Experts say Arkansas 6-6 You agree ?

[Terryproy]

Do y'all agree with the 6-6 prediction ? I'm realistically saying 8-4.

[ricepig]

What experts? Most numbers from Vegas have us in the 7-7.5 range. My way too early prediction has been 8-4. I always reserve the right to change it depending on summer workouts/problems, August camp/injuries, and how our opponents handle the previous, too.

[Atlhogfan1]

What expert?

No.  We'll be close to 10-2/4-8 and end up with 7-8 wins.  Life in the SECW right now with a competitive but building program.

So called experts in the SEC

I think you left out two very realistic possibilities in your poll (7-5 or 8-4).  I would say we hit one of those numbers.

Fair enough

[gmarv]

9-3 (or better) our defense is gonna be back to 2014  form and our offense will be better than most think.

[hogblitz]

It better not be.  This is year 4.  No excuses.  We lost some starters but everyone does. This is Bielema's program now with 4 years of his recruits in it.  If you are running your program right you prepare for everything.   I do not lower my expectations.  BP had 10 wins in 2010 and 11 wins in 2011.  Although, I realize some try to act like that success never happened. 

[hogblitz]

It's amazing to me that the fan base has returned to expectations like that of the Nutt years.  BP proved that you can win and win big at Arkansas.

Well, I read it, I failed to find out who the "experts" were, but everyone has a take on the season.

Bleacherreport? Might as well have asked my two year old granddaughter...............would have given you just as good a guess as them.

Haha

[Wildhog]

We should be better than that, but we'll probably underachieve again.

People like you need to stop expecting whoever our coach is have 10 and 11 wins in his third and fourth year just because Scumbag Petrino did.

[ricepig]

We should be better than that, but we'll underachieve again.

Why do you think this?

[Wildhog]

Why do you think this?

Just a feeling.  Could be indigestion.

[razorbackfan4life]

I see 7-8 wins.  It all depends on QB and OL play. 

[ricepig]

Just a feeling.  Could be indigestion.

Ok, I just don't see us losing 5-6 conference games, I could be wrong.

[Wildhog]

Ok, I just don't see us losing 5-6 conference games, I could be wrong.

I actually have us at 7-5 this season.  Lose to TCU and go 4-4 in conference play.

[ricepig]

I can see that, just ready to watch us and to start complaining about those complaining!

[BornaHog]

  For the ones that are being pessimistic, go listen to HH at this link where he was talking to Paul Finebaum. Nothing like hearing it from someone who was there every day!   http://www.secsports.com/video/16208956/bielema-lessons-transcend-college     I personally believe we "could"  end up 12-0 in the regular season.

  Austin has out performed Brandon at every level he has played and normally he has done it in less time. I am looking forward to the season and really hope that the O can catch up to the D by the fourth game and if it does, Katy bar the doors because the HOGS could have one of those special years!!!   

  Am I saying they will be 12-0    NO,      do I hope they will be 12-0, Absolutely!  Realistically, I hoping 9-3 or 10-2 mainly because TCU is just the second game and it is going to be tight if the O doesn't gel in preseason.  But if, and this is a big, if the D is as good as it looked in the spring, and with the addition of some of the new players, they could be in the top 10 D's in the nation. They will shut down some really good offenses and hopefully TCU will be the first!

  HH believes they are going to be really good and hopefully, since he was there every day, he knows a whole lot more than any of us. Well, there are a couple on here now that do have family on the team and hopefully they will set some of the nay sayers in their place when they start this year.  Good luck to the HOGS!!!   WPS    :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:   GHG

Thats ridiculous... If one man can do it... another can. I expect BB to WIN. And WIN NOW. Has absolutely nothing to do with petrino. If Jesus was our coach Id expect 10 wins year four or id want him fired. Nothing to do with petrino. Has everything to do with wanting to win and have the team I love on top.


I like CBB... I like his style. I like almost everything about his tenure (I question the assistant turnover) and I expect what he is doing will work. But people like you need to understand some other people are winners and expect to root for winners. There is no room for mediocrity for me.

[SpaCityHawg]

Do y'all agree with the 6-6 prediction ? I'm realistically saying 8-4.

So you set up a  poll , and then you don't choose one of your options? Interesting, it is June so l'll go with Frito pie.

[go hogues]

We'll be very lucky to notch six wins. Way too many questions and a brutal schedule.

[Inhogswetrust]

The last time I checked ALL teams in the SEC west have a brutal schedule and some questions.........................

[bennyl08]

You say 8-4 but don't even list that as an option???

[Biggus Piggus]

I think you left out two very realistic possibilities in your poll (7-5 or 8-4).  I would say we hit one of those numbers.

Bad poll. Very poorly constructed. To have a 5-7 option in there without any of the most likely choices is stupid.

Terry, are you associated with another commercial website?

[The_Hog_Father]

What is wrong with some of you clowns? This is Uncle Terry... Try to pull your heads out of your collective asses and kick some else's dog. This is Devwah's Awesome franking Uncle that you are treating like trash. Wake. Up.

[ricepig]

Y'all are real hard on Uncle Terry.........

[moto625]

6/6 sounds about right WPS

[Pork Ranger]

7-5

Is what it is but we just lost too much to do better than that.

[hogcard1964]

More of the same

8 wins

...However, I think the SEC West overall will take a bit of a step back and we finish 3rd.

[moses_007]

We'll be very lucky to notch six wins. Way too many questions and a brutal schedule.

I agree.  Green quarterbacks and extremely green running backs don't add up to success in the win column.

[3Scoreand10]

Well this old expert does not see but 3 teams that may be better than the Hogs as of today.
But a lot can change between now and the day after Thanksgiving.

[TheRazorback500]

I'll stay optimistic for now. 7-5.   Woopig.

:razorback:

[lahawg1]

FWIW I have us going 6-6 to 9-3, all depends on breaks we get or give up.

[Terryproy]

I see some guys take a poll and life very seriously. It's just a poll which offers you a choice, either answer it or keep on scrolling . For you guys who just answered it, thanks. My prediction is 8-4.

[AirForceHog]

I voted 6-6. I am expecting a better record than that however, don't want to jinx it.

[HiggiePiggy]

I'm looking at 8-4. I could see 10-2 looking at some of the teams we face if things go our way. 

Alabama is the only team I really can't see us beating until it happens.

[bphi11ips]

Hogs are due.  10-2.

[hawginbigd1]

I view their optimistic, as being our realistic, and 11-1 being optimistic, and lastly 7-5 being pessimistic. :razorback:

[SultanofSwine]

Hopeful of 2 things, we stay healthy this year and steamroll game one on the OL. If the line gets going early and takes pressure off of Austin to have to carry the offense then 9 or 10 wins might be out of the question at all.

[PorkRinds]

Thats ridiculous... If one man can do it... another can. I expect BB to WIN. And WIN NOW. Has absolutely nothing to do with petrino. If Jesus was our coach Id expect 10 wins year four or id want him fired. Nothing to do with petrino. Has everything to do with wanting to win and have the team I love on top.

Ten wins in year four or fired huh? Good luck getting any coach worth a crap to agree to that.

Didn't say they didn't.

But we have more than all but maybe MSU.

From the list below, name me more than five sure wins? I think we beat LTU, TS, ALCORN, MSU, MIZZOU. If we get a sixth, I say the it's either TCU or Auburn.

LTU
@TCU
TS
@A$M
ALCORN
ALABAMA
OLE PISS
@AUBURN
FLORIDA
LSU
@MSU
@MIZZOU

[PORKULATOR]

It's high time we have a few GREAT YEARS.
9-3
hell maybe even 11-1.

[HiggiePiggy]

@MIZZOU

Sure wins? 
LTU, TS, and Alcorn

Above 50% chance?
Texas A&M, Auburn, and Missouri

50% chance?
TCU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, LSU, and Florida

Less than 50% chance?
Alabama

So 8-4 9-3 is what I see.  So I am expecting for this year to be no less than 7 wins. 

[rzrbackramsfan]

I WANT us to go undefeated and win the national championship so bad that I think it might actually happen.

[jgphillips3]

I feel 8-4, 7-5 at worst.  Therefore, can't choose a poll option.
