re: Is everybody rooting for the hogs this week?

No, not at all.

No. I don't want a mad little Nicky the following week. But I'm ok with you tuning them up a bit.

As for Arkansas...you are catching Bama at an opportune time and may escape Tuscaloosa with 20 point loss. Can your qb throw the damn ball? Good luck...no skin off our azzcheek no matter what.

We very clearly play up/down to our competition, with 10 of our losses over the last 24 games being by 10 points or less. I'm definitely not saying we win by any means, that would be a stretch, but we do tend to hang with whoever we're playing regardless if it's a MAC team or SEC. This one will be especially close if Coker isn't prepared to make some plays throwing the ball, our run D is actually decent from practicing against it every day.

And BA can throw the ball extremely well, as long as there's not under 15:00 on the game clock. He's the #18 QB in the nation right now and would probably be 10 spots higher with ANY kind of production in the 4th quarter.

I am not trying to disparage your defense, but I just don't think you have faced a running threat like the one you are about to face. And again, I feel like you are on the knife's edge with injuries and this will be a very physical game.

I still like the direction Bert has Arkansas going in, but the injuries this season have shown how vulnerable the team is until you get more quality depth.

It would be one of the most Arkansas things ever if yall had a very close game or even beat Bama in a bad year like this

Don't really care about the outcome, but I wouldn't mind y'all knocking them around a little. Don't want anyone hurt, just maybe a little sore. If we beat Bama in 2 weeks, maybe we'll let you claim half of a win like LSU did in 2012.

I know LSU fans are. The Georgia loss was almost more than they could bear. What Nick did those good folks in Baton Rouge.

yeah...i'm sure you're pulling for LSU every week. shut the frick up

I'm rooting for an extremely physical game. Which I think might happen. Need Bama tired when we play them in two weeks at Kyle.

Unfortunately matchup wise, you guys look about the same as Georgia. Good luck with that. Maybe Coker will play like his old self.

Bama's front 7 are nasty. Arky won't run on us, and if their QB can't pass effectively it will be a game much like UGA.

This is one of those games where there needs to be a 3 mile diameter sink hole early in the 2nd quarter at BDS.
