'd be happy with 7-5 however we get there given how shitty last year was and how bad we all thought this year would be.
I have to say, Hogs have surpassed my expectations this season. I think they can beat everyone left on the schedule but Texas. Probably go 2-2. Not a bad year.
not sure how anyone that has watched texass the last two weeks thinks that game is an automatic loss.
We are on the tail end of the upper teams in the SEC! I seent it!
It's hard as hell to predict the outcome of any game in the Sam Pittman era.
The only thing we can truly predict is that we'll be in a position to beat Texas and/or Ole Miss and end up shitting the bed.
Probably Texas because that's the one we hate the most.
If Sam stays true to form, bet the house that Ole Miss makes us look silly.

Yes I believe we have a good shot. It can be set up for a nice ranked match if we can beat Ole Miss and La Tech I think they'll have to put us in at around the low 20s in the rankings. Would be a prime time matchup.
Unlike the last time Sark brought a team to RRS I don't think he'll be unprepared this time. I think Texas will be dialed in and ready to trade paint.
The way we were cycling backups in and out on defense yesterday even early in the game kind of told me what this staff thought about Miss State. They expected to win that one going away. We should be fairly "fresh" for Ole Miss.

The guys on the Solid Verbal podcast were talking in depth about this before they played Georgia, but basically Texas played the worst offenses in the country thus far (excepting Georgia), with Mississippi State being the best power conference offense they've played thus far.
Outside of Georgia, here's the total offense ranking of each of their opponents so far:
UTSA - 54th
Mississippi State - 78th
Colorado State - 84th
Vanderbilt- 94th
Michigan - 118th
La Monroe - 130th
OU - 128th

How the hell is the Ole Miss game an 11am kick?
This team is good enough to win out. It won't but we could win every single game on there.

This is where I am at but I wouldn't be shocked if we beat UT either.
Something I've wondered lately, is there any chance Pittman would retire this year due to health? He's really struggling with his hip. At his weight that has to be pretty painful. If he has surgery, he would be out of commission for a while which is almost impossible in today's coaching world. He's always said he would like to get us back to a respectable program and hand over the keys to someone. Now may be that time.
The most Arkansas thing would be to beat teasip and lose to methouri while needing OT to beat Tech - ole miss not sure.
One possibility to fully assure a backdoor method of getting Petrino back in the big chair without going thru a huge rehire process is to let Pittman go on leave and along about August Oh Shucks he's not coming back and then Petrino is hired as the interim replacement. From what I know about hip replacement is this isn't something you just get over in a short period of time...that's like a 3 month minimum down time and probably longer in rehab. At his age that's pretty much gonna end his career as an on field coach or at least put in jeopardy.
Another thing to watch for: If we finish strong this season Petrino will be desirable to a good many programs. OU will likely clean house so who know what happens with that. Florida could be making moves. In the NIL era we're now looking at a scenario where Petrino goes he could take the QB he's polished up for a year with him...
I hope I'm wrong but I have no confidence in Petrino ever being our head coach again. We're more likely to give that spot to a guy who has zero head coaching experience.

Decided before the season. They all were, except for a couple of flex games (either 2:30 or night) for each team.

It was both shocking and refreshing to see Arkansas on the single page of SEC leaders (T6th I think) after the Corndog/Fucksdogs game last night.

I don't think it's automatic but I don't feel good about it after watching LSU carve up our defense. UT's QB(s) and skill guys are just as good if not better.
MSU is dead last in the SEC in every major defensive statistical category so I'm not sure how much we can really take from that performance. I'm glad we get Ole Miss and a bye before TX though.

Remember what happened the last time we had a bye week before playing? I remember.

miss st lost to georgia by 10 and put up 31 points, lost to aggies by 10 and scored 24. some how our win was a scrimmage.
i don't think the we played x and they played y stuff is much of an indicator, especially this season.

It's almost never an indicator.
Texas A&M beat us by 4 and beat LSU by 13 so we're clearly better than LSU.
Quote from: DirkPiggler on Oct 27, 2024, 08:45 AMDecided before the season. They all were, except for a couple of flex games (either 2:30 or night) for each team.
They're mostly usually decided 2 weeks before, with a few held until 1 week before, and only a few pre-decided (like our Texas game already says 11). Sucks that both of our remaining big Fayetteville games are 11 am.
We didn't know anything about Ole Miss until they said "11 or 11:45" last Saturday, then finalized it at 11 after we both won yesterday, I suppose this bumped us up from SECN to ESPN.

No, the windows were decided well before the season for all games. This is new this year.
June 11th.

So they gave up 41 and 34 in those 2 games. My only point was that their defense is ass. Hopefully our offense looks the same this week against Ole Miss.

Hm. Interesting. I specifically remember trying to calendar our 2024 games before the season started and largely being unable to (except for Texas and sort-of Missouri and the OK St. game was set in stone for some reason). I also remember looking for a particular game during the season (Auburn or Florida?) 12 days in advance and being unable to find the time.
There are so many "Flex" listings in there that it's still kind of 50-50 I guess.

The flex listings usually at least narrow it to two of the three time windows.
This could go in multiple threads, but this one seems most fitting. It would be interesting to see which one could out-collapse the other for blowing the lead.

bowl game in history where each team blows a 21 point lead in the 4th quarter.

With the history these two big boobed coaches have, I expect a negative score. Something like -13 to - 9

Like either of those two could hold on to a -4 point lead.
