How would y’all feel about Dabo


He was an excellent coach pre-portal and pre-NIL, but we're not in that era anymore.

As he will not embrace the portal or NIL, he's a dinosaur in today's coaching world. He's stuck in the past. No thank you.

Jerry Kill, who was the coach at Minnesota and then NM State has been a large factor in their success from what I've read. Dude can coach. His health issues led to him stepping down as a head coach.

Isn't this what we were told last time before we hired Pittman?

So, what is the repellent?

Lack of booster support/money?
Lack of instate talent?
Location?

Very happy for LA Tech—lots of family ties and many friends are alums. Can’t wait for those rivalry games vs. ULM, ULL, and USM. Those NLU games were intense when I went as a kid back in the 80s.

Congrats, Tech!

Pittman said he isn't worried about his job


What else would you expect him to say? It's going to take a nosedive in ticket sales and attendance for him to be let go. We're not that serious about football. It's all about basketball and baseball unfortunately.
The Citadel game.

It was my first game I attended as a student and my first game as an Arkansas fan as I did not grow up following Arkansas sports. I should known that it was a warning of things to come.

Will Howard and Jack Sawyer both to the Steelers today. I’m going to need to wash multiple pairs of underwear.


I'm pretty happy with their draft as well.
Every pick for the Steelers so far has been from the Big 10:
Oregon
Iowa x 2
OSU x 2

I thought Andrew Armstrong would have been drafted by now.

And a fellow Nazi or Nazi sympathizer downvoted you for saying it. Good grief.

I know they hate us but Arkansas and GT…no idea why


No hatred of LSU here--my parents are alums

It's just that I get to hear it when LSU beats Arkansas from family and friends, so I hate losing to you guys as much as I hate losing to Ole Miss (friends who are alums).

Damn, I miss those Black Friday games as they were often epic.
UGA, Clemson, LA Tech - family ties to all of those schools.

I also like seeing Tulane do well as they were horrible for over half my life and they have great uniforms.

Braylen Russell expected to be back at practice tomorrow after Ole Miss passed on his dads demands


I thought you were joking at first. Good grief. He's gone as soon as he finds a better payday.

Wake Forest can't compete in this landscape Kind of like MLB now, Pirates, A's, etc might as well fold


Don't forget Arkansas.
We have so many key portal entries and opt-outs that I can't help but feel we're gonna get boat raced.

Wonder what’s going on up there for starters to want to transfer?


Maybe they're unhappy in the current system or want to join a program that's winning at a higher clip? Culture?

Isn't that why Pooh Paul ditched us for Ole Miss?
Personal attacks on the coach's wife are scummy and pathetic. It's embarrassing for the rest of us and those people spouting this stuff online need to be launched into the sun.

None of us are happy about the current state of things. That doesn't excuse personal attacks. Even the constant Titboss/fat jokes stuff is just lame.

I rarely watch our games anymore as it just puts me in a foul mood as we constantly shite the bed in games we have a chance to win. I don't even watch many other games not involving Arkansas, either, as it reminds me of how much of a joke we have been over the last ten years. There's nothing to root for and nothing to look forward to. I don't blame any booster who doesn't want to shell out any money with what we have in place right now.

I'm jealous of my friends and family who have connections to and can root for successful programs like UGA, LSU, A&M, Clemson, and Ole Miss. Yeah, you can nitpick about how successful a couple of those are, but they're always going to better bowls than we are and have more potential than we do. This is a poverty program. Slapdick U.
