Sympathy for the Arkansas Fanbase...

First and foremost, consider that I'm a die hard LSU fan. Arkansas always plays LSU tough and for some strange reason, most of the LSU fanbase does not take Arkansas as seriously as they should.
From one college football fan to another, I can't imagine losing 4 games in September after starting the year as a legitimate national title contender. Arkansas seems like they've been on the verge of competing for a BCS title a few times the past decade and this was supposed to be their one chance.
Message boards can be cruel and I hope the few die hard Hog fans that still post on TD, end up rewarded for their loyalty.

it actually has gotten stupid at Arkansas.
you can only have so many sequels to a comedy. sort of like caddyshack and caddyshack 2.

Exactly. Real fans support the team just as much when they are losing as when they are winning.
Arkansas has some great fans. You guys do not deserve this season.
Eta: I know most of you can't stand JL'S, but the man has had a rough year. I also feel sorry for him. He obvious isn't SEC head coach material.

I'm definitely not a fan of his, but I think the guy has probably lost a decade off his life from what he's endured on and off the field this year.
If Arkansas completely tanks and wins 3 or 4 games, I wonder if the guy will ever get a head coaching job again on any level of college football.

Sympathy is the wrong word... this fanbase deserves this season. Sucks to suck.

I'm not an ATL falcons fan just cause I'm a dawgs fan...the guy had a reputation at Louisville and Atl...Arky knew that...and hired him anyway

so fricking what? like your school is above hiring a coach like Petrino, if it came down to it.

I feel bad for him sometimes and hate his guts sometimes.
He was a fill-in and it didn't work, plain and simple.

True, but the fanbase didn't hire him.
