Georgia in 2016 lost 45-14 to an Ole Miss team that finished 5-7. Two weeks later, Ole Miss lost to Arkansas 34-30. Georgia lost to Vandy 16-17 that same year. The next year LSU lost to Troy 24-21.
I had a relative who was a high school coach that told me that people make fun of the Sunbelt and don't understand is that the physical differences between the the Sunbelt and the SEC are little. They can still beat any SEC team if they aren't playing hard or just having a bad game.
Arkansas isn't a Sunbelt team but the point is that Arkansas is capable of beating any of those 10 teams on the schedule if the circumstances are just right.
Sam Pittman unlike the Chad will have his team playing hard and if any team on the schedule doesn't play hard then they will lose.

Wow, dude. You need to take a step back. I made a bold prediction because it was fun and there’s not much going on with SEC sports right now. Next thing I knew a lizard poster was trolling Georgia fans and had them riled up. You are confusing me with a Florida person - not cool.
Yeah, because doing exactly what I said is not something you have done over and over again. You run around trying to rile up fan bases then step back and act surprised that anyone would accuse you of doing exactly that. You do know people can look up your post history, right?
quote:Really curious. Why would it be "karmic justice"?
I just think Arkie gets 1 win this season and think it would be karmic justice if that win was Georgia.
quote:Are you saying you have not gone after other schools? Please don't make me go through your post history and show everybody exactly that.
Besides, if I really wanted to get people riled up, it’s easier to go after LSU fans. Georgia is low hanging fruit but still much lower yield than LSU.
As I said. People like you don't make me mad or even ruffle me. I just love to call them out on their hypocrisy.

Excellent point. When was the last year Arkansas won 5 games? Wow. 2016.
CAN Arkansas beat Georgia? yes. As you pointed out, anybody can beat anybody. (South carolina beat us last year.) But is it likely that a team that competes for the playoffs every year has a bad loss in back to back years?
Hey, I love Pittmman and hope he turns Arkansas around quickly. But I just wouldn't ever predict Georgia losing to Arkansas based off some 4 year old games.
quote:He might. But you don't know how the team will respond. This is Pittman's first year as a HC. Like I said...I hope he has great success, but what are you basing this statement on? I thought Morris was a great hire. Turns out he wasn't.

He wasn't a good hire. He had a losing record at SMU. A lot of hog fans wanted Mike Norvell but something happened and Arkansas passed. Arkansas botched the hiring process by spending too much time with Malzahn when it was obvious that he was using Arkansas to get more money out of Auburn.
When that failed as predicted, Arkansas had no plan b and hired Chad right after AD Hunter Yuracheck was hired.
Chad got on wrong side of the team when he told them that he wouldn't be here if you guys were any good. So yeah it from bad to terrible. The North Texas game is a good example of poor effort, bad coaching and boo birds raining on Chad for leaving an interception prone quarterback in too long. The only game they played hard was Ole Miss game. The last five or so games of the first season, they quit. The next season, they quit in the second half of the schedule as well.
Chad was toxic and the team are happy he is gone.

Don't bet all of your trailer rent money on that happening.

I think you are better off with Pittman than Malzahn. Like I said. I really like Pittman. I hope he does well.
quote:While technically a true statement, it isn't something that will make the players want to play hard for him.

Like I said...I have nothing against Arkansas and wish you well. My dad was from a small town in Arkansas. Magnolia.

Sick of people making Arkansas the victim of attacks, ridicules, and insults!

Then beat Georgia and it will stop. I, for one, am rooting for the pigs against the barkers.

Malzahn has it out for Arkansas since he was rejected multiple times as a potential candidate as early as 2007.
He wouldn't do any better than what Nutt did here. If you take away his first season at Auburn then it comes close to being average. I wasn't a fan and Arkansas wasted so much time going after the past.
Pittman will do well here and certainly better than what the Chad did here.
I would have kept Bert another year if the Chad was that bad. But Bert was burned out and I believe he was expecting the axe. The 2017 team gave up when it obvious they weren't going bowling. However it wasn't near as toxic as the next two years as they quitting from the very first game.
They could have hired someone who is more qualified than Chad as Arkansas was in better shape then than now. However being Gus 1.5 was enough to convince incompetent leaders to pull the trigger.

What went down in 2012-13? Auburn and Ark both had openings, y'all got Bert and they got Gus.

Bert wrote a love letter to Jeff Long and pretty much was a suck up.
I thought it was going to be Mike Gundy from all the reports. I wanted Chris Peterson. But out of the blue was Bert.
I thought it was a good hire at the time but something fishy was going on. Bert won the Big 10 and just left. Both fan bases were puzzled as why he would leave Wisconsin. But I believe he was catching a lot of heat for not winning the big games. A possibility he was getting content and could be fired if couldn't elevate the program.
So he jumped and Jeff Long didn't care and Arkansas wasn't smart enough to understand they landed a fraud.

His assistant coaches weren't getting paid enough and were getting poached by other schools who would pay more. He went to an SEC school because he knew the AD would pay whatever he wanted.
And he was right. Look at the contract he got for going 7-6 in 2014.

That was his excuse but he left Wisconsin before his seat started to get warm. He was smart enough to leave while he still had the chance.
That contract was a huge blunder and one of the reasons Jeff Long is not here today. A contract extension after 2-14 in conference play? We get what we deserved.
