We actually have a chance. Wow.

I think Bobby is a great OC, but wasn't a good fit in a head role. That said, we would have been better under him than we are with Silverfield.

With the success that Indiana and UCLA are experiencing, there are no excuses for our AD. I'll give him credit for making us competitive or championship level in nearly every other sport, but football is of course the big dog. I don't see how he survives this.

I miss the good old days of McConnell where the SEC track championships were basically the Arkansas Invitational.

We're not getting the top U.S. kids. They're all going to NAU, Colorado, Stanford, etc. But Coach Mac always had top runners from the UK, Australia and South Africa. Now we're not getting those kids and are trying to compete with East Africans. So is Alabama and a lot of other schools.

There are two problems with that. One, a lot of these guys are over 25 and have already run professionally. They don't even have birth certificates. And a lot of African runners dope. They get busted all the time. We've had some that were legit, like Josphat Boit and the legendary Godfrey Siamusiye, but Coach never loaded the team with Africans. Watch the meet tomorrow. The front pack will be dominated by Africans.

For Arkansas to be Arkansas again, we need to reestablish that UK connection. I expect us to maybe get 2nd or even 3rd in the conference. Hoping for a win, but not expecting it. We have a big drop off after our 3rd runner. No depth.

Must be an anthropology class on ancient tribal cultures.

If Arkansas is the 4th team in the conference, it's time for Cal to move on.

Should make the idiots in our fan base who blame all our issues on Arch—instead of the worthless brain trust running the team—very happy.

It's definitely not all on Arch, but he makes some critical mistakes that are unforced. Your interior OL has had problems that certainly affect Manning.

Oklahoma is an SEC quality program. Championship level in baseball, softball and gymnastics, and solid in soccer and golf. Football has been plagued for years for only being able to field a championship level team on one side of the field. Best offense in the land under Riley. Championship level defense under Venables. Eventually, they'll get that worked out, and when they do, watch out.

They'll take a huge step forward in firing Arbuckle, possibly Bedenbaugh and bringing in a QB that is a solid game manager with an accurate arm.
