The only thing that would be more disheartening than being a fan of a team coached by Les Miles would be being a fan of a team that is 3-8 against Les Miles.

Or, I guess, being MsGarrison as a fan of any team.

This list is clearly ridiculous. But I figured I would take the time to make a point about the Arkansas TCU game that a lot of people probably didn't pick up on during the broadcast unless they're familiar with this team, and/or Bret Bielema. For most of that game, Arkansas wasn't even trying to score points. Arkansas was milking the clock throughout the first three quarters of the game and Bielema actually deliberately put his defense on the field to close out the first half of the game. Arkansas's defense had the game well in hand for most of the time and if it weren't for that great return man TCU has, TCU would have been humiliated on their home turf. Even still, after falling behind late, Arkansas retook the momentum on the road against a top 15 team and won the game anyways. It was a tremendous performance by the Razorbacks and until now the question had always been whether the Razorbacks would stumble out the gates, or play late season form early on.

ETA: I would say that they're playing at mid season form at this point, and they are going to be a very dangerous team from here out.

Also, TCU played a much better game in the second week than in week 1. Sure, they gave up 41 to the Hogs, but the Hogs have scored 40 or more in 7 of their last 9. Not all of that is on TCU.
