That game is huge! There is a log jam of teams with 6 losses and I don't want to join them by losing the next two

You act like this is one of Nolan's old teams.  We are improved this year yes, but this team is still weak and plays down to their competition all the time.  We are just as likely to have another meltdown as we are to win.

[HognitiveDissonance]

I think this will be a tough game. I will take a one-point win in a heartbeat.
It's hard to bounce back after playing UK. That can do nothing but take a little bounce out of your step. It's got to hurt your confidence quite a bit.

The team's won/loss record says you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Correct assessment!

South Carolina is a decent team that is probably underrated. We all know how SEC officiating is on the road and Frank Martin is a very good coach. All in all, I expect this game to be a real fight ...

We all know the team is probably pretty disappointed over the UK loss.. you have to hope there is no hangover to the next game ... it is probably a good thing the game is not early in the week.

Looking at records we should win, but strange things happen on the road.

Last year Kentucky was 11-3 in conference before losing at home to Arkansas. Their next game was on the road to a 3-12 USC team.  USC won by 5 points.

This year an 11-3 Arkansas team lost on the road to Kentucky and goes on the road to take on a 5-11 USC team.

We should win, but don't bet the house on it.

Last year at this time, I wouldn't have wanted to be a Crimson Tide (or whatever they call themselves individually), but then the game started.

Best case scenario: This Hog team is not last year's. We play solid on the road, relish the opportunity to play a team that doesn't have a huge height advantage over us, and wear them out with our depth.

Worst case scenario is these are two teams that continue to go in opposite directions. SC is a decent team finally playing like they're capable of against SEC competition. Arkansas has been outscored by 40 points over the last three halves and has shot a low % from the field. SC comes out on senior night ready to make this game their "bowl game" since they're not in the tournament discussion. Frank Martin goes all Marine drill sergeant, and the more aggressive team gets all the calls at home.   

All I know is the team I wouldn't want to be this week is the GA Bulldogs.

I absolutely hate the quick turnaround to play LSU early Saturday. We've got to beat SC.

Yeah...going to be tough.

I hope we are rested and focused against USCe.

Im banking on Martin suspending another player or two by thursday.

We should be. Time to let everything settle from that beatdown @ Rupp.

[3kgthog]

We get a nice little rest before this one. That has me confident. Feed Bobby early and often, let him dominate, and keep doing what we've been doing.

[Mick Hogger]

They've got this. I have a feeling they are going to come out with something to prove on this one and take care of business.

[phadedhawg]

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit concerned for how we bounce back.  We need these last two games.

This is true, but it will have been four days removed.  I think the KY game gave our team a whole new attitude.  Let's see if they can put the hammer down, like they should.

[arkansasrazorback]

Correct assessment!

23-6 says otherwise.  USC-e goes about 7 deep.  I think this one will be over by halftime.

[pfrg999]

Or any other day, for that matter...

I have nothing to add here

[bigred223]

They can't match up with us for an entire game.

We need it. It is very important that we finish with 7 losses

I didn't even realize the game was Thursday when I wrote that. I agree, that does change things. If it were Tuesday I was worried about quick turnaround. Now I think we pull it out.

Absolutely love this young lady's attitude. Bright smile, upbeat, clear sense of direction. I'd hire her in a minute.

[jcam61]

I'm extremely confident we are going to come out firing.   That UK game will do nothing but motivate us to play better.  I hope.  That being said playing any game on the road is always ....iffy.  Maybe not so much this year but you never know how the refs will call the game and what we will do to counter it.  I say we win by 10.

[popcornhog]

It'll be a tough road game against a team that's better than their record indicates.

But we should win and clinch the 2 spot.
