All is not lost tonight Hog fans still a long season

[Knot2brite]

I am still waiting until the end of the year to see what the result is before I start hammering the drum. I still say NCAA or gone but I will say this...I still see the same fundamental mistakes every game and I am willing to believe that some of this is on the players but after a while someone has to change the situation. We do not stop the ball and we play bad backside help defense and there is little to no movement to get position when the ball goes in the air. We need to take the ball to the goal more aggressively and move more in the motion offense. At some point things have to change..not taking about gettihrf rid of MA ....yet....but he has to find a way to win the games at home and steal some on the road ...now he has to steal more on the road because he has lost two at home...

[SONofHAM]

You guys need to just calm down.Mike is still building this program. top recruiting classes are on the way. i hope Jeff Long does not mess this up by firing Mike. i said it when he fired CBP in football. be careful what you wish for. Mike needs just a little more time.

he certainly needs more time.....but does he deserve it?

[BassinHawg]

HORSE HOCKEY! Go Crawl Back in Your Hole!

Did anyone see Scotty Thurman cock his head sideways and look baffled after Soft, Sour Faced Mike said something during a timeout? Hilarious! You could tell he thought Soft, Sour Faced Mike had lost his mind.

[Jumpball Nostradamus]

You thinking we need to get give him an extension, Joe? 5 years or a few more?

With a great coach like Mike Anderson, we would all be better off with a life contract so we won't lose him when people realize his potential.

[Karma]

FCJ - serious question here.  How many years does a coach have to miss the tournament at Arkansas to lose your support?

There's another question you have to ask to get an answer.

[Wild Bill Hog]

This post proves FC Joe still has faith in Arkansas Basketball.

Go Hogs!! GO Mike Anderson!! and GO FC JOE!!!

Two of those listed do need to go for sure.

[DoubleReedHawgCaller]

Razorback basketball is straight up dead. I don't know if infant baby Jesus could even resurrect it.

so whose 2nd account are you?

[forrest city joe]

this post proves you either either a phony, here to drive posts, or should committed to a mental care facility.

I still support Mike!! Just get to 11 wins. These guys don't have no heart down low.

I am supporting my team,and my coach.not screaming like a 2 year old to fire the coach. it's a long season.not going to freak out after 4 sec games.

[TheRazorbackGuy]

Going to be some ups and downs,but i still love the Hogs and am 100% behind them. and 100% behind coach Mike Anderson. just rela and enjoy the season. do not give up on this team.the great recruiting classes are on the way.

FCJ is a great comedian

Unless it's a football coach.

I actually do think FCJ is a troll. I used to think he was just delusional, but it's beyond that.

Year 5 is not a building year in football or basketball.  Shiite or get off the pot.  This is a show me world, and I'm not liking either one's building blocks.

[cosmodrum]

You gotta be kidding me. There is no silver lining here. No hope. Only misery leading into apathy.

Please go do some ass blasting. Long needs another round of it.

[Dmacattack]

Mike Anderson can kick ROCKS!!!!!!

How does a bball build a program over 6 years? Joe I love your takes but your blind loyalty to MA beats all I've seen. I don't hear you say for us to be patient with the defense in football! No you want the whole def staff replaced. Not one word from you tonight other than to be patient. Unreal....

[porkinsons disease]

FCJ - serious question here.  How many years does a coach have to miss the tournament at Arkansas to lose your support?

He's still counting

[pigture perfect]

Yeah, it's a long season. I used to remember when I wished it wouldn't end.

[Wisco Pig]

Nazareth's AAU team has some straight-up ballers.

[hobhog]

Will a home loss to Mizzou do it for FCJ? I MUST KNOW HIS BREAKING POINT!!!

[Jumpball Nostradamus]

One thing FC joe has never done is cry like a 2 year old to fire a coach.  Let's follow his lead and look forward and not backward.

2.4 Million dollars. How many years would be paid to underproduce? Heck sign me up!

[panhandlepig]

 This loss tonight was awful, inexcusably awful.  There is no getting around that.

[hogsanity]

nah, he wouldnt kick them he would double team them 75 ft from the basket and then watch as they split the double team drive and kick for a open 3.

In year 6. Delusional.

[Letsroll1200]

Wow... you are starting to see what many of us on here have been discussing for ages.  The Manny situation is a good summary of all of the issues we see with Mike's teams, rolled up into one package.

I still support Mike!!! We will beat Mizzou Saturday. This just stink. My Hogs will fight another day and coach will get guys ready. A solid point guard like IJ Ready would have helped. Arkansas kids are 3-0 and Manny Watkins is starting.

[Dominicanhog]

I hope so, they committed to a coach that got fired even though he accomplished MORE than Mike has.

So you hope the recruiting classes end up worthless like that class?

And what has Pelphrey accomplished more than Mike?

[BigHog396]

You guys need to just calm down.Mike is still building this program. top recruiting classes are on the way. i hope Jeff Long does not mess this up by firing Mike. i said it when he fired CBP in football. be careful what you wish for. Mike needs just a little more time.

Joe... quit hitting the pipe bud.  Your boy Mike can't get it done.  Mike is literally the worst coach we have ever kept more than five years, in the entire history of our program.  We have literally NEVER had a coach kept around that didn't have the program built up in less than five years.

Why don't you just look at the history of rebuilding our program.  Look at Eddie Sutton.  He took over our program when we hadn't done anything in the previous 20 years.  He took over our program when we had only had ONE winning season in the EIGHT previous seasons.  What Eddie did was build a program, and he did it in only three years.  He had us in the Final Four in year 4.

How about Mike's mentor?  Nolan completely changed the program in three years also.  He had us in the Final Four in year 5.

Time to let it go.  The history is already written.  Mike is a decent coach at best, and obviously can't build our program back to where it should be.  Mike should have already been let go, and the longer we keep him is just delaying us getting a good coach in here to build this program back to where it should be.

[hogsanity]

So you hope the recruiting classes end up worthless like that class?

And what has Pelphrey accomplished more than Mike?

No, I hope they get to play for a new coach at Arkansas.  He went to just as many NCAAT's as Mike at Arkansas, and he did it in only 4 seasons.

[Boardon Hamsay]

i heard Mike is on some great recruits for the 2034 season, some of his buddies had some grand kids born last year that Mike is really high on. Just got to give him until ear his 24th season to get them on campus.

Might not be enough time, man. Who knows what kind of rule changes will be in place then that we'll need to wait out so that rules cycle back to something more advantageous for us. We might need to look at things from an epoch scale.

[cosmodrum]

One thing FC joe has never done is cry like a 2 year old to fire a coach.  Let's follow his lead and look forward and not backward.

Looking forward is the most depressing part.

[WBOBO]

Did Nolan put a curse on Bud Walton when he left?  Take the offices out of Barnhill and open it back up.  Now.  Not next year.  Now.  Put the slobbering Hog at midcourt and lets go.

[RazorPiggie]

FCJ - serious question here.  How many years does a coach have to miss the tournament at Arkansas to lose your support?

If his name is Mike Anderson. Doesn't matter. He'll support him regardless.

[RazorPiggie]

Just stop.

Supporting YOUR coach??  Last I checked you don't play, although you might actually guard someone out on the 3-pt line.

Not screaming like a 2 year old to fire the coach?? Haha, no, you're screaming like a 2 year old to fire ALL of the football coaches on defense.

You are a dumbass. Sorry, but true.

You rail on Bielema but accept this bull crap product MA rolls out onto the floor.

Part of me wants some of what you're smoking. The other part says "no thanks, I'm not a dumbass."

[hobhog]

Just stop.

He's trolling. Don't feed it....

and he cried like a spoiled brat to fire Pelphrey ( after he had said we better lock him up long team before Kentucky came and stole him of course ), and he was willing to drive the moving van for Heath.

As anyone with a brain has figured out he is one of the trolls of hogville.

No, he is a click troll. Notice he always posts things sure the create pages long threads. That is not by accident.

oh yeah....keep dangling the carrot

wonder if we all put him on ignore how long until a new fcj shows up under a new name?

This is how I feel.  I said after the loss to Minnesota that we wouldn't really know this team until January.  Well January is here and the team is 1-3 in the SEC with two losses at home.  What is concerning to me is seeing the same mistakes and bad play again and again. 
If this team doesn't make the NCAA tournament I think Mike needs to start over again somewhere else.

[hogsanity]

I hear you Oliver. but i hope you are wrong about 2 more years. im all for giving the guy another year. but it does not take 4 or 5 years to build a basketball program.

Someones talking out of both sides of their ass

why on earth or any other planet would you want to give Mike yet another year to have a team that gets killed on the glass, cant defend the perimeter, and traps and switches putting their bigs in horrible positions.

[root_hawg]

Give it up, even if he doesn't make the NIT, he is still save.

[hogsanity]

Give it up, even if he doesn't make the NIT, he is still save.

I said the day he was hired he was here until he did not want to be here, he was unfireable. Some people are satisfied to just wrap themselves in the warm blanket of 1994 and watch the bud burn

[RagingHawgOn]

No, he is a click troll. Notice he always posts things sure the create pages long threads. That is not by accident.

Understood. But I've heard his idiot ass enough on radio and read enough of his stuff to feel qualified to call him a dumbass. He sleeps on MA 's crotch.

[Boardon Hamsay]

I wish Pondwater Jack was here to offer a more detailed look into the goings on in Barnhill but word is, Barnhill is being haunted by Darrell Royal's Floating Flaming Fulminating Spectral Head. He's claimed quite a few coaches over his time roaming the concourse there and occasionally over into DWRRS and the old BAC. Taver Johnson left on account of him. Anyways, I think we're all better off with Barnhill as it is.

Perhaps though we could put a big pantone and anthracite curtain up in the upper decks of a bud Walton to funnel folks into the better empty seats in the lower levels. Might help with the noise too. Or, maybe we should start piping crowd noise in over the PA to try to bolster excitement and regain the old home court advantage.

Pel was the wrong color.

Excuse me for being so dumb but I assume you mean BLUE.  Because he was
Blue all the way.
