Masters Question

Posted by BenHOGan on 3/22/17 at 11:20 am
I just learned I will be on the East Coast very near Augusta over Masters weekend with spare time on Saturday and Sunday. Curious if I try to drive over on Saturday morning, what are the odds that someone outside the grounds will be unloading tickets?...
Brandon: Third year starting, senior year, trailing Toledo at home, game winning drive, 4th down, pass clangs off the goalpost. Game over. Austin: First year starting, first game, trailing LaTech, game winning drive, pass complete to Jeremy Sprinkle FTW. Second game, trailing TCU by 8 on the road...
[quote]A heavy loss to Miami also ended the run of Arkansas being a triple option team.[/quote] And one year later if Steve Atwater holds onto that interception in the end zone, Arkansas is playing for the National Championship in the Cotton Bowl. If you want to boil it down to one play, that is...

One difference I see is that Bert's been building year on top of year whereas Tubs had success early and was all over the map after a few years. We are still seeing some WTF performances, but this year the WTF is why LAT is within 1 point of us, rather than why is Toledo beating us? The talent and ...

[quote]The truth is that Arkansas was a fluke play away from losing to Ole Miss and a play away from losing to Auburn at home. Had just two plays gone differently, Arkansas would have been 5-7 and sitting at home during bowl season. Sure there were some close losses (Texas A&M, Toledo, etc.), but if...
[quote]I'm and old stick in the mud. I prefer sports to work similar to the real world. Go to college, hone your craft/trade for 3 years, if you're a top candidate go early after Jr. year and make your money.[/quote] The thing about baseball - particularly pitchers - is that we are learning, ...
I used to have a ticket stub from the 1991 basketball game between Arkansas and UNLV game and it was signed by Walter Payton who was in attendance. Lost it in one of my many moves. ...
[quote]What is the most hated piece of your team's memorabilia that you own[/quote] From my team, I have a signed Bobby Petrino football and a signed photo of my son on the sidelines from BMFP as well. I don't hate them at all. Just find them humorous now. As for memorabilia I own from other ...

[quote]Arkansas and Anderson seemed like the perfect fit. What happened Arky fans? Did he get lazy?[/quote] He's just never been much of a recruiter. That system is entertaining, but it only really wins when the talent is considerably better than the opponents. It's not the type of system where u...
NC, Miami, Ole Miss are all good. Power 5 conference schools will never receive significant punishment again - even the insignificant ones like OM. As part of those conferences, they are just too essential to the money-generating machine that the NCAA doesn't want to smack them too hard. It doesn't...
Jan. 2, 1978 Orange Bowl. Arkansas vs Oklahoma. OU was such a huge favorite after our starting 2 tailbacks got suspended that Vegas took the game off the board. Arkansas absolutely dominated every phase of the game, winning 31-6 behind a then-Orange Bowl record 205 yards on 22 carries by third stri...

re: Favorite SEC Campus

Of the ones outside of Fayetteville I've visited, they are in order (and I'm interpreting the question as campus - not college town): LSU - love the red tile roofs and uniformity and old moss trees UGA Vandy Ol Mis UTK ...

[quote]Yeah, Ole Spice is a money machine. Get ready, 75% of the country has wanted to see the SEC busted, and Ole Spice will be the sacrifice[/quote] Nah. They are part of the SEC Cartel. As such, they are insulated. Because they are a P5 team, regardless of how insignificant, they are fine. It'...
