And the future?
UAB
@MSU
LSU
OM
@Mizzou
I know transitive property comparisons suck, especially this year, but its not looking very good. I see maybe two wins, but really just one. Two years in a row with no SEC wins, 2 sec wins in 3 years(Against Auburn(3-9) UK(2-10)). Yall had some confidence in Bert's progression, is it still there? Will next year be his contract season? What are your qualifiers for progress in '15?

I think if I was an Arkansas fan I would see clear progress from last year, and with the total overhaul of the program from the Petrino system/era to the Bert system it makes sense that it would take a bit longer.
But I would think he needs to start winning some games in 2015.

We'll see. Mizzou and LSU are winnable.
Still confident in Bert's progression? Do you remember how awful we were last year? We've made huge strides this year, but it's going to take another year to get 'over the hump,' especially with the hardest schedule in the NCAA. We knew that going into this season.

Not an Arky fan, but I could see them going 3-2 in that stretch. LSU at home and Missouri isn't particularly good

At this point I think LSU is a loss for them, Mizzou is the game I could see going either way

We had a chance to beat Bama and aTm. Competitive with Auburn.
Really shite the bed against Georgia.
2 heartbreaking losses and 1 arse kicking loss. Auburn was indifferent, they looked significantly better than us.
I'm happy, but consider myself in the 5% group of our fanbase that actually knows a lot about football and the process it takes to win big games and build a program. I am patient but most aren't. I don't see us being any more competitive this year if we had (insert any other coach here) due to a severe lack of talent.
I think Bielema needs a different OC, not because I think Chaney sucks, but because there's no rhythm unless we are able to demolish someone else's defensive line.
I also think we need a more dynamic QB (or better QB coach).
We CAN win 3 of our last games, but won't. I think we beat LSU and the UAB bunch then lose a bowl game by a field goal since we don't have a kicker.

yes and after that i just don't know.
i'm hoping it was a fluke- and i realize how ridiculous that sounds given our record but still it really downgraded my opinion of things.

Somewhere a Florida fan winced!
I'm going to be at the LSU - Ark game and I figure, the way my luck goes, I'll get to see an LSU loss.

I see 3-2. We'll run all day on LSU. Mizzou just sucks, and UAB is UAB. Our future is great. People outside of Arkansas just don't realize how shitty the state of our program was prior to 2Beez getting hired.
That being said, if Chaney still has a job next year, I have no clue what to tell you. That dude is horrid as an OC/playcaller.

I could see them losing all those games to winning 3.
UAB is a decent team

I just don't get the extremely slow developing play action passes where only 2 receivers are running routes for 7 or 8 yards.
Then Georgia throws a corner or fast LB on the outside to our fat linemen and Allen is smeared before even looking up.

I Like what Bert is building but until we get a QB that at least keep defenses honest and doesn't panic under pressure we are going to be bad

honestly saturday surprised the hell out of me. In SEC play up to that point arkansas looked like a really good team that just couldn't close.
I don't think they'll compete with MSU or ole miss but they'll be in every other SEC game they play.

why you care is beyond me but we're gonna have to start winning some games, we can't go 3 seasons in and still be 5-7 or less.

I didnt watch the game(fricking fall weddings) but I was shocked at the outcome as well. I thought they were progressing, but seemed to turn 180. Next two games should be a good judgement

And the final score isn't really indicative of how not-close it was.
