This season was an abject failure and an embarrassment

Nearly lost to Louisiana Tech in our first game.

Blew a lead and tried our best to give away the TCU game.

Showed some fight against A&M and promptly gave up in the second half when the going got tough.

Got blown out in the first half against Bama and extended our losing streak to a decade.

Lost 56-3 to Auburn. No explanation needed.

Got blown out at home by LSU.

Tried to blow a lead to a bad Mississippi State team.

Lost to THE. WORST. TEAM. in the conference and blew an enormous lead in the process.

Blew a 24-0 halftime lead to Virginia Texh and scored 0 points in the second half.

Decreased our win total and yet again can't get past the 7 win cap.

The offense is a bunch of sulky douchebags when things don't go their way. The defense is a bunch of front runners and flat out quits in the second half of games. We have the worst DC and offensive line coach in football. We have the worst defense in football in the modern era. We're a running team that can't run. We're a passing team that can't pass in the second half. We're a "physical" team that is physically and mentally weak.

Frick this team. I'm so glad this season is over.

Hard to argue against any of that.

I just stopped caring. The powers that be seemed to be ok with average results so I don't get too invested anymore.

Once they start getting serious about winning again I'll give a damn.

This is what bothers me. The boasting about APR and #Uncommon bull shite is exactly that, and it's a thinly veiled excuse for losing, lazy recruiting, and poor player development.

Time to move to the Big 12. This conference is too hard for our program to succeed and we will never see a championship as long as we're in the SEC. THE ONLY REASON for staying in the SEC is always "money," but no one knows where that money goes or what it's used on. And that money obviously isn't helping us win games.

This is fricking stupid.

We missed that ship a few years ago. The Big 12 isn't going to exist in 10 years.

This was a truly shitty season and piss poor 'team'.
Not a team with no talent, although deficient in some crucial spots. Just a shitty 'team'. No leadership.
No mental toughness. No killer instinct.
Not to mention questionable coaching.

We're lucky we finished with a winning record.

Not sure why that matters. So we stay in the SEC and keep losing indefinitely? Keep paying coaches $4 million for nothing? Why not make the jump and try to win some kind of championship in our lifetimes?

All of this.

We had zero senior leadership, and our captains were a complete joke.

Ellis is one of our biggest liabilities on defense. Wise did absolutely nothing in his career until late last year and then disappeared this year, so much so that he relegated to the role of 3rd down rush end by the end of the season. Skipper cost us dearly at several points during his tenure with stupid penalties, and he's been a huge liability in pass protection for years. Kody Walker was never anything more than a bit player who couldn't stay healthy.

I said after the LSU game that it was sadly fitting for the losingest class in Razorback history to get blown out on their senior night by an interim coach.

You completely overestimate our ability and chances.

If we move to the Big 12, we're just trading Alabama for Oklahoma, LSU for Texas, Auburn for Baylor, and idiot/crooked SEC officials for idiot/crooked Big 12 officials.

We are Arkansas. We ALWAYS play down to our competition, always make the bad decision when we come to a fork in the road, and we'd find a way to consistently go 7-5 and frick it up for ourselves.

We would have a better chance against those teams. Plus the SEC is losing its luster.

Our recruiting would just fall off and we'd be in the same situation except with less exposure

The SEC ain't what it used to be. All games are on TV now and the SEC is just another conference. Exposure is not a problem, and A&M took away any kind of recruiting advantage we had in Texas. There is NO REASON to be in the SEC anymore. Time to cut the cord.

You forgot to add the beatdown of Florida just to tease us all. Of course Florida isn't a good team, just shows how bad the East is.

I'm getting apathetic for sure. Not excited for any facet of the Arkansas programs right. Basketball has been a 20 year meh and football is one meltdown after another. On to baseball we go haha.
