Meanwhile, Louisville

[LRrazorback]

Petrino making typical Petrino adjustments and moving the ball on this Clemson blitz. Beautiful!

[Hawgphish]

loved that third and 2 call....he does have stones.

[hogfanmd]

Bobby P....on ABC.....makes it look as easy as 1,2,3. 

[hogcard1964]

I don't like either team.

[BigSexyHog]

Big Louisville fan tonight.   Hope they destroy Clemson

[dhizzle]

So did he just not like defense when he was at Arkansas or is Charlies defensive players pretty good?

[farmhawg]

Why start this crap again?

[hogpc]

I like their QB, would like to see them beat Clemson.

[RazorPiggie]

Honestly, who gives a sh*t? He's a POS and isn't the coach here.

Look at our defense now. It's about the same against decent teams! Swiss cheese.

[hogcard1964]

Why start this crap again?

1) We made a mistake
2) He's not coming back
3) Move along

[Rison Razor Hog]

FIFY, you're welcome!

[hogcard1964]

FIFY, you're welcome!

That as well.

[hogfanmd]

It's pretty amazing how fast the college football world has forgotten the dumpster fire he left in NW Arkansas.   
We are definitely in a "winning cures everything" society.

[Pig in the Pokey]

Honestly, who gives a sh*t? He's a POS and isn't the coach here.

who gives a sh;t about a top 5 matchup in primetime?? ALL REAL FOOTBALL FANS, MAN!!

[colbs]

Go Clemson!

[Smokehouse]

Ding ding ding.

Clemson's offense has looked out of sorts most of the season too. Weird considering all the consistency they have from last season. Maybe a championship loss hangover impacted their offseason preparation.

[Gonzo]

His defenses improved in pts allowed every year and in yards allowed 3 out of 4 years at Arkansas. The "BP doesn't like/play/care for defense" diatribe is just noise, plenty of that on both side of the argument. Helluva coach, very fallible person, nothing but history as far as the Arkansas program goes. Hopefully BB or any Hog HC has them back to similar, or greater, success soon.


Go Hogs! Beat Bama!

[hogfanmd]

Winning has cured everything since there was winning and losing.

Very true. 

[12247]

Petrino didn't have the defense he has today when he coached for us.  He may have learned to stop the ego crap and recruit or he likely has a budget better than he had when he coached for us. 

I could see the Clemson defense sitting that up by cheating down for the run.  Petrino will make you pay.  Best college playcaller I ever saw, hands down.

[hogfanmd]

Why start this crap again?

We are arkansas fans. We live for this.    I'm surprised I haven't seen a "we should have hired jimmy Johnson" post lately. Bobby p let us move on from that one. 

[Atlhogfan1]

TD CLEMSON!

Meanwhile pb is still a dorkhead.

Also best game manager. I don't ever remember discussing clock management decisions or play calling when he was coach, because he was right most of the time.

Plus I have not heard one sportscaster mention his personal past. A lot of talk about his coaching, though.

[Atlhogfan1]

TD CLEMSON!

[Atlhogfan1]

[XavierZane]

This game is spinning out of control for Louisville.  Something BP knows well.

How is that working out now for Coach easy rider?

[Atlhogfan1]

TD CLEMSON!

Louisville with 10pts, 8 penalties and 304 yards given up

[wachhog]

Big Louisville fan tonight.   Hope they destroy Clemson

Me, too. A genius coach is a thing of beauty. Dabo isn't half bad either. Funny that I have not heard one of the sportscasters mention how foolish Louisville was to hire him back. Have heard nothing about all the disgrace he has brought to the school, how all the high school coaches won't let him on campus, how some bowl won't ever let his team darken their stadium. Funny how that works.

[wachhog]

Honestly, who gives a sh*t? He's a POS and isn't the coach here.

Come on, Cards.
Have told you lately that you belong in a hog sty? I can smell you from the east coast.

[wachhog]

Think Bobby could give Brett lessons on how to build an offensive line?

[Dr. Starcs]

That oline has given up 5 or 6 sacks tonight.

[Dr. Starcs]

And auburn nearly beat them.

[Dr. Starcs]

5 turnovers, you don't deserve to win and probably don't deserve a #5 ranking.

[The Boar War]

Oh it was around.  Every time we lost MMQB would be filled with threads about how we can't run the ball, we can't play defense, or we don't belong in the SEC.

[Atlhogfan1]

Petrino now 5-13 vs top 10 teams(3-5 at UL)
Petrino 15-23 vs top 25 (5-11 at UL and 1-6 since he came back to UL)

[hoglady]

That Clemson crowd was amazing - better and louder than just about any SEC crowd.
I was shocked at the noise level.
I sure wouldn't want to play against them at their place in a game of that magnitude.
Tough place to play.

That stadium was like that in the 80s when Ford had it rolling.  They had the epic matchup with FSU in Death Valley back then.  Clemson has always been an SEC program in terms of football emphasis and support and home environment getting to play an ACC schedule.  They are like Auburn's twin IMO just NE of the Atl metro area vs SW like AU. 


Washington's home atmosphere is another good one to see return. 

[colbs]

Petrino now 5-13 vs top 10 teams(3-5 at UL)
Petrino 15-23 vs top 25 (5-11 at UL and 1-6 since he came back to UL)

0-11 on the road vs top 15 teams.  Great coach but some on here act like he us better than he is.  No doubt he is an offensive genius but there is more to being a great coach than calling offensive plays.

Petrino had us relevant in the grand scheme of college football - just like he has Louisville relevant this year.
Until Coach B has us relevant again fans will miss that.
It doesn't mean people approve of his actions or even think he shouldn't have been fired - it's just that for 2 years we were considered a player like we hadn't been since our SWC conference days.
Hopefully, Bielema will get us there again.

This.  I wish the SEC had done everything it could to convince Clemson to eventually join up rather than take Mizlol.

Missouri is not a good fit for the SEC.

[HiggiePiggy]

Yeah. They should probably be in the big 10.

[Inhogswetrust]

I doubt that SC, UT, UGA and even UF would have voted for them to get into the SEC. However that being said they would have made a great addition.
