I like your enthusiasm but with Jim Mora JR. at the helm with no experience next year doesn't seem likely.

I think we'll be easily top 10. I'm more excited about our new DC than I am worried about replacing players on D.

Most everybody thought Arkansas fans were delusional when we said we wouldn't drop off losing Mallett.

Getting Knile Davis back is going to be huge.

We have several talented WRs in the wings waiting to replace what we lost. If we get DGB, we'll probably still have the best WR corps in the SEC next year.

We might, even if we don't get him.

I've predicted this since we signed him but J herndon will do big things before his career is over. Kid was electric in highschool but was hurt his senior year....look at his stats most of his touches were long touchdowns.

Actually I didn't Tyler Wilson is a guy that has always impressed me plus Petrino always has a good QB.

I was more worried about you guys O.line.

But where is the evidence? Where is their experience to back that up?

Dude. They were playing behind Joe Adams and Jarius Wright. Those guys set school records this year.

Cobi Hamilton is back. You might have seen him a time or two.

I'm familiar with our recruits and our redshirts, and the guys who have had limited playing time, and I'm pretty confident that we will end up with the best WR corps in the SEC next year.

I'm not doubting that. It's just not easy for guys to come in and play and have the same impact that as you yourself said set school records.

I won't predict top 3 or anything like that,as I have concerns about our Defense.

That said, I do have a lot more confidence in our new DC than our old one, and that change alone is reason for excitement. Our D in the Cotton Bowl WAS good, and it was different.

I honestly have no worries about our WRs. I know who we have. WR and QB are two positions that Petrino has locked down. Trust.

To be fair we pretty much break the season yardage record every year.However the WR will not be as good as this year. The only proven one we have is Hamilton. However the talent coming in and in the reserves is up to par so I expect pretty good results just not quite the crazy skill of J wright and Adams.

Won't start out top three, but they will have plenty of opportunities to earn a spot up there. Their toughest road game will be USCe so the schedule is pretty favorable. Their O-line MUST play better this season, and that could be helped by K Davis making defenses respect the run more. Also they will need their D-line to step up because that is a key component in all of the Championship SEC teams. I have to say Arky and Bama are really the only teams on LSU's schedule that worry me next year.

But I can't bash you for being optimistic, because Arkansas has finally become a consistent contender in the SEC, instead of the team that sneaks up on you every 4 years or so.

Joe Adams was a beast from the getgo. He came in when we had nothing when Petrino got here. He locked it down.

We have guys who will be similar once they get their chance to go. Blee dat.

I know, no proof. But I feel confident in saying that, just based on my over obsessive watching of spring and fall practices, etc..

It is something different here to see our talent level rising, and actual depth developing on our team.

Weird feeling "good" about our chances more than two seasons in a row.

I think Keante Minor is going to step up big next year. I'm excited to see how he looks in the spring game.

He is paid to win games and make sure the players have good grades while on campus. He doesn't GAF about anything else. Ultimate competitor. It you went 24/30 with 3TD's and no picks then frick you should have went 28/30 and 5 TDs.

Dear sweet jesus. I've got an idiot on my facebook arguing that Arkansas couldn't have even hung with OSU. They apparently would blow us off the field. Also stated how everyone outside the SEC realizes that the Big 12 is the best conference. Also SEC doesn't know how to play offense.


These OSU/OU (whoever is winning bandwagon fricktards) fans are a special breed of retard.


I realize this is off topic but I needed to vent.
