I decided that since others are admitting their frustrations with this season, I will bite the bullet and announce mine, too.

1. I thought we would be better than this. After the disillusionment and sheer pain of last season under JLS, I expected a better grasp of what this season would look like among our fans. Even the other SEC coaches get it. We are a paper thin team with a new QB and the worst back 7 in the SEC learning new systems on both sides of the ball with an entirely new staff. Of course we aren't going to be very good. I really thought Razorback fans understood this reality. I guess not.

2. I am also frustrated that we can't have a real conversation about actual football. Try it and see how fast the Jeff Long haters, Bobby buddies, and the "I told you we should have hired Gus/Art/Gruden" trolls shart up your thread. Throw in the "We can't out Bama Bama" fringe and the "Recruiting sucks, it really really sucks" crowd and you whole discussion turns to dog crap by post 5. It sure would be nice to actually talk about football.

3. Patience. The "me" generation thinks good thinks come to those who whine incessantly, so the mewling started from the moment CBB was hired. Toss in those posters who just want to stir the pot hoping to get Long fired, and you have toxic stew of "FireBert beginning in the Samford game. Barring perfectly aligned stars and a reasonable schedule, all rebuilds take time. A little patience is necessary or you (and everyone around you) are miserable. Because you are miserable, you act like a prick. I wish I could kick you impatient bastards in the scrotum until your head popped off. It takes time to build a sustainable program. If you want consistent contention, the frisking shut up your whining and give CBB time.

Sincerely,
Almost ashamed to be associated with other Hog fans
