Why is a backup WR who rarely sees the field tweeting smack? Just stupid

[Fayettechill14]

Haha he's not even from Texas. He's from Miami. I like that he's embracing the spirit of the rivalry, though.

Hopefully he gets a red zone target. I think we underutilize him in the red zone.

[Wildhog]

I love it.

[ifghog]

I love it! Go get em boy! I am not one who would shy away from "bulletin board material" who cares! WPS!!!

That writer is seriously trying to trash Edwards, lol!

Yeah.  He mad.

Hopefully he gets a red zone target. I think (know)we underutilize him in the red zone.

Had to alter it for you Fayettechill.

I agree......he's gonna be a goodun

Because he is a hog and proud. I love it. I hope he scores on them. Lol

Let your play do your talking.

[Atlhogfan1]

One young twitterer reporting what another young twitterer said. 

Check out Wescott :

https://twitter.com/sbn_wescott
"Doing it up for SBN Recruiting. Co-editor for Burnt Orange Nation. Former professional scout. "  Scouting what?


Have I said how stupid Twitter is?  Maybe it isn't.  The users...

[nchogg]

Coach will probably have a heart to heart about his tweet and he my even get to vist Herb a few extra mornings.

[opineonswine]

Probably shouldn't have done it, but I like it. 

[rickm1976]

I love the attitude, but he does need to keep his mouth shut - especially as a freshman benchwarmer.  Heck, they all need to keep their mouths shut, and speak respectfully of Texas when asked.  You never give the opposing team anything they can use to motivate themselves.  You let the score do your talking for you.  You tear them a new one, and then politely shake their hand at midfield after time runs out and say "good game" and act like it's no big deal - no surprise.  Nothing is more demoralizing for them, and satisfying for us.

[TheRazorbackGuy]

Probably shouldn't have done it, but I like it. 

Henre Tolliver responded to it saying they will get them. Uncommon men that's exactly what CBB said.

[RUN N GUN]

This team knows we are better than Texas. Coach B has built these guys into believing we can win any game we play.

[reddogjcss]

Trash talking has began

[TheRazorbackGuy]

Trash talking has began

Yeah, whose cares about those steer punks? Texass. 

[Danimal]

Let your play do your talking.

Yup.

[WooPig90]

Let your play do your talking.

This

[Amityvillehogger]

Won't matter when the game starts.

[RedyorNot]

After what CBB did concerning Collins and his Twitter, should be interesting to see how this is received

[Nuttcracker, Sweet!]

It's not a crime-but I would prefer to let sleeping dogs lie. Especially when it comes from a guy with 4 career catches and a single TD.

I would imagine that they would try to make something of BB saying we wanted to play them, also.


But did that LB and the writer not provide US with bulletin board material? Mighty white of the writer to make a big thing of our SEC record without noting it was the toughest schedule in the country and that mighty UT got steamrolled by BYU...

[deucea729]

LOL at the comments.

[COCHISE]

LOL at the comments.

yeah. I hope we can move the ball against their "elite D."

[TheRazorbackGuy]

yeah. I hope we can move the ball against their "elite D."

I believe we will and Edwards will score a TD and do the horns down sign to the Texas fans.

[Keyser Sooieze]

love how they trash us for "needing four nonconference games to get to 6 wins" when one of those wins was a thrashing of a member of their conference.  oh, how i've missed the delusional teasippers. 

[The_Bionic_Pig]

He's a confident teenager who's witnessed Arkansas lead 6 of 8 top 20 teams headed into the half. (Tied with Auburn)

[The Hogfather]

Love it!

[passinghog]

This board is way too conservative. Who cares what he says, just win baby

[hogwild210]

Wasn't their schedule pretty weak?

[Hoggish1]

The plan is to use him in the redzone.  The Texass players will all run to guard him 12 on 1 and BA will just waltz in untouched...    

[tophawg19]

I love the attitude, but he does need to keep his mouth shut - especially as a freshman benchwarmer.  Heck, they all need to keep their mouths shut, and speak respectfully of Texas when asked.  You never give the opposing team anything they can use to motivate themselves.  You let the score do your talking for you.  You tear them a new one, and then politely shake their hand at midfield after time runs out and say "good game" and act like it's no big deal - no surprise.  Nothing is more demoralizing for them, and satisfying for us.

stuff like this doesn't motivate them. they are already motivated or shouldn't be there . if it takes this type stuff then coaches aren't doing their jobs . this stuff is forgotten before they ever take the field

[Medic821]

I got two words for the texass shrt horns, #$%^ it.

[bigred223]

I'm sure Coach B is none too pleased about that. I like his confidence, but he should keep it to himself. However, we aren't scared, and we shouldn't be. We are a better football team than Texas. Now just go prove it on the field.

[Hogpkins]

Most of their comments are respectful of Arkansas. Sounds like more than half of them expect to lose to us, and several think they will lose badly.

Despite having the same record, I think our fan base (and it sounds like our team too) has much more confidence than Texas does right now. We played a much tougher schedule and we're on the upswing. UT, not so much. They got blown out at home their last game.

Fun times ahead for Hog fans.

[Kevin]

I wish the kid would play more

[elksnort]

I wish the kid would play more

if a QB can through it accurately theyought to be a hit Edwards in short yardage passing.

[Uncommon]

That was the worst logic I've seen in years.  Earth to Wescott, our 6 wins is far and away more impressive than your 6 wins.

5 of our 6 wins came from (I'm not including Nicholls State ; going to use ESPN FPI rankings):
Opponent                      Margin of Victory
#67 Texas Tech              21 points
#68 Northern Illinois      38 points
#87 UAB                       28 points
#14 LSU                       17 points
#4 Ole Miss                   30 points

5 of their 6 wins came against (I'll knock out their lowest ranked win against North Texas to make it 5 teams a piece):
Opponent                      Margin of Victory
#93 Kansas                   23 points
#91 Iowa State              3 points
#67 Texas Tech              21 points
#28 West Virginia          17 points
#55 Oklahoma State      21 points


Arkansas's average opponent was ranked #48 and we won those games by an average of approximately 27 points.

Texas's average opponent was ranked approximately #67 and they won those games by an average of 17 points.

So, our top 5 wins came against higher ranked teams and by a wider margin of victory.

Let's look at each team's losses.

Arkansas's 6 losses
Opponent                    Margin of Defeat
#8 Auburn                  24 points
#22 Texas A&M           7 points
#2 Alabama                1 point
#6 Georgia                 13 points
#9 Mississippi State     7 points
#32 Missouri               7 points

Texas's 6 losses
Opponent                 Margin of Defeat
#38 BYU                  34 points
#15 UCLA                3 points
#7 Baylor                21 points
#12 Oklahoma         5 points
#18 Kansas State     23 points
#5 TCU                    38 points

Arkansas's average loss opponent was ranked approximately #13 and we lost by an average of 10 points.

Texas's average loss opponent was ranked approximately #16 and lost by an average of 21 points.

So we not only beat better teams by wider margins but lost to better teams by lesser margins as well.

Not everyone will agree whether Kendrick should've tweeted what he did but we can all agree that Wescott Eberts is a f!@#ing dumb!@@.   

[cosmodrum]

I don't care for the lady who wrote the article.

[Fayettechill14]

Wasn't their schedule pretty weak?

No, pretty tough actually. North Texas was their only non-Power 5 opponent. Nine conference games plus BYU and UCLA.

Kansas, Iowa State and Texas Tech are really bad football teams, but still, Texas hasn't had an easy schedule. Not nearly as tough as ours, but still pretty tough.

Interesting, thanks. I was thinking of what Uncommon wrote above.

[Speedracer]

Certainly got the author's panties all twisted.  He incorrectly spelled the conference name too.

What a moron. Hope Coach runs the tar out of him.

[RedRock]

If it's true, why not say it? 

[Sportster365]

There's no fun in that.

BYU is not a P5 team.

What kinda crap is this. You want a rivalry, well this is how it gets started.

[PorkRinds]

What a moron. Hope Coach runs the tar out of him.

You've said way more dumb stuff than he did.
