re: Arkansas vs Mithithippi State Vent thread.

I haven't allowed myself to buy in to the hype of close games and moral victories etc. this year bc,...well, I've been an AR fan for a long time and I know better.

My son, he's 8, loves stats. He tells me before games why we are going to win based on how we should have already beaten 2 of the 3 top 5 teams we've played, referencing stats etc.

Anyhow, the groundwork for this blowup was laid against AL. We have the ball in 4th qtr with a chance to win BA throws int. he wasn't happy, but he doesn't get too excited or too down ever.

Now this game comes along. #1 team away game. We have the ball and at least a chance to force ot or win. A couple of bad passes. Henry comes up big. 1st and 10 from the 16yd line!! He looks at me and says, "See?..I told you." And then, BA throws int on the next play. I felt terrible for him. If I had a video of the blow up he had, it would have made the ole miss girl look normal.

So, I can see the hurt for younger AR fans, but just like a roller coaster, we are at the bottom right now...on the way up. This was the best explanation I could give him.
