The Game Thread for Alabama A&M v Arkansas

[animal]

Let me get this straight. 

The fan base bitches about lack of NIL and the general bringing in of money to pay for better facilities and players.

Our fan base also bitches about the bringing in of money which can help pay for better facilities and players.

And the AD is the worst under both scenarios?  That about sum it up in hur?

I heard Ronald McDonald was gonna pay better but we got a 3 year gurantee with The King provided we keep the Pepsi away from our players feet.

No, our fans bitch about our shitty football coach who is here because Yurachek negotiates contracts about as well as an eight year old girl.  Aforementioned shitty football coach prevents lot of NIL money coming in because people have no faith in him.  Or do you really think the fanbase and donors who put together some of the best facilities in the SEC prior to the big TV contracts can't afford to contribute to NIL?

I don't think we should do anything and everything for a little cash.  Do you think it helps the Arkansas Razorbacks brand to show our student section wearing fucking Burger King hats at every single home game across several sports?  Is there anything at all "cool" about that?  It's very, very fucking stupid looking on TV.

We have an AD who bitches and whines about NIL at every opportunity he's given.  Rather than criticize it for two years, maybe he should have embraced it.

Shit like that tells me nobody in charge has any idea how to build a brand, which is what (along with NIL cash) you are ultimately selling to future recruits.

I honestly thought that the Burger King hats had to do with this guy:

Sam will be wearing one of those fucking crowns if Yuri tells him too.  He can tell Sam it gives him some gravitas.

We shall see how the O-Line comes along.  I think Green looked better than last year to some extent.  The receivers, we shall see how they do against SEC talent, but with Petrino, I feel like there will be dudes running open, just need to

1.  Give the QB time to find them
2.  Have a QB that can find them
3.  Have a QB that can make something happen if 1/2 don't happen

We shall see.  I doubt we showed too much in that first game.

The defense looked about as bad as possible on the first drive and looked like they should the rest of the way.

OL looked pretty good against a nobody and in the past we would struggle with anyone. There were a couple mishaps like Carmona getting his feet tangled and ended up getting a holding.

The sacks were mostly a combination of missed pickups from the RBs and dude holding the ball too long which he's done in the past and will continue to do so.

WRs looked really small outside of Blake and The 30 yo baseball player. But they looked like they had a lot more quickness. Blake looks like a decent SEC caliber wide out... the Brown boys may be serviceable.

I think this group is not as close to being NFL ballers like last year's group but could still prove very effective in this offense if the QB can get them the rock.

Te...meh

I'm telling  you, that 30 year old baseball player needs more playing time. He's solid.

I think so too, but I don't get paid to think. Like the announcers said...he looks like he could be the best TE on the team.
