Arkansas vs 8 LSU

[Hogworth Ballington III]

At least we'll win a few basketball games before having our hearts inevitably ripped out in March.

Will this game finally convince Sam to stop fucking around with alternate uniforms?

Probably not.

Ever since the Missouri Cotton Bowl, I have associated red on red with losing.  Usually embarrassingly.

I hate I wasted my time watching Arkansas while Texas/UGA was on.

[Texzilla]

No, we just don't have people in charge that want to win.

What real evidence do you have that these people actually dont want to win.  I always question this line of thinking.  Do you really think there are people involved in all these programs that truly don't want to win?  I hear this all the fucking time about various teams aswell. 

I don't doubt everyone involved from the PTB to Yuri to Sam and the player want to win.  Ineptitude and stupidity shouldn't be equated to nothing wanting to win.

I didn't. I have YouTube tv and it has several four channel screens. I hate when all four are on commercials though.

If you don't do something about the ineptitude and stupidity, intent is eventually inferred by the observer.

I've always said that the main difference between our boosters and those at other programs is that ours simply don't know jack shit about football.

We're also a largely docile, complacent fan base.

Anyone at the game able to find Yurachek on the sidelines?  You know if the score were flipped he'd be down there making sure every camera could find him.

Noticed in 2nd qtr on tv he was in the bench area. You could see him when they would have a shot of Sam.

Not sure I see other ADs do that.

I'm a YoutubeTV guy but I just can't watch that multi screen.

Well, they don't hate to lose.

I think  the PTB just want to look pretty and be part of the team like Hunter when we win and no where to be seen when we lose.

They definitely don't seem to care about building on success or hold coaches feet to the fire when we lose.

They blame fans who raise their voices and beg for hand outs at the same time. Fuck'em.

I know you didn't ask me but they really still hold onto the 9th in potential that was written for Broyles to say when Nutt was coach.

I'm not lying. When we had game day in 2006 it was "so much extra work than normal".  That was actually said to me.

After Royal stepped down at Texas he told fans they ought to be happy just going to a bowl game.

I think a lot of the older guys didn't want to see Arkansas successful unless it was from someone handpicked or that viewed them as important. Outsiders would have more pull and it would become their program.

Yeah, they used to have just two but now that's not an option.

I believe Yuri wants football to not entirely drown. I don't think he's really concerned that we aren't competing for national championships or even top tier bowl games. I think he'd be good with 6 to 9 wins and go home. Hell I'd be pretty ok with it at this point at least for a while.

Football most of my life has been all about selling an idea or a dream to people and failing to deliver. When that idea/dream becomes abundantly clear that we're not idealing or dreaming hard enough...a change is made. In comes the new coach and we're suddenly back to HOPE.

Since joining the SEC we've had two coaches that flirted with legit national championship caliber teams, being Nutt's team that fell apart after the Stoernover and Petrino's 2011 bunch. Nutt benefited from Bama sanctions for western div co-champions of the world. Other than that it's been mostly turd sandwiches. I think we all feel Petrino might have done great things had it not been for one tiny weakness. I like Bert but he was a horrendous hire coming from Petrino, Chad was worse. Pittman is what you get after making two prior horrendous hires.

When Pittman was hired I think a good many people's reaction was that if nothing else he can build the program back and make it a more attractive job for the next guy. That may still prove true but that was really PRE-NIL thinking. Now that you can really fast track a rebuild the game has changed to one of player personnel management and talent acquisition thru making sure you got the bank roll. Typically Arkansas goes and tells everyone that will listen that we're broke. So that's a super duper way of getting the best talent. You are literally telling them not to come here. Tiny Arkansuk strikes again from people paid million+ to act like they know what the fuck they are doing.

[Borenutz]

You can still do two. I like 4 when's it's not our game or one I really want to get in to. 4 can be a bit much to follow sometimes though.

[RazorB]

College football is totally turned upside down this season. You have teams that were in the basement and they are doing good right now. Meanwhile, Arkansas is exactly the same. We are stuck in suspended animation.  When the SEC is tough we are the same. When it's down we are the same.

We hired a basketball coach and made headlines. We just won't do that for football always taking shortcuts. The one time we didn't do that we had a guy take us to 11-2.

I was trying recently to select my own but it wouldn't let me stop with just two. And all their selections look to be four. Maybe I didn't scroll enough.

You will not convince me that we did ANYTHING last week to prepare for LSU. We relaxed. We "rested." We relaxed. We got off our fat feet and watched dog racing.

That's Sam.

That's our team under Sam.

They showed absolutely zero. No fire, no desire to win. Looked like they just wanted to go to the homecoming party after the game.
