at what point do you go for every fourth down and run trick plays every snap
when LSU has sucked id rather go full meme and lose by 50 than "hang with" the other team and shave field goals

Arkansas is not a top 20 team historically....


You know a lot of people don't realize this because when people are discussing college football, no one really thinks about Florida anymore, but they've lost five more games than they've won the last five years.

So as much as your pride hates to admit it, you're pretty much in the boat with us,

waiting for basketball season.

It will be a late night game.

So everyone will be headed to bed and will not have to see the shitshow.

I think they will. First games are always a crapshoot. South Carolina almost lost to Old Dominion 2 years ago and ended up having our best season in a decade. You just never know.

It's weird considering that Arkansas is now relegated to being almost an automatic win for a school like Utah.

They're literally like the old Vanderbilt or Rice.

I don't have a good feeling about our QB, but the main area where we failed to dominate against an "FCS" team Saturday was our O-line vs their D-Line.

But their D-line was not FSC, it was FBS Memphis. The quality control manager for Memphis left for N. Alabama and took almost the entire Memphis D-line with him, five players.

Based on that, I'm confident we can still win 3

I can see a 45-17 game.

They were competitive last year thanks to the offense.

This year, I don't see the offense being good enough to be competitive.

ARKANSAS could get a top coach.
They didn't say no because, AR. They said no because there is no NIL commitment.

You get 80 million in NIL commitment guaranteed, a full support of a newly created good booster program that excludes the current BOD from decisions.
Get that nasty looking, sounding Otis Kirk away from your recruits and their families. That guy is like the mental picture of some Arkansan living in a trailer without indoor plumbing.
I bet he's scared off many potential players

You do this and you can get good coach.

They picked and had committed to silverfield long before anyone else knew, without trying to find a good coach. They took the easy, lazy way of getting mediocrity without any commitment.

Sorry, man. I know it sucks being so bad. I felt that way in the 90s with curly Hallman as our head coach.

Arkansas did put more money into NIL.

It's still at the bottom of the SEC.

The lack of NIL and the prestige of the job was enough for them to say no.

Arkansas did interview many coaches before Silverfish.

It went as expected.

They need to win.

Being competitive only got them 2-10.

Get big NEA money in NIL


Some of the problem is NW Arkansas said they didn't need the rest of the state anymore. NIL let them know they do, but they haven't figured out how to mend those fences. This isn't Silverfield's fault, but the tards are going to blame him.

We've mostly been shite since 2011. Top coaches aren't taking that call from Yurachek. NIL or not, Hog fans are going to need to be realistic and let Silverfield have time to build a program or open up their wallets and help buy players.

Arkansas put more money in NIL
- a little, and no commitment, it was token amount of money.

Those interviews went bad because AR refused to put NIL up.

If I offer you $1,000 for your mint condition 1964 corvette. I guess I could tell people people you turned down a lot of money

Florida had a great run under Steve Spurrier, just like Arkansas had a great run under Broyles and Holtz.

but it's over.

Your last SEC championship was in 2008. Is that not correct?

Arkansas fans realize that our glory days in football are probably behind us for the near future.

If you are representative of the average Florida fan, why are Florida fans having such a hard time with acceptance?

We both have other sports where we are competitive, even excelling in.

You should be content with that.
