haha I was scrambling to figure out what the hell happened. Didn't know if this was Dana Altman 2.0 going on.

We’re going to suck again on defense because we don’t have any safeties. This team was built better than Sam would’ve done it but we still clearly don’t have the funds to compete with the top of the sport.

I would not go that far.

Most of the portal haul has been on the defensive side of the ball, including two safeties who are the 42nd and 63rd ranked safeties in the portal. Do need to add some depth there.

What makes you say that? Arkansas currently has the #9 portal class according to On3.

2025 Portal Ranking: #58
2024 Portal Ranking: #39

On paper, that defense should be LIGHT YEARS better than last year!

This is the prerequisite to be an Arkansas sports fan, if you aren't broken, you will be broken

I really held on until we brought Sam back from 4-8. After that I’ve turned into Arhog. Just laugh at the slop shite we’re fed.

If you really have turned into ARHog, be sure to add the emojis laughing at your own posts.

I'm giving him a chance, but I cringe every time he uses "all in". I mean, that's absolutely the most generic slogan/catchphrase a coach could possibly come up with.

I’d rather it be something used a lot elsewhere where they “crank that jukebox”

It still depresses me to this day that we were denied more Club Dub action than we got. That could have been the gift that kept on giving for years.

So back to the portal.... who is left that we are after? My last 2 days have been swamped and I haven't been able to keep up like last week?

Feels like another lineman or two on both sides wouldn't hurt....
