We were a hell of a lot closer to 5 wins last year than we were 9 and that is a fact.

Nope, 2 from 9, 2 from 5, that's the fact.

[bennyl08]

We were a hell of a lot closer to 5 wins last year than we were 9 and that is an alternative fact.

FIFY

We play the the TCU and OM games 100 times, we win 50-60 of the games. Pretty evenly matched those games were.

We play Mizzou and VT 100 times, we win 95 of them. You don't absolutely blow a team out of the water like that on a fluke. We were the superior talent on the field and choked as a team.

9 wins is now what we're seeking as a measuring tool for success?

This teams biggest battle last year was between their own ears. They don't have mental breakdowns I think only games they definitely would've lost were Auburn and Alabama and LSU. Rest of them I think we win.

Aggies were rolling pretty strong early in the season before Knight got injured. Might have still lost that one as well. Though, the score was more lopsided than it should have been

At halftime it was pretty close. IMO that goaline push we lost and the targeting ejection were the turning points in that game. Aggies ran it up in fourth quarter and end of third when we seemed to give up.

[hawgon]

Nope, 2 from 9, 2 from 5, that's the fact.

Nope, we were four points from five wins and fifteen from nine.  That is fact.

[LZH]

You don't think our offense has an identity? And why would you want to continue the identity the defense had?

Ha, no darn. Whatever identity the defense had last year let's shoot it and bury it.

[hogcard1964]

Here's the great thing, your post is just an opinion and not fact. Just like my post that you quoted, was based on opinion. None of us know what is going to happen should (A), (B) or (C) (whatever those may be) occur except for Jeff Long. We all speculate and we are all biased to come extent in our opinions one way or the other. But none of us know for certain.

Long is not making any moves with the football and basketball programs.  That's a fact.  Enjoy

Leading big at half in two games we lost = really close to 9 wins. Fact.

[Biggus Piggus]

He's definitely changed.  And with our running game, it doesn't make a lot of sense.

We pushed our running game as far as it could go last season. You guys are auguring into the ground now. Embarrassing yourselves.

And hence our quarterback was run into the ground.  Bielema became pass happy.  That's a fact.

A lack of quality depth shows up in the second half - we can't finish

Every record on every team can be adjusted by "closer to", however, the final results are all that are officially recorded, fact.

9 wins is now what we're seeking as a measuring tool for success?

9 wins next season would definitely please me. I know it won't please you because you will never be pleased as long as CBB/Long are here, which would just be an added bonus for me to enjoy. But hey, you have accepted that we are just a mediocre team and refuse to complain about it anymore, amirite? lol

Do you feel like the recent coaching changes upgraded our staff? Is this the special staff CBB has been chasing since his arrival?

Its nice to know his plan is finally coming  together....why did he wait until now?

Forget about it- let's go win the damn SEC

I'll respond to your question to say this... I have opinions on the questions you asked, but realize that you are not asking those questions with any intent on having an honest discussion. You are not anyone that I take seriously enough to have an honest discussion with. Your purpose here is to be a muckraker. You lost me in the nutritionist thread and will never recover me as someone that takes you seriously. Happy trolling friend.

I lost you in the nutritionist thread...but here you are again. Thanks for the support Chumlee.

I still think we have a nutrition program about 20 yrs behind programs like bama. If we copy their D we could at least copy their nutes program too

[southeasthog]

And is not anywhere close to the dialogue that it was addressed to. You know. The one about closer to 9 wins. But you knew that didn't you?

Really? Just a couple of weeks ago you didn't even know we had one. Been doing a lot of research on ours and theirs since then have ya?

I haven't put you on ignore because I do find your posts entertaining. They usually bring a smile to my face. I just wouldn't attempt to have a serious conversation with you because I do not believe you are faking it. I responded to you because you asked me a question directly.

You were provided a barrage of links showing otherwise.

Our nutrition program isn't 5 years behind anybody, much less 20. However, facts don't seem to matter. Literally everything you said that you wish we did nutritionally, a link was provided showing you explicitly that we do in fact do and have that. However, once some people make up their mind, nothing will convince them.

[Pig In The City]

His contract is thru 2020, so 4 more years.

No way he stays that long unless he turns this around.

You obviously didnt read the link I provided about the bama nutrition program- we dont even come close...I read the links provided and chuckled.

Its laughable

From the article in question:

"Anderson said Bragg knows exactly what vitamins certain players need. She knows their favorite shakes. She knows who takes Juven shots- a liquid protein that is designed to aid tissue growth- and she knows how each player likes to recover after a workout."

Where is that link about us using Juven shots to aid tissue growth?

[PORKULATOR]

I thought for a second,  this title looks interesting and it's floated around fere for awhile,  might as well give it a look.... and, nope... not interested in it.

If it's such a concern of yours, I assume you could go over to the Smith Center and the Jones Center and ask them directly. Just because you haven't read anything about it doesn't mean it isn't the same, or better.

[bennyl08]

I hope the program doesn't turn around and start regressing. I hope it keeps going in the current direction which is forward.

He won't stay long unless he does turn this around or if shows he is incapable of continuing the forward progress.

Juven is something you can buy from walgreen and is just a specific brand. You were provided numerous links showing how each player has a personalized protein shake (which is what a juven shot basically is, though it was designed for cancer patients to prevent lean muscle loss and clinical studies on it have yielded mixed results. You are adamant that we use a product that is available at walgreens that isn't clinically proven to work, and is just the name of a specific brand. It would be like asking if we use gatorade when there are much better electrolyte replenishing drinks out there) depending on their individual nutritional needs. There is an entire nutrition shake bar for the players.

Yeah....we are right up there with bama... they got nothing on us, just some Walgreens bs

Ok- now lets go show it. We are only a few secret assistant coaches and a pbj away from winning the SEC

It sounds to me like your thought process goes something like this... "Bama is winning championships. We should be wearing the same color socks, the same brand of underwear and listening to the same music as them if we are serious about competing with them".

Did it ever occur to you that we may actually be doing some things on an equal level with them? Losing to them does not mean everything they do is better than us. Lack of evidence is proof of nothing.

Sounds like CBB has the same thought process....scary. He joined the SEC, switched to more of a balanced offense (like Saban), now has hired an old Saban film room guy and switched to the bama defense.

Why not go ahead and follow nute program

CBB is learning on the fly by watching how Saban does it. Hell, he compared his record to Saban when he got hired...havent heard that bravado lately!

I'm sorry, I didn't know we were asking questions directed at us.........

[HamSammich]

Hell 9!?! If Bret wins 8 next year I'll be posting he needs an extension. The schedule is much harder next year. And to be honest with the fans mentality I really do think Bret is the best arkansas can do. When the philosophy changes and desire to achieve more than mediocrity change at the top in the program and with the fans then I will support that too.



Right now I am in a wait, watch, and chuckle mode.

Well, that first group only won 3 games, you do the math.

[hogcard1964]

Not as schools.  And it's not very close. 

Are you talking strictly the academics related to sports?

Ya, #1 in the SEC for the academic honor roll for 2016.

So the answer is no coaching consistency- how does that affect our progress?

So, you were in favor of keeping him? Hell, Bama will have their 3rd OC in the games, lol.

[Deep Shoat]

3rd D-coordinator in year 5 is not ideal.

It is if the last two failed and or bailed.

Ash didn't like the difficulty of getting studs to Arkansas.  He gone.

Smith went into a shell after getting burnt by running QB's a couple of times.  The whole D suffered for it.  He gone.

CPR is the guy.  He has an excellent track record as a DC.  We'll see if he can right the ship. 

We certainly know he can't do any worse.
