[vegashog]

do they even ask a bunch of questions at this? its more of an event for fans than a presser.

sounded like most of the media were at t-will's giving the end of fall camp news.

AT LR td club? I think the presenter does his/her thing and there's usually a chummy Q & A afterward.

I hate to say it, but I'm not even all that fired up to see how we play in our first game. Not like I used to. Especially with a cupcake.

I'm way more excited about the pork butt I plan to put on the smoker. And the Woopig game thread. And alcoholic beverages.

My dad and I are just going to be tailgating in the gardens. It is going to be way too fucking hot for a cupcake game. He is 83 and the heat affects him a lot more these days.

I have two tickets for sale. East side section 121 row 42 seats 4 and 5.

Sam was weirdly confident at LR touchdown club today.

Alabama A&M will do that to you.

Here's the video from today....

Why we got 2 inside and 4 on the west side row 50 (slightly covered). Football in September is miserable.

Can we start a Muzzy sucks thread or something? Stop posting the bullshit in this thread.

I am fine with that although the last six pages have been about how retarded this team is and how we will suck. Sorry paw paw

We don't suck and the fans are the only retards.  I get being pissed that we are not maybe going to be as good as Notre Dame and Ole Miss. But to suggest Arkansas St or Memphis have a shot at beating us: RETARDED!

Once again, we win 9 games this year.  Minimum.  Sam is retained.  Tex's head explodes.

It will be interesting to see the fan  sentiment if we were to win 9-10 this year.

you are fucktarded if you think we win 9 games this year. I'll come back to this thread and laugh

Here is the rub, and where I might agree with Tex and others; I don't think Sam is a 9-10 win a year coach.   He is probably a 7-8 win a year guy with the occasional 9 win season.  That isn't good enough to keep a coach.  Same reason I wanted Nutt replaced.  I don't want anyone to think I'm anything other than okay with replacing Sam.  

But we ain't losing or having a close game with either A-State or Memphis.

Pretty much in the same boat. I think his record is as good as his assistants. He doesn't have the support (it seems) to bring in top money from donors for NIL. Which equates to talent which we lack. I do think BP and TWill could win big if they had better talent to work with.

[Papa Pigeritus]

I don't think we will lose to Memphis or Arkansas State, but based on Sam's history, at least one of those games will be a nail biter through the fourth quarter.

Of course, we will attribute it to looking ahead or keeping things vanilla for Ole Miss and Notre Dame, but it will likely be due to a boneheaded play at the worst possible time, a false start penalty out of a timeout, or a stalled drive from a dropped ball or fumble. Or because we simply took our foot off the gas - which is a token Pittman strategy when we have the lead.

I hope I'm wrong and we soundly beat both of those teams like we should. We do that and I'll feel a lot better about the rest of the season.

I'm praying for a loss.  That the finger of God causes a loss caused entirely by Sam stupidity. Fired on the field stupidity.

Fair assessment, but it's been proven over the last three years that Sam will cost his coordinators a game or two per season with either indecision or poor choices that have to be made by the head coach.  The 7-17 record in one score games is a horrible look for any head coach, particularly when two of the 17 are Liberty and BYU at home, and several others are games where we had fourth quarter leads.

[DirkPiggler]

People make the faulty assumption that the talent deficit between haves and have nots in the SEC is greater than it is.  I blame the recruiting star system more than anything, as people seem to think it's a linear relationship. 

Alabama, LSU, and Georgia have rosters that are made up of four and five stars.  For the sake of argument lets average that out and say their composite roster is a 4.5 star.  Arkansas is and has always been...even in times of success...three star U.  But those schools' rosters arent 50% better than ours...the variance between best and worst rosters is probably 10-20% at most in the SEC.  Having the right coach, one who develops most of his players, puts them in position to succeed with the right schemes and play calls, and who makes the right decision in close/late situations most of the time, can close that gap significantly. 

That doesn't necessarily mean you're going to beat those guys consistently...most of those schools have good coaches too. But you will beat them when they have an off day occasionally.  And you should consistently beat the other schools with three star rosters...the Ole Miss, Miss State, South Carolina, Missouri type schools.  That should be our starting point.  Get back to the point where we're the best of our tier, sustain that for a little while, then gradually build respect to the point where you can further close the talent gap.
