re: Jake Bequette is a tool thread.

I mean…what do you disagree with that he has tweeted?

I don’t know that people necessarily disagree with some of his points but it’s the namecalling by a grown adult calling someone a “bag of tits” which isn’t dissimilar from the fat jokes people keep making about Pittman.

No one has ever said there’s anything wrong with criticizing the football decisions but people just throw shite out there that doesn’t have anything to do with anything. Instead of having a counter point they go to personal jabs.

It’s like everyone thinks this is Call of Duty where you can tell a kid to get wrecked bitch

From what I’ve read, that’s what it turned into from both sides.

Jakes point seems to be Pittman going the way of a politician…”Hey, don’t look over there, look over here at this.” Regarding, let’s not talk about the losses, let’s talk about our punter who is seeing a counselor.

From my view, Jake kind of pointed out that BS and called out the media as well for just rolling with it. It’s a smart play by Pitman because “mental illness” is sort of a feel sorry thing to speak about right now. Sam succeeded in taking the convo off of shitty coaching.

fans seems to be okay with a soft program that doesn’t win much.

We are a pussy program. No doubt about it.

We may fit the baw culture (not the NWA commie move ins to the state) of the SEC, but we don't want to win at any cost, like the rest of the blue blood SEC schools.

We have soft tacos.

Absolutely nothing

We also have the worst in state talent by far of any SEC state. Blaming athletic department culture is a cope to feel better about the ceiling over our football program.

ETA: Coaching still deserves to be criticized for losses to BYU and Liberty last year, but big time winning has serious limitations here

The far majority of power five programs recruit of state as those states don't have enough high
level players to fill up rosters.

So they need to go out of state to find better players.

States like Georgia, Florida, California and Texas have all the talent but are recruited by hundreds of division one schools.

It is why those states except Georgia haven't dominated college football.

Arkansas isn't located in the middle nowhere like Montana, surrounded by small states with little football talent

Arkansas is a southern state in the south surrounded by some of the best football players in the nation.

Surrounded by states such as Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi.

Our best TE is from Oklahoma.

Best CB is from Texas.

One of the best QBs in the SEC is from Mississippi.

It is a small state but that isn't some new revealing news that we just came to understand recently.

Arkansas historically has always recruited out of state just like many schools and have done just fine in the past.

Arkansas suffers not only from decades of poor coaching but a terrible reputation of a bad football program that the top recruits in the nation both ignore and wouldn't bother visiting if you begged them.

Arkansas doesn't have that type of culture.

Bama does because the average fan is a lunatic and the most extreme is a Harvey Updyke.

They shoot at each other when they lose. That doesn't happen in Arkansas because it is just a game. But if you say that in Alabama, you could end up dead

I know from experience and relatives who are hog fans that have lived in Alabama.

Football is a big deal in Arkansas but is it a religion in Alabama.

As an Alabama resident I can truly say that most if not all their fans DGAF about Arkansas football.

With the recent developments over the last few days we're truly a laughing stock at the local watering holes.

OP was told by our soft AF sports "journalists" that Jake was a meanie and the fanbase is eating it up.

I mean, he was being an a-hole to people. You can make valid points on Twitter without resorting to insults. But I’m not sure what that has to do with the football program as a whole.

I agree that coaches with drill sergeant personalities like Petrino and Saban normally get results but it also works the other way with coaches like Dabo and Bill Snyder. Will Muschamp was as intense as anyone and he sucked. There’s not a perfect formula either way.
