They keep this up and SOME day we will spoil that homecoming.

[Poker_hog]

Is homecoming even a big deal for the players?  To me sr day is a bigger distraction.  Players are out of their pregame routine.

Good point.  It's not like high school were (at some places) the players escort the girls on the field. 

Maybe we could talk Bama into doing that though.  We will need all the help we can get.

Oh, it's just the stigma that comes with being someone's homecoming opponent, you know, get ready for the party! I wasn't implying anything about their players, more to their administration.

[McKdaddy]

Sounds about right.

[cosmodrum]

I guess Northeast West Central Normal Polytechnical Leprosy Institute had a scheduling conflict.

[Vantage 8 dude]

How come I'm totally NOT surprised at this. Yep, obviously 'Bama figures it's particularly important to send all the alums home with a victory.

[Tejano Jawg]

Good. Ruining their homecoming will make it even sweeter.  :razorback:

[(notOM)Rebel123]

If Bama wants Homecoming in October, it's either the Hogs on the 14th or Tennessee on the 21st. They have LSU on Nov. 4. FWIW

[rhames]

This just happens now with tv schedules and traditions. Would not think anything of it.

[HiggiePiggy]

We should wear black this year against them.

Must be why we picked Coastal Carolina.....

[(notOM)Rebel123]

Must be why we picked Coastal Carolina.....

Guess we could have gone with Auburn since it's our only home game in October.

[rhames]

Must be why we picked Coastal Carolina.....

And 4 years ago it was South Carolina.......I like to pretend that game didn't happen.

[ricepig]

Yeah, we don't always choose well. Last year it was OM, I realize it's scheduling and marketing these days, I just don't like being theirs.

[Gladstonesmoans]

I bet our players will be so upset that we will destroy those dudes!

[TDHawgs]

Why wouldn't we be.. hate to say it, but when was the last time we beat Alabama anyway?  Too long ago I can't even remember when it was. 

[HamSammich]

I'll go on record now and say we will beat Bama this year as well.

[rhames]

2006.

[HamSammich]

We are going to beat em guys. I think we still win 7 games even but Bama is one of them.

[PORKULATOR]

Well fine, let's ruin that shatty.  Stick it in their craw.

[Sed76]

If we somehow managed to beat them at their place can you imagine the meltdown on the Pete Finebaum show the following week.

[ZERO]

It's been an embarrassingly long time, but don't act like '06 was a lifetime ago.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

How old are you? Might be a long wait.

[HogimusMaximus]

We are going to lose by a lot.

[Boss Hog in the Arkansas]

It kinda was. I've graduated from high school, finished college, got married and had a kid....all since we beat bama last

[(notOM)Rebel123]

You could do that in a year or two....unless you meant you graduated from college.

FOLKS.

Arkansas: 10-0 (1.000)
Mississippi State: 9-1 (.900)
Ole Miss: 8-2 (.800)
Texas A&M: 4-1 (.800)
LSU: 8-3 (.727)
Auburn: 7-3 (.700)

Saban has made the SEC west his b*tch. I would say that when you look at Alabama's schedule, us and Tennessee are the only home games in October. They aren't going to schedule a rivalry game for HC, so we're it.

Chill out. Jeez.

[TUSKtimes]

Frankly, I wish we were playing 10essee for HC. They wanted to play us twice last season and I truly regret they couldn't beat Vandy to get that done.

And Tennessee and Florida from the East
Tennessee: 10-0
Florida: 5-1

[hogcard1964]

You can't blame them.  Aside from Fresno St and possibly Colorado St. we're the easiest Div 1 game on their home schedule.

I just rolled my eyes so hard that I saw my brain lol

That's a busy a$$ 2 years lol

[LRRandy]

no, they are on bama's schedule. Second to last game of the year. The week before they play Auburn.

[Calling All Hogs]

In before someone gives the annual prediction that we will be undefeated going into Bama and GameDay will be at Bama to cover this game where we finally break Bama's winning streak.

ah yes, just like the swallows returning to Capistrano, the annual prediction of a Gameday appearance for a Bama beat down. The fabric of life is woven with such traditions.

Comforting to see you're your usual cheerful, upbeat and optimistic self. What a true ray of sunshine you truly are. 

[code red]

0 for Saban ....and none of em were really close.

[code red]

OK...kinda like last year??

That is just sad.  Everyone in the West has beat bama with Saban at the helm other than us.

Good!

[gchamblee]

statistically speaking, this just means we are due

[CabotHog87]

So I guess you could now replace Auburn with us and The Bear with Saban in the "You Don't Know Bo" 30 for 30...

"Arkansas hasn't beaten Alabama in 10 years, and they never will..."

I think we will have a good shot if our offense is clicking and our defense shows us something. The offense proved it could move the ball last year and with a year of experience under Austin's belt, I think we could do it. In my opinion it boils down to the defense and special teams for us.

[colbs]

Should have taken advantage of Saban's first year at Bama like MSU, Auburn, and LSU did.

[Pigsknuckles]

Going to be real hard to put that out of my mind when I write out my donation, and season ticket check.

[Letsroll1200]

Just shows we are on the level of Vandy and Kentucky in football.

[gchamblee]

Information is critical to intelligent conversation. If you look at their schedule, they only had 2 games to choose from. Us, or a rivalry. We really were their only option. You can try to spin that into the drama of us being an fcs opponent, but it fails once someone actually looks a little deeper than your emotional collapse.

[TUSKtimes]

0 for Saban ....and none of em were really close.

Not how I remember it. 2010 was close enough with Mallet and company. And of course, 2014, when we looked like we forgot you guys were on our schedule. 14 to 13 is pretty close.

Heh, those were some good games. We had our opportunities to slay the beast but we just couldn't get that killing blow to hit the mark. Code Red amplifies the bad and diminishes the good when it comes to razorback football. It is his way of rebelling against CBB being our coach.
