Ah. The talk no football program wants to have. When is it time to ask dad to hand over the car keys?

As great as Saban was Alabama was heading that way and he saw the writing on the wall. Woody Hayes didn't. Joe Paterno refused to step away, even with a mounting rape scandal until they forced his hand.

Not, I should add, the first gruesome sex scandal Joe Pa had tried to sweep under the rug.

At some point you need to have the talk with a legend that its time to ride off in the sunset. Dabsy has done great things at Clemson. Those times are over. Negotiate a little settlement and walk out as a legend.

Or stay another year and two and be burned in effigy.

Almost word for word what I was going to say.
We could get that kind of money. We won't get that kind of money.

Hunter would have been an uninspiring but... you know... fine... he's there... AD back in the day. Well we aren't back in the day. And he's the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time now.

I believe that’s the whole problem. Rumors were Hunter was interviewing for jobs at the NCAA and SEC HQ. Why can’t we void his contract for dereliction of duty? He picked the first guy that popped up.


It is my belief that Hunter knows the torches and pitchforks are due for imminent deployment and he's looking for a soft landing spot. He's got Arkansas sports in a no man's land.

We are quite good at a lot of sports at the moment, but not great at any one. Softball, soccer, women's golf... we're usually ranked and very competitive but we just can't seem to grab a Natty despite having fantastic coaches. And those are very much tertiary sports.

You are over looking a big one.

I think Arkansas can knock off Open Date this weekend. I know they are favored but I think the Hogs catch them off guard and pull off a stunner.

It is the rare example of a scrimmage game... where everyone knows it is a scrimmage game and plays accordingly. Trust me, with both our schedules, this will not mean a darn thing as to who gets seeded where.

Unless we, or they, blow the other team off the court by 60 points the end result is getting playing time. Honestly for Gonzaga this is a nice get for them. There should be a decent home crowd (by pre season standards) booing everything they do.

Hell, work a deal where next year we do this on their court.
It's been public knowledge for years. Let it go man, let it go.

I think the program is on an upswing here. I really do. Unlike the last few years I think we win against Open Date. I know, I know, I'm smoking the hopium but I have faith.

Charles Huff from Southern Miss lol He's at Memphis right now


Would be dude’s fourth job in four years.


Memphis coaches at other jobs have, so far, been whelming. No one has really set the world on fire even when they land at schools like FSU.

Silverfield is at Arkansas and is... there. Maybe he's being hampered by our AD, I wouldn't doubt that, but he also hasn't proven to be the second coming of Bear Bryant as an in game HC.
Dude, give it up. Your feud with Arkansas because Walmart banned you from all its stores after you got caught wagging it public to fat chicks is getting stale. Just fly your freak flag at a Costco and move on.

I just can't see it. Their AD is toast, though.

That I can see


It will take a small miracle to save Hunter. Which would be twice the Arkansas AD was chosen to head the selection committee and immediately fired.

Silverfield gets at least two years unless Cignetti formally applies for the job. High turnover at coach is damn expensive today.
If I was Jalen Hurts my lawyer would be planning his family vacation to Hawaii right now. "O Carmina Fortuna" would be playing as my experts descended upon everyone involved.
We finally got some things offensively that we have been asking for all season. Stay with the hot back and bring in a lead blocker more often. We did it a lot more in the second half I think and we wore Vandy out.

I think Cramsey and Silverfield finally realized what offense would work with this team. You aren't going to march the ball up and down the field running a pass heavy offense with our WRs and KJ Jackson.

But... mix in a heavy dose of down hill running, remove a lot of the slow developing outside screens, and then add in some TE throws and suddenly we have, not a great offense, but a very reasonable one.

Plus, being able to run play action plays to our WRs talent. We are fairly decent at the deep ball. We still get too cutesy than our offense can pull off too often, but if we run this style I think we'll do better than we have been.

Oklahoma to Michigan and Arkansas to Utah


While we did get walloped losing to Utah at Utah isn't godawful.

Still, with our in conference schedule, but for Utah we might be looking at 4-3 right now. 2 wins with our remaining schedule would be a tall, but doable order. 3, probably not.

But a 6-6 Arkansas going to a bowl game is a lot better than a 5-7 Arkansas team that doesn't kick into the bowl game fund.

KJ Jackson was the 18th ranked QB coming out of HS and he's, well, probably a hair below average. You never can tell when you're going to land a superstar recruit who can't find their butt with both hands and a road map.

Nice troll. Its so true though


I'm not trolling. We haven't won a road game in forever and a year.
It is a day of massive upsets. We might knock off the Vandy Pimp tonight.
Damn dude. You're falling really fast. Is this some sort of weird sex thing because I charge extra for kink shaming people.

OU practiced the blocked punt 7 times in practice, blocked it5 times. They saw a weakness on film and exploited.

Best part: The codeword to go for block was “Golden Hat”. They called Golden Hat and every player knew assignment.



Thou shalt study film, and thou shalt study it with care.

All it takes is noticing one tendency that you can exploit for a game changing moment.
