Where exactly should a message board post "lead" us? I didn't know we were going anywhere!

not sure where it should lead. but it definitely shouldn't lead nowhere or lead to divisions in a fan base.

wishing malzahn had come here or discussing the GSD does that fwiw. but i'm pretty sure you already knew that...

Wish I knew what his thread was so I could decide on or not


I was asking the board to list the Pro's and Con's of how Jeff Long has impacted the big 4 programs. Also asked that the answers not be duplicated so I could compile a list.

Definitely a ban worthy thread.

I also commented to a poster that I was doing this because I was losing a conversation defending Long and was looking for peoples opinion.

If you read my posts in this thread, I said that I thought it was too early to call on who would have been the better hire.

Look, Gus is doing really well and we are... well not doing so well. It's natural to question coaching decisions when you look like we have the last 3 weeks. I haven't brought up anything that everyone wasn't already thinking about.

Some of you seem upset that someone would even question whether or not Bielema is the right guy. I still think he could be, though I'm a little worried. Is that opinion really going to cause some sort of devastating fracture in the fanbase? I doubt it.

You're really mad at Jeff Long?

Why?

shite man....Petrino won 5 games his first year. We damn near lost to an FCS team at home his first year.

If we can give a coward like Petrino a couple years, we can do the same for Bert.

He couldn't have. People just don't want to realize that. Auburn has recruited well the last 3 years. We lost 22 from 2010 and 2011.

Did I say I was mad at Jeff Long? Never.

I said I was losing a conversation defending Jeff Long and wanted everyones Pro's and Con's.

Thread got whacked because I'm sure someone didn't think a back and fourth conversation about the merits of Long.

Go figure.

Mmmm, K. Someone is mad. Looks like you need to call up an escort or something because you are getting way to worked up for a message board.

Damn, you mad.

Care to explain why you were asking for pros and cons if you were only defending Long, like you say?

Gus is coaching players he recruited 3 years ago. It is in no way fair to judge based on that.

No, he walked into a different situation. There are players there he was recruiting for this same system.....while they did suck last year they did have a lot of talent still. Easier to win at auburn quicker than here.


Get the frick out.

Speaking of message board jokes, remember that time you started a thread evaluating the athletic director after we lost a game when we were 28 point underdogs? That was a real knee slapper.

No.

We're going to be alright, we're just taking lumps right now while CBB builds this thing. I have faith he will get it done, but to do it right, without shortcuts, we're just going to have to take them right now.

He's got part of the foundation in Kirkland, Skipper, Collins, Henry, Philon, Koehler and more help is on the way next year.

We'll be going after Gus in 3 to 4 years. If he has and NC at Auburn and still has love for Arkansas, he may come home. Otherwise we'll hire another fatass buffoon to shite wreck the ship.

You guys never cease to amaze me...



We're still pretty much exactly where we expected to be.


Last year we went 4-8 and we lost our most talented players. We have zero depth and are the youngest team in the SEC. We have TWO true freshmen starting on the offensive line. We have no linebackers.


I'm just curious as to what you expected? Also, it takes time to build depth from nothing.. but given the contributions of this last freshman class already I think a lot of folks just need to shut up and be patient.

Nutt started 8-0. Look at how that ended up.

Auburn is one of the four MOST experienced teams in the SEC. Arkansas is the LEAST experienced team in the SEC. The other top 3 most experienced? Mississippi, Tennessee and Mississippi State.

What we're experiencing are the pains of a transition year after dealing with very poor recruiting classes and having to learn to play defense. It has become pretty obvious that Bobby reached his ceiling here. Gus Malzahn still hasn't beaten a solid team. They needed poor officiating and playing to injure to win against A&M. (I might remind you that we were in the A&M game only we committed turnovers and they did not)

I will not at any point support Gus Malzahn at Arkansas because he plays a brand of football (cheating, not the spread) that is unacceptable.
