Russell is the least surprising portal loss if we're being honest.

The writing was on the wall once they started inexplicably sitting him and he was tweeting that he was healthy. 

We have the dumbest coaches.

If Sam can't keep a kid like that, born and raised in Arkansas, who can he keep?

Jamie Pittman has entered the transfer portal.

Quote from: Show-Me Hog on Dec 10, 2024, 10:07 AMWith the 2024 shitty teams (Arkansas MSU, Kentucky) being at the top of the list, yeah maybe I can take comfort that the numbers are driven by the coaches saying "sayonara" and trying to get a better team in here for next year.

MSU and Kentucky don't have to worry about bowls though. I have a feeling the Liberty Bowl will be a bigger shitshow than you already might expect.
I took TT on the moneyline

We need an entirely new culture on the hill.

The Lord wants you to put your foot on their balls and believe in it. 'Cuz that's what wins football games. Not jumping offsides like a bunch of wimps and faggots. I don't care what those pinkos over in Russia say. You want to be a loser? You go live in Russia. I'm a winner. I'm an American.

I still don't understand how Arkansas is favored.

Supposedly Russell is saying he has NOT entered the portal.

Quote from: hit_that_line on Dec 10, 2024, 10:39 AMReally out on a limb there considering he got paid in high school.

Is that why he transferred from Lakeside to Benton?

This one pisses me off. You know this one isn't about the money. I can't imagine we're not willing to outbid another team for someone with his potential.

Got no sources on this and don't know a damned thing but I just sort of have a feeling that things are falling apart and spinning out of control to a point that HY and his bosses did not anticipate.  I wouldn't be surprised to see old Sam hit the retirement portal here before long, and maybe with his money.

They should all portal to anywhere else as well.

Make a deal where Sam "retires/quits/is let go" and immediately donates the buyout money to our NIL.

Instantly retires to the lake with his reputation restored.

If Yurachek and the admin didn't see this coming, they're even dumber and worse at their jobs than I thought they were.

Everyone saw this coming. Everyone knew this was going to happen. Everyone could see Sam needed to go and that this was the year for a coaching change. Everyone can see next season will be a disaster that will probably crater our football program (again!).

But as usual, we're stupid, have zero vision, and always a year or 2 too late to act.

I said this when it started leaking that Pittman would be retained for 2025, but why is it that we always have to burn our program to the fucking ground with everu single coaching change?

Can we seriously not ever have a coaching change that spares the dramatics and DOESN'T include cratering the athletic department. 

We couldn't just fire Nutt, we had to have the 2 year pass and endure the shitshow that ensued (including Broyles being brought down).

We couldn't just handle the Petrino stuff internally, we had to make a big public show of it.

We couldn't just promote an assistant to ride out 2012, we had to bring in of the most embarrassing 1 year coaches in the history of college football.

Long couldn't bring himself to fire Bert so he got himself coup'd by the boosters.

Those boosters couldn't just have a traditional coaching search. No, they had to go all in on Malzahn (with zero backup plan) and get pantsed.

We couldn't fire Chad after it was obvious he was a horrendous hire. No, we had to run it back in 2019.

We couldn't pay Lane or Drink in 2019. No, we had to cheap it out.

We couldn't fire Pittman after 2023 or 2024. No, we had to kick the can down the road and ensure what we all know will be a horrid 2025.

Fuck this program and administration, and the culture they've created.

I heard both he and Burgess the basketball player were paid.

These players must just be too stupid to understand that their head coach beat texas that one time.
