We don't cover spreads... Fact


Eh, I wouldn't touch this game one way or the other...but we've covered more often than not this year.

We are actually pretty damn good as the underdog.

That's because we usually win when we aren't favored.

Should I fly back to Vegas and return the money I won on LSU for the ULM game?


No, be smart and don't bet on this game, regardless, keep your money and enjoy knowing you robbed Vegas.

Lsu's O can lose them any game. Lsu's D can win them any game. The exact opposite of the Hogs. the line should be the standard Hogs -3 because of home.

I'll be coming up to Little Rock, I need some advice on what to do, where to tailgate and one of ya'lls place to tailgate. Thanks.
Our D has actually not lost us any games this year... I know everyone will point to the Auburn game, but 30 of those points were off of offensive or special teams miscues. Besides, it's Auburn. No one has stopped Newton yet.

edit: and I'll add that we're in the top half of SEC defenses

The question will be whether we force Mallett to move in the pocket. If we make him dance around, he'll throw a couple of picks. If we don't, Arky will score 28+.

The other question is whether Arkansas will be able to stop our running game. I think they're capable of stacking the box and forcing us to throw the ball.

It's in Little Rock. I'm pessimistic about this game. I would probably take LSU to cover and lose, but I can easily see the other side. Overall, like other posters have said, stay away from this game.

Arkansas is a different team ever since we started featuring Knile Davis at RB (about 4 games ago). He is averaging 7.2 yards/carry and has allowed us to convert 3rd downs. If Petrino wasn't so stubborn playing B. Green early in the year we would have beaten Bama going away. K Davis had 50 yards on 7 carries...should have had 20-25 carries.

I have no idea what to expect out of my team. I was 95% sure we would get curbstomped by South Carolina but instead we dominated them.

I don't think MSU is capable of enough pressure to get to Mallett consistently. We'll put up 30+ points easily.

Also remember that the LSU game will be Mallett's last and the team knows it.

Actually the game is your D vs. the LSU O, and if you can stop the run.

Tuna,

as far as tailgating goes, the stadium is surrounded by a public golf course. The course will be about 97% covered with tailgaters. It is the most insane tailgating you will see in college football. I've been to just about every SEC school for games and none compare to the tailgating atmosphere in Little Rock.

The stadium only holds about 55,000 people, but there will be another 30k+ outside tailgating on the golf course the entire game.

As long as you are respectful, you will be welcome at the majority of the tailgates at the game. We really are nice folks, but have had very bad experiences with LSU fans in Little Rock.

I've been to more than two dozen games at War Memorial dating back to the 90's and I like it better than the UA campus venue because you can actually park by the stadium but insane is not the word I would use. War Memorial is fun and all but Tiger Stadium tailgating makes Little Rock look like romper room.

We've had 200,000+ outside the stadium.
