Ham, where'd you move to? I hope not too far away. Your practice reports are the best.


Thanks man; unfortunately I'm back in my hometown Little Rock and have to be a grownup (hard to imagine I know) so I won't be able to do practice reports this Fall...

I remember FMB saying a while back he may be going to some practices this Fall...

And I don't agree you with this. Do your homework on this coming season. State is 3-4 deep in every position. It took a few years for Merlins to get this done. I look for State to be on the rise up.......My guess is Bama.......

No wonder you have such a hard on for WMS. Did you finish your degree? If not keep working on it, take a class or two a semester if you have to.

Maybe that was a bit "ONOZ" of me, but still.

This season wasn't going to be easy anyways with losing Wright, Adams, Franklin, Bequette, and so on. Wilson will be good just like last season, but we are putting a lot of hope in Knile who is coming off of a terrible injury. Maybe it was a freak accident, and won't affect him in the slightest, but I think it would be inappropriate to just assume that.

Especially now with Marquel Wade along with several others that I can't think of off the top of my head (Peacock?) getting into trouble with the law, it just makes me shake my head. How are we supposed to compete with two teams who wiped the floor with us last year?

Don't get me wrong, I will be there, standing and screaming as if my life depended on it for both games. It's just frustrating knowing how close we have been, and quite frankly, downright disappointing.

Ark is probably a good choice, but with decent support Wilson could carry that team a long way.


If Tyler has time to throw and isn't getting hit every play against better teams they could go a very long way.

Those were great players for us, but the guys we have coming in to replace them are pretty good themselves. Every player has their own strengths and weaknesses, so although we lose the awesome speed of Jarius Wright, we gain in height and strength for example.

I would usually be hesitant about expecting much from a RB coming off an injury, but Knile Davis is a different breed. The guy is all business and just a freak physical specimen, mature beyond his years. I don't feel uneasy at all putting high expectations on him b/c I know he expects the same out of himself and has put in the work to get to where he needs to be.

Every season is different, every game is different. The final scores of the LSU and Bama game made it look really lopsided, but the games played out closer than those scores make it seem. A lot of little things can add up to shift the tide in our favor like home field, a more experienced QB, more sound special teams play, etc...

That's the story of being a Razorback football fan , but I'm throwing the past out the window b/c this team is very talented and is capable of another 10 win season and maybe more.

I would say Auburn. Don't know why, just a feeling.....


I think you would first have to attain lofty expectations before you can have a "backslide".



Auburn is the correct answer because they recruit based on fundamentalism. instances of backsliding would be behaviors frowned upon by preachers.

so.. the HC being found out... to do a taboo behavior.

Pretty much the same, it hasn't gotten super hectic yet but it's about it. I tell myself I need to get through 5 pages in 15 minutes, then I give myself a 5 minute break. Rinse repeat.

Yeah, short bursts are the way to go... I might need to take a vacation from here so I can concentrate better.

Possibly? I dont know about you, but we're still in the gutter. We are just now starting to push the envelope.

Me too. I mistakenly believed I had the discipline to stay on schedule with it, but that lasted all of 3 days...
