Arkansas is 12-25 over the last 3 seasons. The fact that they're 10 is equal parts ridiculous and unreal

Schedule sets up well? Check (it's tough, but as far as how it's setup it's perfect).

How so?



Stolen from hogville:

quote:

Outside of the double SEC road trips and just the overall strength of course of the league...I really like our schedule, or at least how it sets up.

We play two very similar offenses to A&M in Toledo and TT the 2 weeks before we play them so game prep and pace of play on the field will have us prepared as we enter SEC play.

Tenn plays UF the week before us and plays UGA the week after us so we couldn't be in any better of a spot on their schedule.

Bama plays at UGA the week before us so that will be hard physical game for them

Then we get a bye week and get AU and then get UT martin and then OM. Which basically means we will have 2 weeks to prepare for AU and then two weeks to prepare for OM, who we play after UT Martin. On top of that we will be Ole Miss' TENTH CONSECUTIVE GAME as they don't go on a bye until the week after they play us and play A&M and AU the two weeks before us so our physical style of play will be a stark contrast to their two previous games as well as should wear on their tired bodies

We will then get both LSU and MSU the week AFTER they play bama. So after playing the physical game against bama they have no time to rest up before we pound on them again. They also both play OM the week after us which is both huge rivals for them as well.

then we come home for Mizzou...

by this logic the 2013 auburn football team should've been terrible



So you guys got an entirely new coaching staff?

No we got a coach who was completely different than the previous so he had to start building from the ground up which takes a few years. The vagina in a visor walked into a perfect situation with HIS type of players at Auburn. You can always tell the football fan from the team fan by their comments.

So basically Arky's entire season hopes rest on getting Bama's sloppy seconds?

2 Conference Wins in the last 2 years, Check
Auburn went 0-8 in the SEC the year before going to the Natty. You're in denial if you don't think Arkansas isn't going to continue their trend with all we have coming back. Bunch of "Bama and LSU rejects" just put together the #10 total defense in the country last year.

I have to admit that it's been odd watching Auburn fluctuate this preseason. You're either predicted to win everything or finish last. A&M has been similar, but not as drastic.

This is some computer generated garbage. I don't care if LSU is slotted in the top 5. I'll wait for the actually preseason poll, which is done by the SID's and not some damn computer.


It may be garbage, but what SID's think is worth even less. Most of them don't know as much as the average SECR poster. Their opinion is meaningless.

That's actually a pretty reasonable wrap-up. You do know it means there are no excuses for y'all this year though, right?

True, but I think you'll find that most Arkansas fans think we're receiving a little too much credit.
