Good Times.

also a good reminder of how pathetic some in our fanbase can be.  Had friends of mine laughing at me and our Hog fans when that went down... it's one thing to be unhappy with the coach, team performance, etc. but it's another to embarrass the players and majority of fans with this crap.

and being about dead last in the SEC in 2 out of 5 years doesn't make anyone laugh at us.

Meh.

Make any self respecting program spend ten years in mediocrity and they'd do the same or worse. Hell, we stole the idea from Florida. I remember the thread title on HV asking for banner donations - it read: "Let's Zook Nutt!"

Totally agree. Don't like the coach, be unhappy with the record, etc., however, remember these kids are not being paid and still have to try to go out and compete for their university. While in frustration it's hard to separate the two, one still has to be able to do it.

BTW I'm still going to root for the Hogs as hard as I can. I'm also going to hope they're able to somehow bring us home a victory because as I've stated many times in the past it's ultimately THEIR success I'm rooting for. As far as the HC I have no personal feelings one way or another.

For the record, I root for a Hog victory 100% no matter what. Regardless that I want Bert gone, I would don't cheer against him or our program.

I'm confused Delta - what should happen to Long and CBB?

[jgphillips3]

Let's remember where we got the banner idea.  That's right, the fire Zook movement at Florida.  We would generally regard them as an upper level program...correct?  It's not like we got the idea from Bowling Green.  Also, when the heads of the program are too damn rich and drunk on power and SEC money, sometimes making a scene is the only voice the powerless have.  Bravo Reaganite and the banners.  If Long sticks with CBB, bring them back.

Hello, History Revisionist.
Without those banners and other heat, King Clown remains coach.   By now, possibly AD with Frank's endorsement.

Cry like a 9 y/o girl all you want.  The measures taken was cutting off two limbs to save the patient.

[Tusks]

The banner says 0-2 in the SEC.  My how times have changed.  Now it would say 0-4.  Fans are slipping.

[Tusks]

How about if he loses to OMU we fly a banner for Costal Carolina with 0-5 in the SEC on it?

[HotlantaHog]

No banners please! Save them for a coach that has serious ethical issues and embarrasses the university.

Not a CBB fan, just don't see any reason to humiliate him. It won't make a difference.

[LJHOG]

the Darksider War ...... many a pumper was banned in them days .......

How about a 'Jeff Long do your job' banner

[Torqued pork]

The Mizzou game would be the appropriate time for a banner. It will be the 1 year anniversary of the game that awakened the darksider in all of us.

[hassettsportsman]

What will the attendance be?  How many empty seats?

[Tusks]

Yeah there's no use in flying a banner if there's no fans to see it.

That's why I think Costal is the game to do it if they lose to OMU.

It's coming.

If Bert is brought back for another season the banners will fly.

It's coming.

Go ahead and drop that mic

[DeltaBoy]

They both need to go away but the general consensus is they are not so it time to line up the heavy artillery.

[DeltaBoy]

Don't forget the full page ad in the Paper either.

Thank you, You're on the money!

[East Clintwood]

I thought about that but will anybody see it?

I think I only know 2 people that read the paper anymore.

Money is probably better spent on banners and billboards.

Question? How do you let the powers be know that you are unhappy with the product and the direction of the program? If you stop going and buying gear then "your not a real fan" and you don't support the student athletes. So if you continue to go and buy gear (which I do, in the military and love to let people know I'm from Arkansas) aren't you supporting mediocrity? Last question..... If he keeps up grade point average, but loses every game (including Coastal Carolina), has several players transferring, and loses the team's respect would you still support the team/ which in turn supports mediocrity by keeping the coach who "throws players under the bus".

I much prefer newspaper ads.... Newspapers do a public service and they really need the advertising!

Be patient...  all things are cyclical (you should know this)

News flash...your friends are probably still laughing and our players and fans should already be embarrassed.

[Cylinder]

You can't effectively fly banners anymore since stadiums with cap > 30,000 are TFRed under 3000 feet AGL for 3 miles during NCAA  Div-1 football games.

Agreed.

Right.

It won't happen in your lifetime but maybe you grandkids will see change.

What about the way HE is currently humiliating the Razorback football program?? Does that make a difference??

[DLUXHOG]

Right.

Actually it has happened several times in my life... <Frank Broyles it was dismal (I wasn't born yet so guess it's irrelevant)...  1964 National Championship (I was a toddler, so I guess you can say it was irrelevant, 1976 Lou Holtz years and we seriously sniffed a  NC after seriously stomping a mudhole in OU in the Orange Bowl...  Hatfield years, still on top...   Nutt years - also rans.    Petrino years, back on top...   Bielema years, jury is still out....e

[East Clintwood]

This negates anything else you might have said.

There should be a picture of it somewhere here on the Ville.
And your right Newspaper readership is way down from back then.

So you skipped Danny Ford who had 5 years here.  Which is what Bert is approaching.  If you take into consideration that DF played 11 game schedules and BB has 12 game schedules with an FCS patsy added, their records are and trends are very similar.  DF peaked in year 3 with 8 wins.  BB peaked in year 3 with 8 wins.  Year 4 for BB wasn't quite as bad as Danny's year 4, but year 5 is right on track to match DF year 5.  The jury may still be out but they are deliberating and if BB finished 5-7 then that's every bit as bad as DF's 4-7 in year 5.

however, remember these kids are not being paid...

Yes, they are.

It worked, didn't it?

Only the literate ones would see it.....

[hawgdeere48]

We have to remember that these are still kids and they are still very easily influenced! We don't want them to take it personally effect their performance on the field and in the classroom. Same goes for the recruits. Stay supportive and of good character, lets not stoop to that level.

[hogfan870]

Yeah - the thing that struck me about the OP was that it was only 0-2.  We are already 0-3, and "after the Auburn loss" (which looks probable) we will be 0-4; now that is an ugly banner.

Here's an idea: go ahead and stay with original 0-2 banner, however, just a +"1" at the end after each subsequent loss. Means the same without having to scrap the original to start all over.
