We need more talent and experience at LB

this team would look sooooo much different with even average SEC talent at LB. We have Sun Belt talent there right now

A&M basically threw at Ellis all night

Problem with what you propose is to get funded it will have to be a minority led entity serving minorities.

I think you'd want a diverse team on any proposal, sure. But that doesn't mean the PI would have to be a minority. Co-PIs could work (one minority, one non). But yes, having someone in urban education or someone who works with child resiliency and/or educational psychology would be a must. And that's not a bad thing at all. Of course, other leadership opportunities exist as well (psychometrics, curriculum development, kinesiology/human growth & development, etc.).

Any minority led non-profit in Arkansas, not located in NW Arkansas will eventually be found to have been a sham and a personal play account for the most likely black individuals running said non-profit.

Non-profits wouldn't be involved. This would be a university-led initiative; and trust me when I say UofA's IRB office and Office of Research and Sponsored Programs would never allow for shady activities. The university has far too many irons in the research fire all across campus to allow a rogue professor to misbehave. That's the hell of university research--insane oversight. But in this case, however, it sounds like it'd be a good thing.

Urban League just started up again in NWA with a fat $70,000 check from Walmart. I wonder how long it'll take to find out that the money gets squandered and/or stolen by the UL's leaders.

Again, no non-profits invited. Just university, LEAs, superintendents, community college folks, etc.

Just something to chew on for the future.

I suppose the location and school district situations in Arkansas are not ideal for Razorback football.

But look at old Bill Snyder at K-State. Any of y'all ever been to Manhattan? I was stationed near there in the Army for a year. It is located way out in the middle of nowhere. I'm serious.

But Snyder seems to be able to get the job done there. Actually, he's the only one to ever succeed there.

Sure, the Hogs can it done. It just takes the right man. I have no idea on whether or not Bielema is said man. His style of play doesn't leave alot of margin for error, though.

If any team loses its top running back, top fullback, top three recievers to injury...and graduates its top 3 defensive players to the NFL...they are going to feel it. Arkansas isn't deep enough yet.

Truth is...the loss to Toledo was inexcusable and I'll make no excuse for it, but we got caught by a team playing their Super Bowl and we lost.

Tech is a good team. They had TCU beat all but a fluke TD catch. We had A&M beat with all the above injuries. The season isn't going to be what was hoped for, but the team and program are still improving and going stong.

I'm still skipping a couple of road games, but...I don't think the coaching is an issue. I really don't.

go back to the winning formula from every good Hawg season. Find yourself a stable of beasts(McFadden, Kniles, Hillis, Felix) and Scrappy players on D.

Talent isnt the problem at Arkansas. It usually isnt.

The top 22 at Arkansas can go toe to toe with everyone in the league. Id say most all teams in the league are this way. We all have SEC caliber starters. The problem is depth, we arent the only ones that suffer from this, and its a bigger deal in this league than in any others.

Injuries depleted a team that doesn't have a lot of depth. Helped torpedo thier 2015 season. Still, that doesn't explain Toledo.

I don't think the Hogs were mentally up for Toledo. When they realized they were in a fight, they couldn't flip the switch.

Probably a similar deal with Tech, since they abused them last year. These aren't robots you know, they're 20 yr old kids.

The Hogs looked ready to play on Saturday. I bet they give a strong effort in Knoxville.

This is exactly the problem. Arky culture sucks and cannot be allowed to achieve.

Gold-plated rims on your '92 Cutlass and a mouth full of diamonds isn't getting you into the country club. You act like you've been there before when it is excruciatingly obvious to all present that you haven't. Now valet my car, bitch.

Bert is a moron. He left Wisconsin, where he had been to/won BCS bowls and was a competitor in the top ten every year, for Arkansas, a literal dumpster fire that was ruined in about the preceding two years. And he did so claiming that his chances for a national title were better at Arkansas.
