Mark May and Lou said we couldn't hold on to it....Hope our team saw this

[PHill94]

That would be Mark May and damn that was fast!

[Sonofahog]

Yep.  They said it.  Lou is usually wrong so that looks good for us!

[hogfan@heart]

Houston better have this on tape and play it every day for our players. No respect.

[Razorbacks#1]

Good motivator for the coaches and team. Go Hogs!

[Beaverfever]

They also said South Carolina had a legitimate chance at winnin the east...seriously WTH?

[Since 1894]

Go Hogs

[UADrummer]

I wonder if HDN just calls these guys to tell them to not give us any credit, it really is a great motivational tool, but really, things like this are something that keeps this team fighting, I say let us shock the world and WPS!!

[BigoBoys]

Lou predicted we would be USC too!

[The_Bionic_Pig]

Thank you!!!  The last thing we need is for our players to start relaxing and to start believing their own hype.   I FREAKING LOVE IT

[wincrimson]

Lou Holth sucketh penith.

[threeNout]

good news, pin it on the BB

[duckcmmndr]

We should be used to not getting any respect.  I hope the team gets a chance to see it.

[Earl]

I think this should help us.  We are going to win the
West IMO.

[deputyave]

We may loose one of our SEC games but I don't think we will loose 2 of them and we hold the tie breaker with Auburn so we win the west. Then we beat Florida for our first SEC championship. Go Hogs

[Immensehog]

When did Lou jump off our wagon?

He's been slurping us up all year.

[hogstuff]

Lou has probably already forgotten what he just said.

[hogchic2001]

What else is new....they need to play it in every practice for the rest of the season.  GO HOGS!

[riccoar]

Lou Holth sucketh penith.

You guys better handle Tubby in the Iron Bowl, PLEASE!?

[HognotinMemphis]

He's correct. Hogs will not win out against SC, TN and LSU. They'll lose two of those and Auburn won't lose again. Auburn at 7-1 and Hogs at 6-2 or 5-3.

[wolf24]

Sounds like Lou knows what he talking about, no way we beat Tenn and LSU, face the facts.  The Cotton bowl sounds like where the HOGS will be playing.

[scarolinahog]

Oh ye of little faith

[RazorbackNutt]

we don't have to beat them both do we?  we just have to win 3 out of the 4 conference games left, right?

[Realee]

Must not have seen the Auburn game.  You should of watched it, it was a great game and oh yeah we no chance of winning that one either.

[DC]

Auburn still plays Alabama and I am not as convinced as everyone else that they have that one in the bag!

[Hawgvillain]

we don't have to beat them both do we?  we just have to win 3 out of the 4 conference games left, right?

yep

[PigPusher]

Its just an opinion and that is not the deciding factor. It gets decided on the field.  Lots of opinions have been proved wrong this year.  We should expect that trend to continue.

[hogfan47]

 what say we let the hogs play usc east then go from there.

[ArmyHogfan1981]

beat South Carolina and lets see how everything else unfolds

[An old hog fanatic]

beat South Carolina and lets see how everything else unfolds

That's the ticket.  If the team stays focused and just looks at the one game ahead, they just might pull this off.  But I've had my hopes up so many other times just to have the team rip out my heart and stomp that sucker flat!

[hawg23]

marky may and the funky bunch didnt pick us??? good.... they are wrong A LOT

[Tomhog™]

This team has focus like I haven't seen in years.  I truly believe they are on a mission to win the West outright and not just get to a bowl.  Statments like Lou's probably irritates our competition as they know it will be used as additional motivation.  The Hogs are hungry this year, and I don't believe anyone but Tinner could stop them...

[Conway Cool Daddy]

Lou has been picking us all year. I don't know why he jumped ship.
Mark May may be the worst analyst on TV.

Auburn still has Ga and Bama left. They could lose either of those games. Also they still have to take care of business against Ole Miss.

If Arkansas goes into Sc and wins then a lot of people will start changing their tunes.

[HedgeDweller]

we don't have to beat them both do we?  we just have to win 3 out of the 4 conference games left, right?

Correct, we must win 3 out of 4 - then even if Auburn won out, we would have the tie breaker over them since we beat them head to head.  To win outright, we need to win them all most likely though.  Unless Auburn loses again.
One thing Lou probably didn't mention was that who wins the West is up to us.  Not Auburn.  Not Lou.  Not Mark.

[hardcorehogfan]

guys we cant bash them for saying that.  they are going off of previous years.  to be the best we have to beat the best.  until we do that consistently we will get picked to lose.  i am very pleased with where we are right now but truthly, the only team that we have beat that is currently in the top 25 is Aurburn.  i am not saying that we will not beat USC, Tenn, or LSU, just saying that is why guys like Lou and May will pick against us.

[Hog Fan 51]

Hey guys if you don't think we even have a shot at winning out, then why do you even bother to post here, or cheer for the hogs? I think we will probably go  2 for 3 vs SC,TN,&LSU, but I still think we have a shot at winning out, or I would just stop watching football, and just be a track fan from here on out.

[ComeonHogs!!!]

If you look at Aurburn's remaining scheduled and then look at ark. picking ark to slip up is not far fetched. I am just happy we get to play the games. WPS we win 3 of 4 and go to the sec championship.

[hogfan13]

Like y'all said. I really Hope Nutt and the team Saw what he said. That should get them pumped and ready for next week. Cause if we win next week. Were Guaranteed a Trip to Atlanta

[HognotinMemphis]

Will Spurrier quit in a hissy fit, after calling out all his assistants to answer questions in the post game interviews, when he loses back to back home games over the next two Saturdays?

[STRILE]

Lou's doing us a big favor, not sure whether it's intentional or not but he is motivating our guys. 

[davis01]

Let's just take this one game at a time and enjoy the victories.  ULM this weekend.  Let's focus, and win big.  Then we can talk Spurrier and USC.

[4thdownnutt]

I don't get upset what other people say  they gotta say something.  This will all take care of itself in about a month.  Lets just worry when we play.

[gopigsgo]

No,No,No we MUST win all the games remaining in this season, this is Pauls season and there already has been and will be further divine intervention. One Hog nation will turn the corner this year baby and never look back!

Now which one is it HIM?  One post you say we will not win and the next Spurrior will lose two in a row.

[Tusks]

If the Hogs win the West they will break all sorts of records and HDN records.  I live in Atlanta and I still haven't made parking reservations.  There's a LOT of football to be played and history says the Hogs won't make it but that's why they play.

This game will go to several OT's.

[clew]

Y'all.  If we win the next two conference games, the rest of the teams can mail it in because we'll win all of them.  The season set up perfectly for a young team that needed some games under their belt before the meat of the season.  We're going to atlanta.

[bigredone]

What in HDN's past would make an outsider think the Hogs will win out? I, being a darksider, think they should. All the 'straps think things are too tough in AR for anyone to believe that we should win consistently. Holtz has just joined the jockstraps with those comments.

[LZH]

If Lou is not a drinker, he's missing a great opportunity.  He would be a hilarious drunk (he kinda acts like one most of the time anyway.)
