Quit being a pansy.

If being a pansy means wanting to win and not lose, then I will continue to be a pansy.

Yes.  He's that Madre Hill, McFadden type freak Arkansas turns out occasionally


He'd play SEC football right now....

He has to be from 7A west to be able to play SEC football...you didn't know? Like the Allen's.....or Brooksie Ellis.........

So...again...you just said you'd take an Arkansas Razorbacks loss over a win.

Is it fall yet?
So when someone suggest that Arkansas leave the SEC and go the Big 12 the answer is always that we can't give up the money.  What are those fans saying if not that we would rather lose in the SEC than win in the Big 12?  As long as the money is good enough.

To get any where close to the type team we are watching play tonight.

Fulltiltboogie
Hammerdown
Jimmiesandjoes
XsandOs

These are definitely the best two teams in the nation right now.

Coach Morris has his work cut out

We won't ever get there.  We'll never look like either of those teams defensively.  The size of their LBs and DBs combined with their speed won't be seen at Arkansas in those numbers.  Probably not offensively either when you consider the size of many of their skill players.  We can be successful though. 

You look at OU's defense.  Perhaps we could get there.  Norwood is a name tossed around here as a "lost" recruit.  He was physically manhandled by UGa all game.  Their wr's abused him including on TD passes.  On the winning TD, Fromm completely took him out of the play on a block.  OU had speed and some athletes like their undersized DE who is a great college pass rusher.

What scares me is Morris' offense.  Not the aspect of scoring, because I believe we will. The problem is our defense and the toll it's ginna take on them.  We're going to have recruit quality 2s and get them experienced or hope for a bunch of 3 & outs  I'm hoping The Chief can do both of those. It'll take until year 3 on the depth. We should see improvement in overall defense with the big 10 mentality gone. That alone should result in less time on the field.
I'm only responsible for what I say, not how you perceive it.

I said that exactly.  We're not going to be Alabama.  That isn't our model for success.  But we could be OU.  And they were within a play of being in the championship game.

OU has won 10+ games in 15 of 18 years. We aren't in the same stratosphere as OU as a program.

We aren't going to win like OU has.  They out recruit their competition with one exception. But we could resemble them in how we play and have success. I hate it.  But it's the recruiting base we have.  I think the last stated approach could have worked but the oline was never built.  So we are going to head down a different path.

yes how much winning that happens remains to be seen.  Obviously OU level of success would be a huge win for us, but i agree i bet we look very similar to them in terms of speed speed speed and offense with a D that hopefully can force negative plays for our opponents.

Our players look nothing like those kids.


Makes you wonder about steroids etc.

Before Kirby, a lot of GA guys over here claimed they highly suspect/know that the gumps are stick'n needles in the backsides of the players. If you look at the GA players now that Kirby is at GA, they appear to look very much like the gumps players now. Thick, lean and fast and quick. Apparently Needles + Bagmen = winning formula.

Competition.  The top of the SEC is bigger, deeper and faster.  OU's answer for it has been exceptional qb play.  They are rarity though.  Ok St, TCU, Baylor, TT, K St,... not physically imposing teams.  All built similar and with the exception of K St all with similar offenses.  Why Texas decided to stoop down to their level when they could build LSU/Bama like teams I have no idea.  We have a B12 recruiting base trying to play teams with a Deep South/Fl base.  Advantage OU and OSU.

Bingo.

The thing separating OU from Arkansas is not some inherent advantage but the conference that they play in.

Without Saban the top of the SEC isn't any really tougher than any other league.  The athletes might be better, but that doesn't necessarily translate to dominant teams on the field.  Sometimes it doesn't even translate to good teams.

Take off the Saban blinders and you realize that there isn't a team in the league that we can't expect to beat at least 50% of the time if we get to where we should be.

Would depend if they are where they should be.  Good thing about last expansion is we won't see Fl or Uga too often.  The size and physicality of the conference is different at the top.   Bama was this way pre Saban.  Just not consistently coached well for a while.

Yet we saw Nick Saban bench a quarterback in the second half who is 25-2 I believe................for a freshman. Yet we had to ride the Allen coattail to the bank for 5 years.....

As I said, it doesn't always translate to dominance on the field.  In fact, it usually doesn't.  Saban has completely skewed reality around here.

Don't see how BA or Ellis had anything to do personally with either of those people leaving. They came to Arkansas because they loved the program and gave all they had to us. Both of them created good memories for the hogs and I think it's dumb to bash them because you don't like the previous administration.

Iron and a few others are so jealous of NWA that they now want to act like the only in state players the school recruits are from the 7a west. But these guys are still fighting the Civil War so there is that too.

Funny though, Greenlaw is a 7a west player and they don't have a problem with him.

They think you are not really an Arkansan or do not know what the south is unless you grew up in a share cropper shack in the delta.

Guys like him and Eliis have had to play MLB because they were the best we could get. Maybe if every freaking hs coach in the state would quit putting everyone on offense, the state could start producing some good lb's like they used to do.

We take our shot against the best every week. Are we winners because of it?

You're one of those dudes who ride the SEC coattails, aren't you? Because somehow Alabama's success makes us better, right? Even though we went 4-8 and Alabama kicked our teeth in. Just like Clemson winning it all last year makes Wake Forest better.

You cannot spin this any other way, my man. You're saying you're okay with an exciting LOSS over a boring WIN.

That's mindblowing.
lets talk about UCF's NC....

oh yeah they don't have one, because they don't play against the best. 

doesn't matter how much you win, if its not against the best.

so if you want to be the best you gotta play the best.

SEC and Georgia play against the best and both made it to the NC.

I don't care that we are a middle of the road SEC program.  you gotta start somewhere.  we are in the right conference, now we just have to figure out a winning formula.

I'd say being a blue blood program for a half century with 7 national titles and 47 conference championships is a pretty substantial "inherent" advantage over Arkansas' situation.

Oklahoma State is not a bad comparison, but that wasn't the subject.

I like it when people project their personal feelings as fact. You say the last staff was lazy. Do you know the amount of hours they put into communicating with HS prospects? How much film they watched? They had faults in other areas that can be picked at rather than making things up.

My brother got his doctorate at OSU, he is a big time fan and all he does is gripe about the football program and how it is never going to win anything of consequence as long as they treat defense as optional.
