Razorback Football

So WHY hasn't this guy been playing?

We're not in Kansas anymore, Fat Dorothy.  Saving redshirts is so stupid.

I think Bridges played in the opener and hasn't been seen since. So we'll get him the final three games plus the bowl unless he hits the portal.

It may have been him that was running with the 1s in fall camp.

If he was running with the ones, why hasn't he played?

Red shirting in today's environment is beyond stupid

Maybe GVN didn't think he could be that good.

It's another sign that Sam is not only stupid and inept, he just has no clue about how today's game works.  He still lives in 1998 and thinks it's about the kids and it's a five year plan for all of them.  Fucking idiot.  If you have 1 level talent you fucking play it.  Win now and deal with the other shit later.  Tells me he plans on being here another 5 years.

An article on Rivals said he had already played in six games on special teams, so the redshirt isn't available.

These SI articles from the guys who cover the Hogs give Sports Illustrated a bad name.  Basically all they do is aggregate (steal) content from other sites and repackage it, often with a shitty take or threeve added in.  I'm sure they're getting paid $10 per article written or something similar, so it's probably too much to expect them to actually have someone on site covering the team.  At least Rivals and 247 have actual reporters in Fayetteville attending practices and other events.

"SI" sold its name long ago to a company that I think employs 12 year old retarded monkeys writing from their mom's basement. When I see an SI byline, I immediately know it's shit and I move on.

As to the substance, you mean all the hair pulling and teeth gnashing on here about a stupid redshirt plan is based on nothing? No way.

I think they kept Pat Forde and maybe one or two other national writers, but they're an off-brand Rivals minus the recruiting coverage and message boards right now.  My wife always brings up some shocking info on the Hogs that she gleaned from Facebook.  100/100 times it's an SI article written by Jacob Davis or Kent Smith.

Is it possible, that despite the hype and recruiting ranking, he just wasn't good enough to beat out the DB's that have played ahead of him.  If he has already used up his redshirt as someone has said, maybe, just maybe, he's just not that good.

[Pumpkin Escobar]

I think "Kent Smith" is either AI or legit autistic.

There were late on that by about 40 years.

I determined that when I read an article of theirs referring to Mike Lupica as their "house conservative".

If he's worse and/or slower than the guys we've had back there, we should just kick him off the team.

I'm glad the Hogs don't play this weekend - means I can actually enjoy some football.

Is that what apathy feels like?

If he stays he sucks. If he transfers, he was good and Sam shows again that he is an idiot.

Funny how Fayettevillians switched from football to basketball real quick. He didn't post anything after the Ole Piss loss.

Momma said that if you can't say anything nice, sometimes it's best to say nuthin at all. 

[DrMongoose]

Wait, the kid has played 6 games only on special teams?

Sam and Fountain are in so far over their heads, they are like a cancer.

Ironic what have been the two worse units - o line and special teams. Plus they are "great recruiters" - which is a joke.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it or anyone cares, but the La Tech game has been put at 3:00 and online only, no TV except for SECN+ and ESPN+.

Watching Texas's ability to throw the ball, what's to stop them from doing to us exactly what Ole Miss did? Just throw the ball and tell their receivers "go get it"? They will hit it often enough to score 70.

That or Bond will run through us like shit through a goose.

One thing I am REALLY tired of, is every time ESPN or any other sports network shows a team doing good against another team, that team they are doing good against is us. We are nothing but an afterthought or a video of how NOT to play football.

I just mentioned this to my wife. I bet 90% of the highlights they played from other teams were against Arkansas.
