He deserves one more freebie and then he should be held accountable for mediocrity. He's only won 1 more tournament game than John Pelphrey did in his 5 years.

Patience will be key this year, pundits are picking us to finish from the middle to the bottom of the SEC.

Edited to say: middle to the bottom, since I’ve seen us ranked as high a 6th and as low as 10th in the SEC.

Tournament 2 of the last 3 years, getting out of the first round in both, and finishing top 3 in SEC.

I'd say that is good progress myself.

And what pundits? We're top 25 on Fox and picked 6th by media.

What standard: Hog fan base of today or the standard of the Eddie Sutton/Nolan era?

It'll probably be another 25+ win season and we will probably still hear the same shite after the season is over.

I'm looking forward to the season and glad we have Anderson here.

I can see this team making a sweet 16ish run this year. I think the X factors are Bailey and Jones. If they can show progression from last year and keep our freshmen bigs from having to play a ton of minutes early this team could make a run at a SEC title. If not then we could struggle early. We are experienced in the back court and that usually translates to wins.
I'm kind of liking that we aren't getting over-hyped right now.

This team is going to be SALTY.

Can't wait. Gafford could be better than Portis. Higher motor and more athletic.

I think we are all going to enjoy watching Gafford finish around the rim.


Speaking of, this team may have more highlight reel dunks than any team since the Qualls days.

Gafford reminds me of Kevin Garnette.

Let's all hope he ends up being that good. If he is, this team will be hard to stop.

why do you post shite like this? I haven't seen anyone pick Arkansas to finish 8th or worse. just spouting off doom to say I told you so for your own ego is pretty lame.

Any why do it right before the season starts? Can we not have a valid reason to be sour/depressed/pissed at our teams before we get sour/depressed/pissed at our team?

Pigfeet- don't make me come after you.

He has also won more games than any other SEC coach except Cal over the last three years.

Only a fool would want to replace that. Lol

I think the value of Beard's weight loss is going to be huge.

Should be a lot closer to his freshman year and will be a heck of a veteran guard.

I think his dad helped screw his head on straight after the trouble.

"Boy, you're a 5-8 guard that can't shoot, you're not going to the NBA, get your shite together"

I can't even express how big a deal it is to have three seniors in your back court. Especially when two of them are sure fire NBA level talents in Barford and Macon. Those guys are going to play a whole lot better this year, all three of them.

Hogs figure to be pretty damn good by anyone's standard this year.
