Wow, Did you hear Powell's statement?

[Potosihog]

Sounded like Terrell Pryor.

Maybe he should focus on being the player he was last year instead of running his mouth about how great he is going to be.

[Smithian]

Dude.

No.

[WildHawg]

Ok...I'll bite.  What was it Powell said??

[chiefsfan]

Ok...I'll bite.  What was it Powell said??

Essentially said once his foot was 100 percent healthy he would start dominating.

[TuckFexas]

You just hate to hear confidence!

[Potosihog]

said "One of these days its gonna get right and when it does I AM GOING to be scary for a lot of people."

[Smithian]

You just hate to hear confidence!

Seriously.

He's one of the most excitable, upbeat guys on the team. He was huge in the second half. You're not a Hog fan if you don't love guys like Marshawn Powell.

[Smithian]

said "One of these days its gonna get right and when it does I AM GOING to be scary for a lot of people."

It's true though......

[Foshodo]

if his facebook is correct... it's the dudes birthday today and he helped his team come back from a 10 point drumming to get tied back up for 1st in the west again...

let him be a lil bit full of himself for a bit.

[Smithian]

This is the same guy who was sick the LSU game and still lead our second half comeback when he threw up one or two times behind the bench. Had we won that game, that would have been a memorable second half for a Razorback basketball player. Have to be proud of a guy like that.

[Hawgphish]

He's been scary for Hog fans all year.  A hurt foot does not keep you from bench press and eating right.

[Potosihog]

Okay.  First, he is one of my favorite players.  He had a good game today.  But seriously?  If this was any other star player on any other team we would be ripping them apart.  Don't give him a pass either. 

[Lando Calrissian]

Too bad Pel hates him.

[fred ziffel]

Who remembers Robert "cookieman" Birden"? Threw up his guts one evening then went on a tear....

Ron Brewer, Sr. did it one evening also......

[elksnort]

pelphrey likes slow white guys who can't jump and are over achievers.

[nextlevel]

Willie Beamen did it every game...

I agree but the thing that makes me nervous is he made a statement similar to that last year and right after that the team folded like a cheap pretzel and lost the rest of their games. I sure hope that doesn't happen again.

[Hog Fan...DOH!]

I'm sick and tired of fans whining about EVERYTHING.  I'm glad somebody on that team has some confidence.  Gimme some freaking athletes with a mean streak.

Give me 12 Marshawn Powells and we're going to win a whole lot of games.

Uh, he said it right before the SEC tourney.  We lost one game. 

[stronguard]

Good for Marshawn.  He knows he'll have to dominate to make up for the disadvantages we have in the coaching department with Opie.

[GuvHog]

Uh, he said it right before the SEC tourney.  We lost one game. 

I knew he said it, I just got when he said it wrong. Let's hope the outcome is different this season. Thanks for the correction, my apologies.

[Boarford T. Justice]

Good for Marshawn.  He knows he'll have to dominate to make up for the disadvantages we have in the coaching department with Opie.

You don't want Pel or Mike.  Ok who is your man?   

[PonderinHog]

Here's to his health!  Getcha game on big guy!  The team needs you!

[fred ziffel]

He already looks a little scary......

said "One of these days its gonna get right and when it does I AM GOING to be scary for a lot of people."

I couldn't hear the first question in the post game, but his answer was very clear.

He talked about how he never played in front of crowds the size that BWA have. He talked about how the great it was playing in front of the crowd today. Said that the fans really give him that extra boost when he is feeling tired.

Now, if you're looking for a reason to go to these games and give a great crowd, there ya go right there.

[Blue35]

No

[stronguard]

You don't want Pel or Mike.  Ok who is your man?   

Jamie Dixon or Ben Howland.  Both know Long.  Both are excellent coaches.  Pitt, though currently better than the UA, is in reality a step below us.  UCLA fans are impatient and do not like Howland's defensive style.  I really think, with a little help from our big boy donors, we could have either of these 2.  JMO

[The Boar War]

Sounded like Terrell Pryor.

Maybe he should focus on being the player he was last year instead of running his mouth about how great he is going to be.

Completely different.

Pryor's comments put the blame on other people (his coach, the system, etc).  Powell inferred that when he gets it all together he's going to be a force to reckon with.  Powell put the emphasis on himself getting it right.

I hope he stops by and thanks the football team for that great crowd he had today.

he's running his mouth about getting healthy and returning to the player he was last year.  don't compare him/this to TP.

[Smithian]

I hope he stops by and thanks the football team for that great crowd he had today.

I could swear we had a pretty darn good crowd last week without the football team being there...

[kaiserhog]

Who remembers Robert "cookieman" Birden"? Threw up his guts one evening then went on a tear....

I remember Robert Birden.  He had a great game the night the hogs  routed the Houston Cougars 92-47, the triplets were brand new and that win began to put Arkansas on the college basketball map.  Houston's first ever SWC game.  Houston had been something of a power.  I was there in old Barnhill Fieldhouse before the renovation.

[rude1]

Last week we hadn't been beaten by a crappy LSU team without it's leading scorer, if you hadn't noticed.

[Smokehouse]

Too bad Pel hates him.

he should just make some harsh Twitter comments, I hear that's a good way to get back in Pel's good graces.

[baconsizzle]

+1 Fred ziffel, the caption is rofl funny

[brenthog]

I love MP's Offensive abilities. I think if you wanted to knock his game you would do so with his effort on Defense. Many times it appears to me it's lacking. He looks uninterested on the Defensive end of the floor...

You think maybe that's why he's drawn Pel's ire???

[Mick Hogger]

Last week we hadn't been beaten by a crappy LSU team without it's leading scorer, if you hadn't noticed.

No, we had just been thumped by 33 by Texas. Your point?

[Razorback#1fan4life]

Essentially said once his foot was 100 percent healthy he would start dominating.

He is right...besides dont you want your players to have confidence in themselves?  All the great basketball players have that attitude, and they let people know just that.

[Breems]

Powell can be confident all he wants.  He's our best player and showed it today when he propelled us into a comeback victory.

[Foshodo]

He's been scary for Hog fans all year.  A hurt foot does not keep you from bench press and eating right.

dude... i get tired of hearing this... he had the baby fat last season too, then we got the tighter fitting jerseys.

[hillhog]

I don't care what color they are but I kind of like over achievers. Usually means they work harder than the more gifted, bigger, stronger, faster, did I leave anything out? I always wonder what some of those could achieve with a better work ethic.

[Speedracer]

With Alabama player quote....

HAHA!! +10

i hope his game can cash the checks his mouth is writing
