What will you do....

[HotlantaHog]

I'll have a drink or two!

Then continue to go to three or four games a year ... Might try to avoid the Alabama game.

[Tequilin' Time]

I will scream about being offended,  demand my pacifier,  throw a tantrum and poop my diaper out of utter defiance, blah blah blah.

seriously,  I'll work, take care of my family and enjoy sports for what it is.

Doesn't mean I don't want to win any less that anyone else.  But it doesn't change my paycheck.

[Ironhawg]

I will accept that Arkansas football will never amount to anything but a revenue generator for the UA and will find something else to do with my time until basketball and baseball seasons.

when you realize that the BoT and Jeff Long weren't persuaded by pissed off fans and the threat of temper tantrums (banners, pitchforks, ads, message board banter etc...); and retain Bert in 2018?  What will you do, after your cock-sure pronouncements on this forum that Bert will be fired, get proven wrong?

I think he will be retained.  If I'm wrong, I'll CELEBRATE.
You guys with faith in Jeff Long firing Bert....what will you do if you are wrong?

Bret will hang himself.  If fans really think he stays after 0 SEC wins your nutts.  Will the assistant coaches stay?  No...they are not going to stay 1 year to be canned the next?  He will not win a conference game and he will be shown the door.

Can't honestly say at this point. I will most certainly determine my own approach IF that time comes. I DO know that I will NOT abandon my love and support for the Hogs. My ultimate loyalty is to the university and the team, not to a particular set of coaches.

Make peace with dropping about 4K a year on a program that doesn't deserve it.

You are not dropping that on the program, you are dropping that on yourself. You have talked, quite eloquently, about the things you enjoy about a game weekend. The game is the reason to go to Fay, but you do a lot more there than just go to the game.

Hopefully that approach will change in three years. I've always used football as an outstanding reason to go to Fayetteville five or six times every fall. It has allowed me to see my children when they were students at UA, spend time in my favorite part of the world, etc. If I am able to move to NW Arkansas in three years, those reasons go away. At that point, it will become much more about winning and losing. If things remain as they are now, I'll divert my money and attention to Razorback baseball and basketball, sports Long hasn't screwed up.

Are they really going to play chicken with this fanbase? We may not have been the thing that got Nutt canned, but our unhappiness made things a lot harder for those in charge.

It may not cost millions, but there will be ticket cancellations if he's retained. There will be reduced donations. There will be folks backing out of NEZ commitments. There will be other coaches pointing out our lame duck coach to every recruit we're in on. There will be guys that transfer. There will be at least some frustration within the team.

Go ahead and push that snowball down the hill. Apathy and a cancer will spread like wildfire.

I will finally have drop those Season Tickets and Donations.  Jeff has some of those Club Seats priced up (40% increase last year) there now to the point, that it is a fairly heavy financial burden.  I have to see some kind of "Real" path going forward in our program To cost justify that kind of financial strain.  Stagnation and/or Jeff's Feelings doesn't cut the mustard any longer at this new price point (for me anyway).

I'll continue to come here and marvel at those who apparently have nothing else in life but Hog football.

I don't think Bret is going to get fired after the year, though I hope I'm wrong.

But let's not kid ourselves. After 9 months without football the optimism will return before next season. There will be posts about how our recruiting class finally got speed and "stars don't matter." Posts about how Kelley made the leap in spring ball and will take us to the next level. When some national media member picks Colorado State to beat us, there will be outrage on the board about how the media hates us and they are sleeping on Chase Hayden as the best back in the country. But then we will lose to someone we shouldn't and get blown out by others, and we'll be right back to where we are today.

[Pork Twain]

Nothing different.  Hog sports are a thing I enjoy, not my life.  In order of importance, it is so far down my list of things that really matter and affect my day, that I will not lose any sleep.  I come on here mostly to bs and kill time while deployed.

Yet, you have logged over 42,000 posts on here!!  LMMFAO.... Dude.

I'll be concerned about 2019 and likely fish a couple extra saturdays in 2018.

Be a step closer to the apathy I've been fighting like heck against.

[phadedhawg]

I will probably watch more Premier League futbol and a lot less Razorback football. 

But as someone above said, how else will they sell tickets if we don't have a coaching change?

[DemiHOG]

Be disappointed , thank goodness it's not life for most. Yellowstone will erupt and put us out of our misery anyway.

nothing different. I haven't watched a single game this season.OK doing that again next year too.

[Cartoon Man]

Heard today the board is 5to5 on firing Long.  Long knows he needs to make this right.
