Drive down to Pensacola and play Tiger Pointe. Solid track. Links style setup.
Mid 20's. around 1999-2003. I was young and single. Right out of college and literally a year after my college career was over, it clicked and I hit about a 3 year stretch where the game was just easy. bad rounds were around 8-79 and good rounds were even par, sometimes better.
In college I was just a guy that filled out the roster and never was very good. Picked the game up late and was just starting to put it all together when i ran out of eligibility. Those next 3 years were fun.... then life started to get busy.
I can still post an occasional round in the 70's but it's MUCH less common than it used to be.
Fun and frustrating game!!!

Absolutely. Love Mystic but it doesn’t love me back. Usually a nut kick but it’s a great course.

I agree. It will humble me quickly!!!

Indian Creek used to be my favorite when I visited family out there. Several I would like to play that I haven’t yet.
Coyote Ridge was a fun round but pricier that IC if I remember right.

Drive an hour north into Arkansas and play Mystic Creek in El Dorado. It’s worth the drive and the price
I'm not expecting a ton of year one success but I am of the opinion that Silverfield is a better hire than we think it is at the moment. I'm looking forward to finding out. Either we are finally on track to get back on track or still a burning dumpster fire a long way from where we used to be.
This season should tell us quite a bit

All Petrino had to do was win a few games at home against programs that were pretty bad and we wouldn't have this discussion.


I may be bleeding conspiracy theory.... but I feel like some of the screw jobs we got down the stretch were the league office sending a message that BP was not welcome back in the SEC. No other way to explain the Miss State fiasco.

yep. RIP .... one of the names synonomous with Razorback football.

I used to but I've always had a fear of heights and I never really found one that I was very comfortable in.
I had an ol man... very comfortable sit... but it slipped on me about 3 times. After the last time I sold it.
Got a tree lounge next and it's awesome once its on the tree but a pain to lug around and set up.
I honestly don't think I've hunted it in over 10 years. I use a lot of ladder stands and ground blinds now. And of course as I've gotten older it's hard to knock the convenience of a big comfy box stand...... Just harder to kill big deer from them.
BAD BOY.... but get the Kawasiki engine. Kohler is ok but nothing like the Kawasiki.

Agreed. I think Arkansas is closer to a top 16 seed than this shows as well. They won 3/5 series against the SEC teams ranked ahead of them


And the committee knows Baum will have 10,000 butts in seats all weekend for a regional also..... don't act like that doesn't matter...
yeah... hope we can host a regional but honestly I'm not sold on this team being able to take 2-3 on the road in a super with how shaky our pitching has been.
Hope I'm wrong.....

Ewin being granted another year and Semedo giving him 8-10 minutes a game would be workable.
Odds on Ewin getting the waiver?


Sounds like decent odds. You never know with the NCAA though.

Any chance the Semedo contributes this year? That would help some.

Almost feels like Cal is counting on him to contribute, otherwise surely we would have been more aggressive on portal bigs..... I would think... but heck I have no idea what Cal is thinking at the 5.

Maybe, but the offense wasn't really ever the problem. Taylen finished 7th in the nation in QBR and just got drafted.


Yeah but what was our "go to" play when we had to have something? And how many times did Taylen look lost on them.
Granted, we couldn't stop a bad jr high team on defense, but offense routinely crapped the bed once the opposing DC made adjustments.

And couldn't win an SEC game





When I was an OC in HS, I went to the Tony Franklin system about 10 years in. Tried to run it all. We were ok at all of it but never got great at much. Cost us a lot of games. Later in my career we went to a more simplified version that focused a lot more on gap runs and RPO.... got really good at a lot less stuff. Suddenly our offensive numbers skyrocketed and we won a lot more. Granted I was at some schools that weren't powerhouses so win totals are relative, but I learned fewer tools and sharper blades seemed to be a better system than having the fanciest tool box out there.
I always felt like that was BP to an extent.... Offensive genius... but I just think it was too much for MOST college kids.... Obviously he had a special group his first go here.... but it never really felt like his QB's "got it" this time around.
I know enough of his scheme that I was very frustrated that Taylen's eyes went to the wrong read on the snap frequently and he just couldn't follow post-snap movement in the secondary. To me that speaks of the playbook being too big and he probably needed more time with fewer progressions.
Just my 2 cents from a former HS guy. I clearly am not and never will be on these guys' level, but a lot can be said for being great at a few things.
Hogs could still work their way in or out of hosting. That said I have low confidence that we will do a whole lot to help our cause but 3 series wins to close the year might do it. Who knows.
