Just damned if I do and damned if I don’t aren’t I?

Tell you what. What do you think I should think? What should my opinion be so I’m right?

I’ve not been vocally criticizing this coaching staff nor really the team for that matter at all this year.

Are you just looking for conflict? I’m not in the mood today, the 15 miles this morning took it out of me.

If you don't see that we're getting better every week, you aren't watching the games. Which honestly it wouldn't surprise me at all if you don't.

You could probably start off by not expecting two camps to be enough to completely change an offensive philosophy that's been integrated for 5 years in a program.

Not at all. You just seem to not have a very firm grasp on what's realistic to expect out of a staff that's in the position that ours is. Your very own statement was we should be 3-3 based on what you've seen the last few weeks. The problem with that is what you've seen the last few weeks is a product of game reps, film breakdown, and experience that the players could never have gained in the offseason. It's also the product of more practice time and finally solidifying a starting QB. To say "well we're this good now so we should have always been this good." is illogical.

Am I disappointed and do I think the talent is there for us to be three and three? Yes.

Do I think we’re improving every week. Also yes.

Does Chad Morris get paid enough and is a grown enough man to take my very mild criticism of not having the team prepared to beat two group of five teams. Hell yes.

There were turds on here calling for Red Bull’s head after Colorado State. I was not one of them. There’s about three million reasons why I think he should have had this team better prepared but first seasons a pass anyhow so I expect we shouldn’t have to have this conversation next October.

I understand the disappointment. I wasn't happy with the Colorado State loss either, but progress is only as fast as the speed in which the players grasp all of the new changes. I just don't think it's realistic to expect flawless or even good execution from week 1 of year 1 when you overhaul an entire staff, change the offensive philosophy to a polar opposite scheme, switch the defense from a 3-4 back to a 4-3, and have a QB battle of "who sucks less?" going through all of fall camp on top of inheriting a roster that really just isn't all that talented. Coaches can teach until they drop but it's on the players to grasp it and execute. If Ty Storey isn't a dumpster fire against Colorado State, we win that game. This is after him getting first string reps all week and being prepared as the starter going into the game. The coaches set him up to succeed. I just don't see that as falling on the coaches. In the end some things just take time.

I think Arkansas looked like everyone else that has faced bama, but gashed bama unlike anyone else.

Take from it what you like.

Believe this was the most points given up in SEC play for Arkansas since Auburn 2010.

So Bama scores their season high while giving up a season high in points.

The TOP was basically even.

Dale and stone are being intentionally obtuse. They were both 2 of bielemas biggest supporters to the bitter end. They both love mike Anderson and think he deserves a lifetime contract and both hate DVH. Just ignore them

Everyone on their schedule thus far has done a better job than Arkansas did last Saturday.

No one has put up more points including Ole Miss and aggy who are thought to be 2 of the better offenses in the SEC.

I think people are a little too excited about a 30 point loss because we all thought it possibly would be 60 to 0.

This is such bullshite. I hope Dave is our AD someday. Mike will get a fair shake with Yurachek, if he doesn't produce he's gone. As for Bielema, he was never able to get the team or the fans to buy in after Mizzou and Virginia Tech.

That's when I jumped of the Bert wagon. The terrible OL recruiting was always a worry for me, but I personally felt he recruited well in most other positions. Seeing now that WR and QB recruiting was lacking too.

I really like Mike and hope he gets it going him this season. He's had enough time to build a consistent program. It should show. If we struggle again then he needs to feel the heat.

I think most people gave him a pass after Mizzou because yes it was shitty, but we went 7-5 instead of 8-4. Not a huge deal. But the Virginia Tech game, being up 24-0 and losing was the last straw. Hard to have much enthusiasm after ending the season like that. Bo tried his hardest to convince people we should have been 9-3, but no one was buying it.

I’ll bite again. Hell, I’m just down here on the redneck riviera waiting to see if I have to cut my vacation short and head back to Arkansas.

Vs Ole Piss is a critical game to measure how much, if any, this team has improved or turned the corner.

OM is putting up big offensive numbers and we’re not.

They haven’t stopped a decent team and yet we haven’t scored much against decent competition.


Will fans get off the golf course and get into tWardump?

Will our back 7 give up 50+ and our offense only score 30?


All questions that might be answered on Saturday.

I’m calling this game to be our tipping point game, we win, Chadillac might be getting this thing figured out.

I think the most important matchup is our defensive line vs their offensive line. if were disruptive we will have a chance. If not well you saw what elite wide outs can do to us
