You have to feel bad for Kiffin. He put in serious work to be the a-hole of the year. I mean, above and beyond the call. And this kid comes in and eclipses Lane easily.

That is unforgivable.
I'm a fan of Arkansas despite decades of abuse and soul destroying losses. It doesn't get much weirder than that.
Indiana's big rival is the Purdue Boilermakers so I think we're pretty safe from that event happening this season.

Better to just forget this ever happened. Trust me, you don't want him to try and explain this to you.

What I want from Silverfield is what I wanted from Pittman. He fixes the program (which Pittman did!) and then doesn't out stay his welcome (which Pittman also did).

I'd accept Hunter's be good in every sport mantra, but now we are good enough to be competitive but not good enough to win anything meaningful in a lot of sports.

Leach enjoyed life outside of football. He didn’t want the pressure and time consuming job of running a big program. He could make an irrelevant program relevant and enjoyed the smaller town life more. Win 9 games at WSU and MSU and nobody questions why you’re in key west on vacation instead of recruiting


Exactly, I should have brought that point up. Honestly, if I had a successful season, made millions of dollars, and am adored at my job... you betcha I'm in Key West or Hawaii or what have you enjoying the good life for a couple of weeks.

I think its unhealthy for coaches to never take breaks. Burns them out and a burnt out coach is worse than useless.

Absolutely. I only wonder what he could of done at a major program.


Not at all well. I am not saying that to knock his coaching abilities, though like flexbone coaches Leach could beat the brakes off a really good team and then lose to an FCS bottom feeder in the same season. Leach was a fantastic coach.

Leach's problem is that if he was at a "top notch" program he'd have tangled with big money boosters sooner rather than later and they would have taken the first opportunity to drive him off. He did not play well with others. You have to do that in a major program.

If the stars align we win 6 and should celebrate it given where our team is right now.

I think we probably do 3-4 wins this season and finally knock off a fellow bottom feeding SEC team. Which, to be fair, we should have done last season.

Worst case, we beat North Alabama and no one else. Silverfield's tenure is effectively done though he will get some more years and interest in the program will continue to atrophy.

I suspect there might have been some "oh my God we made the CWS!" going around. A really good season for the Ladybacks and hopefully next year we'll be a bit better prepared.

Someone queue up "Another one bites the dust."
Hell. If Arkansas doesn't win it I'll be fine with Kentucky pulling it off. :cheers:

Don't make it too obvious that we are setting him up to take over once Chicken retires. We don't want him to bolt to freedom.
But for one cursed pop up fly ball and we'd be on this list.

That is the most Arkansas sports thing in our history.

I do believe I'll be rooting for Arkansas this year. I was so thrilled to have beaten them last year, but holy hell their run of bad luck is both impressive and sad at the same time. I'm past the hating them stage and legitimately just want the best for them now


You think it is sad for you. I'm at the point where I sit down to watch Razorback sports mostly to see what new and horrifying way the universe will screw us.
Better is misleading. As of right now the Big 10 has shown itself to be vastly more prepared for the NIL era than the SEC. We are, for the most part, doing what worked in the pre-NIL era and getting left behind.

To put it this way... we're all still trying to run the Wishbone after Jimmy Johnson showed everyone how to shut it down.

Will that continue? I suspect SEC teams will adjust sooner rather than later. However the new reality is that the cash rich, but talent soft, Big 10 is back to being a football powerhouse. We're going to have to fight to keep them from signing away players.
Hah! Jokes on you. I'm deaf as a post without my hearing aids in. They can babble to their heart's content.

Uhm, no thanks. Jacking up student fees and taking out loans?


Direct support from Universities is a dying business model today. Most schools are running dangerously low on funding. That piggy bank is already busted.
If it wouldn't screw up his ATRS maybe we should see if we can put him on the staff for the Ladybacks. We have a really good program, but we can't seem to get over that hump into excellent.

She's a crazy skank beast... which means the sex will be good. Just be careful you don't wake up in the middle of the night and see her standing over you with a butcher's knife.
