The last Southwest Classic (I hope)

[woodhog14]

i'd be shocked if it isn't the last southwest classic. both schools are pretty tired of it.

It is. Back on the campuses starting next year. We get them in Fayetteville next year.

[Feral]

That looks good, but as paranoid as I am, I can see Jerry trying to get one of those series moved to Arlington. 

The most Arkansas thing ever would be to finally get out of the A&M series in Arlington only to get locked into another series there with Texas.

[buff2.0]

Let's do something different like a two-game series with Wisconsin and play the games in Indy.

Let's play Illinois and call the series The Ozempic Games

[Barton Fink]

Play a marquee non conference game there every other year.

[DirkPiggler]

Play a marquee non conference game there every other year.

We don't really have the room in the schedule. 

As appealing as it would be for the fans, there is a very real chance the Hogs could go 1-3 with a non-conference like this in a normal year.

@ Memphis
Notre Dame
Decent noncon in Jerry World
Arkansas State

With the SEC schedule I think we're limited to one good non-conference opponent per year.  I do like the idea of one good one, one decent mid-tier like Memphis and Tulsa, one in-state cupcake and one out-of-state rent-a-win.

If Jerry wants a game or two, let him pay for it with a $20 million donation to NIL and give him the gate.  Everyone wins.

[Borenutz]

That looks good, but as paranoid as I am, I can see Jerry trying to get one of those series moved to Arlington. 

Not too concerned about doing a two game series there every once in a while or somewhere but there should have never been some 10-15 year deal there. Jeebus. Horrible.

How about not letting Jerry tell us how to run the Hogs. If he gives us money, fine, but no need to have any say so in where the games are played or personnel decisions. It's obvious he is not good at that.

[FNG]

I think we win too.

Well, hell.

[Rick B.]

We're going.

[HOGSRUNWILD]

I might try to go.  I didn't intend to go, but now I'm starting to have hope and with Bobby coaching, I think our chances go away up.  I think he might view them like he viewed Kentucky while at Louisville...slapdicks that he does not want to lose to ever.

[Jostlyn mcCocksack]

If green completes over 55% of his passes, i would say we can compete with everyone we have left on our schedule;

This week is going to be a dogfight.  They can and will run the football on us...as per 96.3% of all football games played today, it'll be who doesn't fuck up in the red zone


it's like wash, rinse, repeat...three four down lineman...two deep safeties...you can have 4-6 yards every play if your five can block their four   

[hit_that_line]

We have to protect the football. Green almost fumbled the snap in Jackson's last score in the goal line. That toss play needs to go today. Already fucked us once.

[wmr]

I went to the first three with BMFP.

Petrino is undefeated in SW Classics.  There I jinxed it.

[egregious]

Yes, but we have a way of making some rookie or back up have the game of his life.

Didn't we do that with Perkins?  I don't remember him being absolutely all-world before the first time I remember playing him.  He was probably recognized before that but not in on every tackle all over the field like that day it seemed.

[wmr]

Let's hope someone has the balls to tell him to fuck off when he tries it. 

He's like 81 isn't he?  Maybe we don't have to worry about it much longer.

Jerry owes us at least $20 million a year for greenlighting Chad. 
That hire cost the university $100 million.

As a general statement, I hate tosses on the goal line (and in general).

It's basically forcing a tailbacks to catch a pass while simultaneously using their vision to determine their run lane. Too much opportunity for error.

[woodhog14]

I am actually thinking of going Arlington for the game?  Anybody else going?  I don't have tickets if anyone is trying to dump some.

I have 3 tickets I'm looking to sell if you or anyone else is interested.

[Barton Fink]

If he doesn't, I may know someone who does. Give him first shot and let me know.

give me till tomorrow;  I need to talk with my wife again-- but where are they?
