Ole Miss game thread

[jdcatty]

There is a stark difference watching our crowds look bored and only there for the dunks and getting that shit up on Instagrammer vs many other venues where the crowd is engaged and it's loud as fuck. Do we even have a student section anymore?

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.

Anyway imma head out...think I'm done giving a shit.

Blaming the crowd is pretty damned lame.  Every time there was a spark from the team the crowd got into it pretty good.

[Son of Spam]

They are getting paid regardless of winning or losing. Why should they give a shit?

[Borenutz]

I was told by a circus midget and a morbidly obese that we would be just fine shooting wise.

We're gonna be fine, guys.

At least you and your ol lady are still upbeat about the season.

Yeah I'm seeing a lot of people bitching about the crowd on twitter but I thought they were fine. Actually got pretty loud at times during the second half.

[HughJasole]

and how'd that go for you?

not well.

So are the good players on other teams. Most of them seem to give a shit.

At least they do when they play us.

[Natty_Ice]

Maybe Calipari doesn't really give a shit?  I mean, what are we gonna do?  Fire him?

[bogeyfree]

We caught a coach on the final descent of his career.  He's all about "helping families" nowadays.  I hope I'm wrong but I barely see 5 SEC wins for this team(if that).

We basically bailed Kentucky out, betting 7 million that he would reignite his fire.

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.

[Rangerhog]

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.

Not to me, and I don't think I am alone.  I care.

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.

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.

Don't forget John White. Bill self would have been coach here the last twenty years.

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.
