A lot of times people don't realize they are being sexist either. I had to take a class in grad school where I had to make myself a minority for a day, and it couldn't include one I was used to... so I spent the entire day in the inner city. I'll admit, at least at the end of the day, I got to go back to my neighborhood, and the stuff I experienced only lasted for a day. I think people fail to realize that being a minority with a majority holding the power is a different experience.

It also sometimes makes you see things through a racist lens that might not be entirely racist, but again, it's your experience and perspective.

Any other major southern schools have a black bball HC when Arkansas hired Nolan? I'll let you get back to me on that.

I'm sure there are some Melanin Challenged Americans and African Americans (racism isn't reserved to white people), that are racist in AR, doesn't mean the whole state shares that view point. Jsut saying...

I think I said all of this and more when we hired Chiz. Don't worry about it. It may work out better than you think.

what he said. I did not agree with firing Petrino and I don't care much for this decision. But, I am still predicting an undefeated NC season. Of course I do that every year because the Razorbacks are my team.

You can't hire Butch Davis right now. He is soiled goods. He is tainted. Not after what Long just had to go through.

Stop with recruiting garbage.

Arkansas has never been a recruiting powerhouse. We are around a top 25-30 perenial recruiting program. None of that changes with Smith here for 10 months.

This move is basically a promotion from within. JLS has been a part of the program for 3 years and he is the only staffer with HC experience.

We will win games this year and we will land our guy at the end of this season.

Arkansas fans, I don't think it's going to be that bad this year for you guys. You guys have a helluva QB and RB, not sure about your OLine but if it's strong as well you'll be fine. What are your predictions on these games? Here's the way I see it, not a flame just an opinion.

Bama @ Home L
A&M On Road W
Auburn On Road W
SC On Road L
Moo St On Road W
LSU @ Home L (although it'll be close I think)

You guys will win the rest so I think 9-3 is doable for sure, what do you think? I could see it going either way at A&M and SC but I think a split is realistic on those 2 but hell yall may get both of them.
