Ark fans; I know your season imploded when Wilson went out of the ULM game and then lost the next 3. I understand the competition has been a little weak but still you are on a 2 game win streak and seem to be playing pretty well on Offense and defense.
I think you will beat Ole Miss, Tulsa, MSU and have a good shot at beating USCe(y'all have pretty much owned them recently) and you get LSU at home. Say you finish the season on a 6-1 run finishing at 7-5. (I think you can do all that but realistically 6-6 is where I think the record ends)
Get a good coach hired and things would look 100 times better than it did a few weeks ago. How would regard the season? One that could have been great if BP didn't frick up and pissed off even more or do you just not give a frick either way?
Au Fans:
Very similar questions: I think you beat Vandy, NMST, A.A&M and could beat A & M. Say you win those three and somehow manage to beat UGA and finish the reg season 6 & 6.
Chizick could claim to have met expectations every year on the plains except for this year but finishing the season on a 5-1 run would be huge. Plus at 6 & 6 you might get a bowl invite.
Would you be willing to give Chiz the benefit of the NC year and realize the new OC & DC in year 2 should be better? Recruiting class sticks and you should be in a good position to truely compete in a few years? I remember when he was hired Au fans claimed it would take 4+ years for him to fix Tubs mess maybe it's 5 years?

Arky can't get enough D to beat us at home.

I'm thinking 8-4 and 2nd in the west after the typical Miss State, South Carolina and LSU implosions.
Maybe 3rd if LSU starts imploding early.
However this season would have had at best a 3 game swing with Petrino here as coach. The main goal would have still been out of reach because of our defensive dumpster fire.
Injuries have been an extra killer though and things may have gone differently if we didn't lose half our defense, our QB, our TE, our starting fullback and our backup fullback.
Either way though we've been in full on coach speculation mode since the ULM game.

Considering we were a top-10 team in the preseason I'd still be pretty bummed looking back on a 7-5 record.

Don't give a frick either way, we didn't fire the defense, we fired Petrino. The team would be 5-2 with Petrino.

i would be very proud of the players and honestly be fine with the season if that happened. after those 4 losses, i really wasn't expecting to win another game, much less play pretty decent and with heart as we have the past 2 games.
i'm over, way over petrino, and am looking forward to a new coach.

i think we will win out, Miss State, will be our toughest game.

Looking forward to a new coach has helped take a lot of sting out of the bad season so far.
I think we have an outside shot at making a bowl, but it depends on which team shows up.
We have played a ton of freshman this year which can only help in the future.
It all depends on who the new coach is at the end of the season to determine how bad the season really was. IMO

I like your optimism, but Ole Miss, USCe, MSU, and LSU will give us fits. At this point, winning out wouldn't surprise me, but neither would losing out.
I just want to put this season to bed, and move on. Next year could be worse, three coaches in three years will take its toll.

If AU can accomplish this, they should give Chizik an extension.

I don't care if he wins out and beats Bama - Fisher, Davis, or Strong (or Gruden, lulz) better be on that sideline when we play Wazzu.

If Chiz finishes 6-6, he will be back. 5-6 might get it done as well, but might not IMO.

Arky..a school of "firsts"
1) First to lose to OSU in a bowl game
2) First to lose to Texas A&M as a member of the SEC
3)First to come back and finish 2nd in the SEC west after losing to ULM and Rutgers.

LSU will be our only test...But, you gotta beat OM first. You lose that game and I bet they mail it in...
We'll get a good coach

I think the chances of AU going 6-6 are only slightly better than us finishing 7-5.
Which is to say, .0000001 > 0.
We go 4-8 at the absolute very best, which would mean we beat the two patsies and split Vandy and TAMU. No way we win all 4 of those games.
I'm hoping I'll have better things to do by the time UGa and Bama roll around.
As for Arky, it is funny that the same fans who gave their team up for dead are suddenly making bowl plans after beating two of the worst SEC teams in the past 20 seasons.
