Disappointed that we couldn't end the Bert/Chad embarrassment to Aggie... Sure.

Upset. Not at all. I think I'm as proud of the team and coaches as I have been all year.

It's the best offensive output of the season against a very quality, and talented team.

The defense was obviously weakened with the Catalon loss, but at least those guys never let go of the rope, even though they were getting burnt all night.

For whatever reason, this D is remarkable against spread teams and not so great against traditional, power running teams. Good thing basically everyone runs a spread now, I guess.

Bama is a loss, we all know that. But with the fight this team has, we will be in every game the rest of the year, and that includes Florida.

Franks has his flaws, mostly holding onto the ball too long, but that dude has heart. I'd play with him any day.

The turnaround in mindset of this team is beyond anything I ever imagined.

They are not the most talented bunch on paper (although they do have quite a bit) but man those dudes want it and they are mentally and physically ready.

After the game, especially the no-quit they showed in the 4th qtr, I thought of only a single quote by Lincoln. When it was known and ovbvious that Grant was a drunkard and may have well been discharged in another time for his conduct, the commander-in-chief could least afford to outcast this man. I his explaination to overlook these personal faults and instead keep Grant, the 16th president only had this to say:

"I cannot spare this man. He fights."

An apt phrase indeed on this night in the Arkansas Football program.

This is what I’ve been saying. We’re too small on defense, and can’t generate a pass rush on top of that, to go against a power run team with a great OL. This game has always been a loss on my schedule because A&M plays a type of ball that this defense can’t stop even with Odom’s magic.

Yep, the A&M game was a very bad match up. Tennessee is similar in alot of ways but thankfully they are not nearly as good as a team.

Tennessee is a poor man's Aggie right now and Garantano is a bad version of Mond.

Of we can get to 30+ points on Tennessee without the benefit of turnover and 2 misses FGs, I think we win.

Tenner is in desperation mode though. And that could make things interesting if they fight for their coach. If they don't, I can see their whole season going down the drain.

I would assume the line is Going yo be extremely close. I can even see Tenn being a 1-3 pt favorite.

I don't think Vegas things much of Arkansas.

I would be fine if we didn't win another game and just competed well the rest of the season. We have the buy in that we need with these coaches. I think we are still are couple of years away personnel wise from being able to expect real contention in the west.

Hopefully Tenner won't have a good day. Have a chance against them. After that, if A&M's TE can have that kind of a day against us I don't even wanna see what Trask and Pitts can do.

Still think we can pull at least 1 more win for sure out of this schedule. Hell 4-6 might be enough to get us a bowl game
