Bama No.1 v. Baylor in the Sugar Bowl

Arkansas v. Texas in the Liberty Bowl

[Hoggish1]

I'll take it! WPS

[StuartDavin]

If Arkansas beats Missouri, we're probably one tripping call away from getting a shot at Wisconsin in the Citrus.

I'll gladly take any postseason game at this point though.

Don't want to play Wisconsin - for the same reason I don't want to play Louisville.
It then becomes the Beliema/Alvarez show instead of about our team and these players who stayed strong and played hard when they could have given up.

Agreed. If we got Louisville then it becomes all about what happened between Arkansas and Petrino. This Bowl game needs to be about this team and the team that we're playing. No built in distractions.

I wish we could go to the Gator bowl. Living here in Savannah that would be an easy 2 hour drive for me. Would beating Mizzou get us there?

same here. let's play a game where  the focus is on the players. wps

[ZERO]

I firmly believe we're going to wax whoever we're pitted against. It's the most confident I've been this year with the exception of UAB and Nicholls State.


And that's why we'll probably lose.

I wanted Louisville....I don't now. Thanks +1 if I could.

[Prestworthy]

Man I would love to play TX in the Liberty bowl.  This is the year to play them.

[Arkansasno1]

likely going to a team further east than us. We are almost guaranteed the liberty against texas or even Oklahoma regardless of the outcome Friday.  Independence may not happen due to Louisville being the opponent.I don't think anyone in arkansas will want that for the reasons mentioned in this thread.

[Ben Steiger]

I'd absolutely love to play Texas, and watch CBB's boys run the ball down their throats...

[Ragnar Hogbrok]

I don't care who we play.  What's important is the 15 extra practices and one extra game to provide the spring board into Spring practice and the 2015 football season.

By simply getting to a bowl, we solidify our position as a football destination to recruits nation wide.  We gain experience through the practices and extra game.  We can begin to build the depth chart for next year earlier than Spring.

This is big time for the program, fellas.

Their D is actually pretty nice, but we'd likely pitch another shutout. Their O has improved a bit recently, which means it's only mildly terrible.

[Arkfan]

Isn't it time to move past Texas? I mean Id take it but that would be the dream matchup for most of you?

[hoglady]

Considering where we will most likely land - yes Texas would be the most attractive matchup and generate the most interest.

Big for recruiting...epecially if we embarrass them

[Mike_e]

Come on guys, would you really want to deny some of our kids a chance to fully express their feelings for a guy that stabbed them in the hearts and broke off the hilt?

Our dirty laundry is already in the wind and I'd love the chance to burn and bury it.

[TheGunther]

Texas? Boring only means something to old farts. Would rather play an acc team. Something we have done in a while.

[wupigsuey]

I can dig it

[WilsonHog]

Would love that match up, and the location.

[ErieHog]

People under 40 have a hard time appreciating how much older folks hate Texas.

Combine your loathing for Kentucky Basketball, add it to Alabama Raaawl Tide idiocy, and multiply it by the last three years of Aggie braggadacio, and you have a taste of what Texas is.

Would love to meet up with Miami for recruiting purposes

[PIGZSNOUT]

I dont care who the Hogs play.....All that matters this week is Mizzou....after fridays win, i'll start thinking about the post-season bowl game.

[Justagp]

Agree

[Queen Hog]

I don't care who we play.....WE ARE GOING BOWLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Westcoasthog]

   Its Arkansas  verses  Texas!

[passinghog]

I doubt Texas will end up having to leave the state to play a bowl game. Strongly doubt it....

Hoglady, I absolutely agree. I want our Bowl game to be ABOUT the players and not about Alvarez nor about Petrino.  That would be all the "talking heads" would talk about during the game i.e. past problems with Petrino. 

It has been such a long time since I have posted on HV due to the fact that I could not bear all the negativity but I have lurked on here from time to time.  I am so proud of OUR team & OUR coaching staff.  I have witnessed improvement in every game that has been played and I have held on to that fact.  It has been many years since I have seen this kind of defense on a Razorback team.  The very fact that Coach BB & staff did not "lose" this team early on speaks volumes.  WPS!!!!  We are goin' bowlin'!!!!   :razorback:

[Cinco de Hogo]

If we played Louisville I'd probably burn all my member cards to MB's if there was such a thing just so I wouldn't be tempted to venture into one.  It would be hloody bell!
