Now, for all those....

that said he would not return this season come right up and get your first plate of crow.

The line is back there and the crow is warming up. You have your choice of drink, chips and dessert.

3kgthog has to be in a major depression right now.

thirythree,

Texas is good, and looking at the game even with Fortson, we still have a pretty slim chance at winning.  Therefore, as soon as this game is over, can you predict how many threads there will be stating that Fortson hasn't changed things and/or made things worse?

I could cook this, and merge them all, looking prophetic by saying 'one' now

[DoubleJ]

And what if we're just as bad of a basketball team with him?  Will everyone else eat their crow?  Now that there are no players suspended, we can throw this excuse out for the remainder of the year.

Um, it's clear he's been in a depression for years.

I don't disagree. My thread is based upon on him coming back period. That's all. I am not expecting a win tonight. I am hopeful, but I don't see him being able to help all that much.

Hehe.  Of course, we all know you would never abuse your mod powers to win a meaningless forum competition just for the reputation.

If we put up a decent effort I don't see that happening.  I don't know who in their right mind would expect us to win with or without Forstson.

I realize that, I'm saying that there will be tons of early predictions for the rest of the season based on tonight's game with Fortson.

You're absolutely right. I wish he had come back sooner than this so we could get the ship going quicker.

However, this thread isn't about production though. There were many that sat on a high horse and said he would not suit up in a Hog uniform again.

Don't be surprised.  After all, our fans complain about giving away free towels at games.

[claycohog]

Thank goodness he's playing.  Pel's last excuse just went down the drain.

[lookinupthehill]

Exactly, 33!  Here, boys!!  Come and get it!

Me, I am going game to game. Yeah, I laid out some of "what I thoughts" and my "expectations". I swill still stand by them. We'll see what happens.

Whether it was implied or not let's not say that CJP has made any excuses about the basketball season. He has shown nothing but class throughout this whole ordeal.

You are completely correct but don't expect them to acknowledge that, they'll just start on some new negativity as soon as possible.

[HogInThaGrove]

No crow here thank you very much. 

One day people will realize that we might be right about some things....maybe then they'll stop yelling long enough to actually enjoy being a Hog fan.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to derail the thread.  You are right, though.  If people feel compelled to make bold statements, they should own up to it when they are wrong.  I, however, never thought that he was through at Arkansas, though.

I'm happy for two reasons:
1) the games will have an element of excitement to them now, and

2) we can finally cross Fortson's absence off the "we are losing because _________" list.

The burden of proof is still squarely on Pel and his roster.  There is still a long way to go to get back to respectability.

Can't disagree with anything you just said.
