I've been watching your team on Saturdays and ya'll have played with a lot of energy, both sides flying around the field. you looked dead against auburn.

was it just the time in the schedule you needed a rest?

I am in shock about what happened. i'm sure not as much as you.

I'd buy that as an excuse if it was competive early but then got away from them... but it was 21-0 in the first quarter... and we KICKED OFF.

They shouldn't have wasted so much energy trying to jump up and down on the logo.
Fat Bert's exercise habits must be rubbing of on his team.

You guys have really bought-in to the narrative of "Les Miles is a bad coach". Hope it pays off for you.

Had to be some battle fatigue. But AU jumping out to a 21-0 start early took all of the wind out of the flagship. They laid down after that and never got back up.

I think they had to be tired after that stretch and emotional win, but our defense has been bad against the run all year which is very disappointing.

It didn't help that auburn was coming in rested and playing sky high.Plus they have better talent.

Oh well, no excuses needed, our team took a good old fashion butt whipping..it happens

Arkansas had given up more rushing TDs than any SEC team before playing us. Couple that with AUs very good defense and great rushing attack and 500+ yards rushing happens.

you don't get it. we all agree that les had his good qualities as a head coach, but he was too stubborn to adapt.

if coach O had been at the helm, ya'll would probably be curled up in a fetal position right now and Gus would still be saying "this is a good team and we're gonna get better," and you're chances of making a bowl would be 50-50.

I can agree with this to a certain degree.

But overall they did not match up well with AU at all. Their OL is a mishmash and not very good. Their D Line is soft and their LB's are either real young or bad. Their depth is worse than when Bert came in which is surprising and something Bert needs to fix, and for that reason I can accept fatigue being the 8th game and on the road.

Arky probably needed a bye. They had played ATM, Bama and OM back to back. One of their LBs and leading tacklers waa out too. AU was coming off a bye. AU stronger at los anyway, so those factors made it even worse. Perfect storm for AU to totally dominate los on both sides of ball. Tone/momentum set on AU's first TD run and Arky was not equipped to change it.

They mailed it in after the first 2 touchdowns.

Been a while seen I've seen a team quit like that...






never mind. LSU made Ole Miss quit

Too many homecoming BJ's from fatties and celebration sex from the Ole Miss win.

Old boxing trainers say sex before a fight zaps the legs.


I've been saying for years that there's too many fat chicks on campus and girls in Fayetteville that move up here from shithole small towns around Arkansas.

The little redneck towns in Arkansas send their finest chicks up here for school and to sniff out a husband. Our only pro team is the Razorbacks. It's shooting fish in a barrel for an athlete in Fayetteville. Why ya think DMAC has so many kids? We have a lot of players become father while their playing in Fayetteville.

This theory is based in the fact of one of my friend's fat sister based her self worth on being one of C.J. McClain's side pieces. She was not attractive and had some confidence issues but as soon as she started sucking on Razorback athlete peen and likely taking trains she got stuck up and thought she was an OT 9.

Don't think she's ever seen a dollar in child support however, but maybe her kid will be a borderline 3 star that Bert will sign instead of battling the top SEC teams for recruits.

Arky run defense is a sieve against the run. It was pretty likely to happen

Nope, we just can't stop the run. We don't scheme to stop it either. Gus finally got out of his own way and has started taking what the defense gives him. They knew they could run on us and didn't have to do anything else. Also, Auburn's defense isn't too shabby. Watching that game it was obvious that Auburn from top to bottom was and is a better football team than Arkansas this year. No amount of mental gymnastics will change that.

Gus will rape coach O in the sec for many more years
