This is generally a good rule.

Sheep.

Fantastic comparison. You made my point brilliantly.

It's so early that a loss like that on the road really means nothing. Good teams can still get blown out on the road, especially EARLY in a season.

I don't know what your point is then. Yes good teams still sometimes get blown out on the road, but so do bad teams. So what's your point again? If your point is that this loss proves nothing, then we agree. If you think we are one of those good teams who laid an egg on the road, then I say there's not enough evidence to say this is indeed a good team.

Even though the Cyclones jumped out on us early,  no one on the court was laying down and having a good bleed. We will be fine.

I have seen enough to know that this is a good team. This season will reflect it.

Teams should not be peaking right now so bad losses at this point in the season are pretty non sequitur.

I do understand and agree with you that this team has yet to PROVE they are good though. :razorback:

Amen to this.

I sure look forward to the day when I can come on jump ball and not have to sift through all the bullcrap. If you cant see we are a team on the rise maybe you need glasses.

And I'll be glad when I can come on Jump Vall to discuss what actually happened in a game without some jack hole pissing on my shoes while trying to convince me it's raining.

I support Mike and the Hogs.  I'm glad he is our coach.  But I consistently see the same issues.  Issues I don't like.

I shouldn't have to have smoke blown up my ass to post in JB.

I don't recall trying to convince anyone that it was raining. What I was talking about were the people who post the same crap in every thread regardless of what it was originally about. It's one thing to vent I get that. I vent by sparking up but to each their own. I was simply pointing out that this is a RAZORBACK BASKETBALL MESSAGE BOARD, and I think it's kind of strange in almost every thread 25% of the post are negative repetitive useless nonsense. Venting is one thing, arguing cause it get's you off is another. I personally come here to read about the Razorback's, have for 10-12 years. I rarely post because of exactly what I said above. There are many insightful smart people who post on this board but their are also quite a few of the above described people. I will continue to read and not post. Maybe in 2-3 years when we win a National Championship I can come back and post again without arguing, til then stay in peace and good luck to all my Hog brethren.

I thought if we played great we'd only lose by 10.

Exactly!! Anyone that knows anything about ISU, their style, their personnel, had to know this game would be the perfect storm for the Hogs. I thought our only hope was to come out with a changed philosophy and play straight up man which wasn't going to happen. If you try to trap ISU and they are on, you are going to get blown out. They were on, their crowd was rabid and I actually thought we played well cutting into the lead a couple of times. Zero shame in that loss, you look at the early season humbling as a positive and move forward.

Road favorite got "upset". It happens quite a bit in college hoops.

It can't happen to a team like us that already can't win on the road in a league where road wins are so rare. In March we'll look back on the season, see probably 4 or 5 road wins, and the selection committee will point out an early December loss to a bad Clemson team. The committee doesn't value home wins much, so if you don't win all your home games, then you're in trouble, because road wins will be few and far between. The key to winning on the road in the SEC is not experience or any of that crap; it's being head and shoulders better than the home team, and I don't think we're quite that good. I'm still not worried about a tournament berth, but losses like this can bump you down a seed or two.

Gotta love Bobby.  Dude is a winner.  One thing I wish he would do though, is start getting in some guys faces during the timeouts when they don't give him a touch every time down the court.

You didn't see him in the Iona game get up in Alandise Harris face. He screamed at him "Come on man!" so loud you could hear it on the tv.

I watched him mouth "finish" to Qualls up 6 with a minute left. He should have said it to his coach instead.

Their half court trap caused us to shat ourselves.  That, and their blatant inability to stick their ass between their man and the basket.  If we would take all that energy we use trying to steal the ball and direct it towards getting a rebound on both ends of the floor, we would get the ball many more times and ALWAYS will be in a better defensive position.

The problem is many "fans" are basically plantation owner wannabes.  They think they own the program, and the players/coaches are just part of the program.

College sports is just another cotton field to many of these jackholes.

Let's bring out the race card....it's not used enough.

His tweet should've read I'm getting schooled on defense and I'm the softest big man that has played at Arkansas but I'm going to work my tail off to fix it!

I've read nearly all of Bobby Portis NBA scouting reports and never seen him associated with the word soft.  Hard worker, High Motor, Energy, High IQ, those are the common words associated with his game play.  Bobby Portis was the absolute last reason reason we lost this game, his second half play was the sole reason we were in the lead in the second half.  If anything we lost because our guards failed to continuously feed him the ball, had they done that we probably would have won by double digits.

I respect you for putting yourself on that island haha, but i don't think he's the softest big man to ever play here. I'm glad he didnt' try to put on 60 lbs in his first season and flame out, like what happened to Mickelson.

Qualls too. When maddens in the game, he stops feeding bobby and mike. if you pay attention, bobby and mike tend to share the rock with each other the most. think there might be a bit of jealous on the team.
