Today we get an SEC win - Moo State comes to Arkansas GAME THREAD

[razor5396]

People keep posting this.  Do that and Arkansas is guaranteed to have another 10 years like the last 10.  You're essentially calling for the death penalty for the program.  It's retarded. 

At least there is dignity in death. This is just embarrassing. Since 2000, I cant think of another college football program that perpetually steps on its dick year after year.

[Lurk]

I've never been at a game where the booing was constant. Hell, the public address played Your cheating heart.

The " death penalty of the program"?

Where the fuck do you think we are right now?

In the words of Clark Griswold — "look around you, Ellen, we're at the threshold of hell!"

Yurachek is a weak, feckless AD who's put us a decade behind in NIL and shackled us with an inexplicable unmitigated disaster of a contract to a near-retirement position coach who wasn't going anywhere.

Again, where exactly do you think we are right now in which starting over is NOT a good option?

How exactly can we make this program worse?

I can't believe you went to the game.  I admirer your bravery sir.

We've seen what Petrino can do with a talented roster. This is an abysmal roster. Every HS recruiting site we are at the bottom of the SEC. Every portal ranking we are at the bottom of the SEC.

Should he beat Moo St, maybe. At most you could say we have equal talent. But until we can being in better talent we're likely gonna get the same results.

First, I "lol'd" at your response. 

Look, we are not on the threshold of hell.  We are one real head coach and real offseason program away from competing.  We don't need to send 95% of the team walking or not consider BP. 

I don't really have a strong hate for HY.  His hiring of Sam was fine. His extension of Sam was potentially retarded but not unwarranted.  I know Woopig thinks it was but it wasn't.  His keeping Sam as long as he did was unforgivable.  So fire him, fine. 

Everyone makes too much of NIL.  Plus, Arkansas has enough money they can buy the players to win 8, 9 and 10 games.  We may need more if we are talking championships.  But we need to learn how to crawl again.

So, no, the program is not in as bad of shape as some believe. 

Just one retards opinion...

Let's be real.  we DID beat Mississippi State.  We lost to Ms State and the refs.  They took over in the second half when we were poised to blow them out.

No offense, but we can't use the roster excuse when we blew a 14 point lead to Mississippi fucking State to give them their first SEC win in two years.

Refs didn't allow MSU to convert two 4th downs.

Do you think we have a better roster than Moo St?

[TC]

Bullshit. Very little talent and no depth thanks to Sam. The fact we're even in these games after that ND abomination is a testament to Petrino, and he should get credit for that, not criticized for it.

[The Whyte Boar]

Getting them to 4th downs is a huge improvement for this defense.

[HOGSRUNWILD]

Refs didn't allow MSU to convert two 4th downs.

Sure, but they did, LITERALLY, march them down the length of the field on suspect penalties from personal fouls like the one on the QB to the one where the ref doesn't blow the play dead and we throw the guy down when the play is fucking LIVE to the PI when the ball lands in the stands.  Those are all in the last few minutes of the game.

Then add in our last two REAL drives where they call completely phantom holding calls on big runs when we are in position to ice the game with scores or at least chew up enough clock where their last score never happens. 

Literally, their last drive never happens if they don't nuke our 4th qtr drives with phantom holding calls.  Those are calls that seasoned refs make to kill drives to influence games. 

They know how to do it and they did.  They cheated.  There is no other way to say it.  There isn't one person on this board that can say with a straight face that the refs didn't cheat in this game.  I'm not saying missed some calls.  I'm saying outright cheated, as in they knowingly called a biased game and made calls to influence the outcome of the game.  They did and EVERYONE fucking knows it.

[Show-Me Hog]

It feels like we don't belong.

We can't even look down on Vanderbilt any more. Or Mississippi State.

Our only peer now is Kentucky because we both suck at football and cannot WAIT for basketball season.

We don't feel like an SEC football school at all. We are a Southland Conference program LARPing as Southeastern.

There's nothing fun about it.

[Keyser Soooie]

I am.  I want it out of spite.  I want this conference to hate us.  I'm not blaming him for the mountain of bullshit the SEC and refs dumped on us today.

You want to be terrible out of spite?

Yeah, that'll show 'em. 

[Texzilla]

Whining about referees and the mean ol SEC and wanting to go elsewhere is loser mindset. No wonder we suck.  If you think this team can compete in another conference with the current squad you're wrong.  Those refs will do the same shit and you'll be blaming losses on them. 

I want an AD than can raise money and a head coach that understands how to build a modern culture and can win.  It can certainly be done. 

Bobby has shown that he isn't good managing games.  He's a good OC.  But his play calling is questionable in a lot of situations, and he continues to start a brain dead QB that can't read defenses and sucks at checking thru his progressions.

Losing this game is as bad as the Memphis game.  Just inexcusable. Time for him to go.

This.

And I've been watching college ball since the 70s and have never seen a personal foul called on a coach. Saban would literally put hands on refs back in the day.

[BleedinRed]

Yeah, that'll show 'em. 

We would be an 9 to 11 win a year team under BP.  That isn't terrible. 

[AporkalypseNow]

I don't know how people believe this

Did we look well coached tonight?

[Keyser Soooie]

We would be an 9 to 11 win a year team under BP.  That isn't terrible. 

No idea where you're getting from, he's  2-13 in his last 15 P4 games as a HC. He time has past.

Once he's unemployed NO other P4 school will want him for a HC, not one.
