especially an Arkansas team we had dead to rights last season.


"remember that one time we played really well in the first half and were beating that one team really badly"?

Why no, no I don't.

I do, however, remember your team falling apart, blowing big leads and losing on several occassions last year. It's weird that the record books don't include the score at halftime. Bragging about how you were ahead of Arkansas before absolutely sh!tt!ng the bed would be like an Alabama fan bragging about the arse whipping they put on Auburn in the first half of the Iron Bowl in 2010. Just don't do it man, it's just sad.

Arkansas - Their dynasty was taken down by a 25 year old blonde girl on the back of a motorcycle. The only thing more fitting of that giant trailer park is to somehow get one of its citizens in the White House, and the office aide that was administering blowies kept the dress that was soiled with DNA. Poor piggies. No chance.


I hate Arkansas. I hate Arkansas fans even more. And nothing would make me happier if they fell flat on their face this season - but they are not going to and I can't understand why so many people are taking for granted that a VERY talkented squad is going to all of a sudden forget how to play football. They have the exact same coaching staff in place minus BMFP. Yes, he is a good coach, but his brother is going to be there calling the plays. Smith is there to keep the ship moving in the same direction. Losing Petrino may cost them whatever chance they had to beat Bama and LSU but I still expect them to come in third in the West.

If losing a head coach causes a team to forget how to play - A&M is F'd this season. How many coaches are you replacing? Not to mention players at key positions???? If I were A&M, I would worry about beating other teams before I started thinking about Bama and LSU.

The sad truth, however, is that last year you guys were a VERY distant third in the SEC West and things won't be any different this year except that the gap between you and the schools below you will decrease


LSU v. Ar-Kansas - 41-17

Bama v. Ar-Kansas - 38-14

That is what I call a VERY distant third.

When's the last time a coach has been given a contract extension for anything more than winning football games?


Every single program in the SEC values wins -- I agree with that.

When's the last time a coach has been given a contract extension for anything more than winning football games -- I don't know why they would. A coach's primary job is to win football games. But just because a program values winning, but not mean that it values it more than integrity. Tressel was one of the most winning coach's in the history of The Ohio State University, but he messed up and was fired. The Pirate at Texas Tech was a very winning coach - he put the program on the map, but he messed up and was fired. (And I would have loved to lock that DB and his DB father in a closet.) Programs often fire winning coaches for making poor decisions -- thus valuing the integrity of the institution above the wins.

I have a law degree. I would still be grossly overpaid if McDonalds paid me $100k to run its drive-thru window. He got her a cushy job working with him on a daily basis and fought for an exorbitantly hight salary based on the job she would be doing.

Bringing new and fresh perspectives


It is not new information. It is just my commentary on the recent outpouring from your fanbase in support of Petrino. Personally, I would be embarassed. Hawgnation sends out a clear message that they would gladly cash in their integrity for the chance of another 10 win season. The sad truth, however, is that last year you guys were a VERY distant third in the SEC West and things won't be any different this year except that the gap between you and the schools below you will decrease. It is one thing to sell your sould for a national championship, it is another to sell it for a third place ribbon in the SEC West. That's pretty sad.
55k is a ton of money for the job she was hired to perform (unless you include sleeping with him -- then she was being grossly underpaid).

and while not per se illegal, it is a breach of university policy to have a meritricious relationship with a subordinate. in most employment settings, sleeping with a direct subordinate will get you fired a lot quicker than smoking weed.
If you don't fire Petrino, I don't see how the University could ever discipline football players with a straight face -- "Wait, coach got caught bangin' a 25 year old girl who he just hired and agreed to pay a ton of money to, who was also engaged to another coach, and he didn't get fired, but you are kickin' me off the team for smoking a little weed???"
For a while now, many posters have maintained that Bobby Petrino is, to put it bluntly, a scumbag. There was jetgate, the way he left Louisville, the way he left the Falcons, and his generally undesirable conduct along the way, e.g. the manner in which he handled the loss to LSU last year. This latest faux pas does nothing more than reaffirm that he lacks moral fiber, integrity, and character. Yes, he is a good offensive coach. Yes, he has elevated the level of success for the Hawgs. But whether Arkansas decides to fire Petrino has absolutely nothing to do with whether Petrino is a class A jerk, and everything to do with the integrity of the institution. Petrino has proven his lack of character time and time again. Now Arkansas, as an institution has an opportunity to show its mettle. It can fire Petrino, sending a clear message that such conduct will not be tolerated or it can send an even clearer message that moral character is not important for the head coach as long as he is winning.
I was shocked how little they ran him and how little he was in the game. He was the most talented player on the field but seemed to be used very sparingly. Thanks in advance for any information.
I think most would agree that this was a down year for the SEC when viewed from the standpoint of parity. There is LSU and Alabama, and then there is everyone else. Next year, more teams should enter the mix. Georgia has been on a tear and should improve a good bit in the offseason. Arkansas will have Wilson and Niles Davis and I'm sure Petrino will have plenty of passing targets. Auburn was incredibly young this year - will they be able to compete next year. Connor Shaw has really impressed me in the second half of the season with his ability to throw AND RUN. If they have keep Lattimore healthy, they could make another run at the East. This year was disappointing for MSU - is there any hope on the horizon. I think Tennessee is screwed. Will Florida finally get it together?

Why are LSU fans infatuated with Finebaum?


Because listening to idiots like Legend is comic gold! I find it really amusing listening to the idiots that call up the show and rant and rave. Most of them sound like they didn't graduate third grade.

"Hey Pawwwl. I'm a long time listener, first time cawler. I just wanted to tell you that I lay around my trailer every Saturday, listen to your show, stare at my poster of Nick Saban and pull on my man meat. We've got the best damn team in the country and I just can't figure out why anyone even argues with us. They can't handle our stuff Pawwwl. They just can't. Don't they know about the Bear. We're gonna git number 37 this year. I just know it."

And then that classic sign-off - "RTR Pawwwl."

It's gold Jerry!
Not positive, but I think it was Al from Dadeville.

re: WDE24's Top 5 SEC RB's to date

I swear an Auburn fan posts this exact same thread after every weekend because Michael Dyer being a decent/good RB is the ONLY solace you can find in an otherwise shitty season and shitty team. We get it - Dyer is a good RB. Congratulations. Now bend over because the pain train is coming to the Plains this weekend. My advice - lube up before hand so it goes in easier.

re: Not buying the LSU defense hype

LSU will beat Arkansas. Les will slow the pace of the game way down, just like he has all season. LSU will own time of possession. Our D will have fresh legs all day long. Spencer Ware will cram it straight down their throats all day long. Arkansas doesn't have the depth on D to stop him. Arkansas - don't even both watching film from the Bama game because it won't help you - you aint got that D. And don't even bother quoting the numbers from the West Virginia game. We jumped on top of them early and Chavis gave them everything underneath to slow them down and eat up more clock. If you look at the number fo times they threw the ball and their total passing yards, it comes out to about 3 yards an attempt.
1. LSU









2. Arkansas
3. Bama
4. Auburn




5. Miss St.



6. Ole Miss
I can't believe you guys didn't jump to number 1 or 2 after the arse whipping you laid on Vanderbilt this past weekend...

Freak has shown some flashes of brilliance. Think he will be really fun to watch over the next 3 1/2 years. My favorite play of his for the year - so far - at the 1:30 mark.

Our offense is nothing flashy but at the end of the game you will look up at the scoreboard and wonder where all those points came from. That being said, I do think your defense has been improving and has benefitted from playing less than stellar offenses.
