Western Kentucky this past year to guarantee Chaggie would get canned.

Yes, when Billy the Drunk was coaching the team.

Yes. In 2003 against Clemson. The year they beat us 63-17. I wanted them to hang 100 on us because I was sick of Lou Holtz at that point and was ready for a change in the program.

Eggbowl this yeae, but really really wanted to lose Egg bowl Matt Likes interim year. Not just because of the possibility of resting luke but also because Brown may have come back for his senior year had he not gone off in Starkville his sophomore year

I was elated when our guys got out hustled/outplayed/beaten in our house by little ole Norfolk State.
Most of us thought going in, lose that 1 & Avery would be released from his incompetence.

When it got to within 1 score against Kansas in 2016, I can't say I was too thrilled about where the Charlie regime was headed.

Had to root extra hard against them for 5-6 tcu the Thanksgiving that followed, because I was terrified what the reaction would be if the players carried Strong off the field after a win just to finish 6-6.

After Rick Barnes was completely demolished by OU at home his last season, can't say I was too big in his corner any longer after that.

Yep. Pelphrey's last two years. I think Bielemas last year, but I hated that arrogant fricker from the start. And Chad Morris against Western Kentucky. I wanted Ty Story to light his arse up.

Sad to say, but yes. When wanting to get rid of Whistle Britches Dooley - which we did, thank goodness. Maybe a basketball coach or two, like Cuonzo but not sure.

Yes... the end of the Ray Goff era.

I became pretty jaded from 2015-2016, but I never wanted them to lose. I mostly would just make jokes about our team in order to "steal the thunder" before an opposing fan could make the joke.

Yes, in 2012 I wanted the Cheifs to keep losing at the end of the season so we would fire Scott Pioli and get the #1 pick.

I'm glad it happened because Eric Fisher panned out better than most drafted early in the first round in 2013.

Also, getting Andy Reid after Crennel was fired was an additional bonus, but that would have happened even if we won the last 4 or so

Sadly, yes. I wanted Ty Storey to come back to Fayetteville, and end Chad Morris’ tenure as head coach of the Razorbacks, and that is just what happened.


And it was delicious. Never felt better after a blowout loss
