Razorback Football

[Texzilla]

I was introduced to Razorback football around 64.  Best friend was Jackie brasuell's nephew in Ft smith. It was a different world; the state was fanatical about the hogs.  Everyone knew someone; my fifth grade teacher was Ronnie jones mom.

Saw so many important pivotal games.  One championship, but the program had substance and won a lot.

I wanted to go to college at UA.  Back then there were no lures for out of state students.  I had exceptional grades and test scores, killer array of extracurriculars, a letter from Bill Clinton who prosecuted cases for my old man, and who given him an Arkansas Traveller award.  And yet they wouldn't give me an exemption or a scholly to just get me to instate tuition.  I was getting offers and scholarships from private schools that got costs less than UA.  And yet I stayed a fan. 

After the programbeing irrelevant, and a laughing stock for so many years, I find myself at negative fucks.  Hunter has wrecked the program.  So bad it may not recover in my lifetimes. Not saying I won't reengage if they give me a reason but life's too short.  I'm out when it comes to football.

Well at least you got those glorious Coach Broyles years. The ones where he couldn't get out of the way of his own ego to keep Coach Holtz, who he ran off to win a Natty with the golden domes. Or that other guy, what's his name? It escapes me right now, but anyway he went on to win a college Natty and Super Bowl(s).

But yeah. The good ole days of being an Arkansas Razorback fan.

[Texzilla]

Yeah, fucking Lou Holtz.  JFB saved him from humiliation from his disastrous stay with the Jets.  Who did tell Hootie he couldn't run the Veer and did. Some great things.  But we watched his ego inflate to where it was too big for the state.  Who hated recruiting and the high school circuit JFB had built as the only way for the program to be competitive.  Who loved being on Johnny Carson more than coaching and actually believed he could move to sitcoms like Alex Karras.  And then saw it dry up as he campaigned for fucking racist, klan member Jesse Helms, not even ten years from desegregation in southern CFB.  He refused to stop, got fired as his recruiting was shit.  Fuck Lou Holtz.  I put him a mere one step above Joe paterno.  He could only win it where he didn't have to recruit.

JFB should have waited on Jimmy and he should have kept Hatfield.  But without him there would have been no Sutton or Nolan.  Or all those great facilities.  Or being in the SEC. Should have retired years earlier but doubtful the situation would be different. 

You're imagining a history that's not real.  Lou cut his own throat.

dominated by the 12th best team in the league

So bad. So so bad. Just shut it down if that's the best we can do. Put it all into BB like a mid major and be done with it.

We've got a real opportunity against the next two. These guys have to get right. Tenn's QB sucks and we beat them at home if the fans show up and support the team 


No seriously in a normal suck season we would still be convincing ourselves that we could maybe go 2-3 over the next five with all five being winnable games. Tenn, Vandy, Auburn, South Carolina, and Missouri is not exactly Bama, Georgia, LSU, Florida etc of the past.

There's basically no excuse for being this bad either btw.

I think the biggest differences between Chad 1.0 and Chad 2.0 is talent. 

1.0 had some talent on that team and just lost the team because he was a flaming faggot. 
2.0 never had the team and never had the talent, was cut off at the knees because there's no funding for the program, is in over his head, has a Sun belt staff and we play like it. 

The lack of preparation and detail is about the same. Lacking speed at literally or strength every position is about the same. 1.0's offensive line was a bunch of soy boy spread OL guys that would have struggled in the Sun Belt....2.0's line looks like a bunch of dough boys that were never taught how to be mean. This whole fucking team just looks like they collected a check and took the summer off.

[Barton Fink]

This team just isn't talented enough for this league. If that's not going to change, might as well get out. Changing coaches isn't going to matter.  We'll just be asking the next guy to die on the sword as well.

[Natty_Ice]

maybe the Big Sky will take us

Those were the glory days, huh?

Razorback football has been dead for a long time. Put everything into basketball and baseball. We are 100% a basketball school and have been for a very long time. The line to get into the Red-White game on Friday was incredible and tells you all you need to know.

[Son of Spam]

Fuck the game thread. 

Can anyone point to one thing this team has improved on from game 1? 

One thing we struggled with in the fall that is now better?

We have improved at losing. That is all.

[Hogfan58]

Remember when Indiana and Northwestern were the dregs of the Big 10? IU has a natty and is 5-0; Northwestern is 3-1. If they can go from crap to what they are now, it has to take stupidity on our part to be where we are.

Just get Silverfield to take a reduced buyout and get Kane Wommack.

He wouldn't take this job. If he did...Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

[Barton Fink]

He may be a robot.

He reminds me of Zuckerberg without the good product or success. He (seriously) might be on the spectrum.

Google kept trying to update me on the game last night. I finally just unfollowed Razorbacks Football and followed "slamming my cock in a screen door" in stead

I honestly don't know that we can judge Silverware fairly.  He's totally handicapped by the shit up top.  Now Cramsey on the other hand... that dude needs to be gone.  I think if Sliverstreak wants to show he's got the metal for this league, he should take over the O entirely, or be out there trying to find a new OC, then shit can Cramsey.  Show us that the team and product comes before his friend... and that he actually means it when he says we'll fix it. 

Cramsey is 100% a failure.  Watch the O-Line breakdowns and O breakdowns on 4th&5.  It's clear as day these guys are being coached to do the dumb shit they're doing.  Not only that but Crampus flat out stated that he won't adapt his play book and calling to the team.  Instead he keeps rolling his left handed QB right, calling bubble screens our OL aren't athletic enough to do, and ignoring the middle of the field... while coaching the OL to stand up straight and make even run blocks look like pass pro.  It's fucking retarded.  That to me was a fireable statement.

[animal]

The one thing you can take away is that there are plenty of programs that are flat out gunned and still look well coached. Maybe that's a thing that's going away with the fact that everyone's roster is so turned over year to year but I still feel like if you can come in and establish your program you should be able to field a team that knows what it's trying to do.

[piglosopher]

Yeah no question the OC and OL coaches have to go, at minimum. It's not just bad, not just unacceptable, but absolutely horrendous and there's no excuses.
