LINK

- only 3 SEC home games (two in the division -- AU and MSU)
- back-to-back SEC road games occur twice -- Knoxville, Tuscaloosa on consecutive Saturdays... then Baton Rouge, Oxford later in the year (LSU and bama have none/ AU has one)
- SEC home opener on Oct 24th... it'll be cold as shite in NWA by then.
- no UK or Vandy from the east, the two clear cellar dwellers.

Arkansas has the talent to win the west... but Jesus, this schedule blows.

Because they play A&M in Jerry's palace so they lose a home/away game every year

I wonder what will happen when the Jerryworld contact reaches finality. I'd Prefer to see that return to the campuses.

We don't play an SEC home game until October 24th.

This doesn't bother me other than the fact that I'll be freezing in the stands. Cold, dreary home games worked out well for us last year against Bama, LSU and Ole Miss.

This one does bother me. We lost a game against Kentcky when they switched up scheduling and then Vandy should have been rotating back on the schedule this season.

Instead we got the two beast teams in the East last year and two of the top three this year.

6-2 at best IMO... which hasn't won the west since 2007.

Splitting the four true road games is best case scenario... 5-3 is a real possibility.

We should go 4-0 OOC so I think most would be extremely pleased with 5-3. That would continue an upward trend under Bielema.

If a coach doesn't make it to ATL within their first three seasons, odds are they'll never win a conference title... the only one to do it is Fulmer, I believe.

Granted, that doesn't really mean shite... beliema could be the second.

every situation is different therefore every coach should be judged differently.

bert walked into a very bad situation. not every coach can be gus and walk into a loaded roster at his every stop.

The second Fulmer?


Needs more cheeseburgers and Krispy Kreme for that to happen.

Agreed. I like playing in Dallas but not permanently. I'd like a reason to go to College Station sometime.

Funny how that narrative changed after the season in 2013. I recall many stating how untalented the AU roster was. I have a feeling someone with the desire to find out could find some posts from you as being one of them.
