Missouri State - 51-7 W
New Mexico - 52-3 W
Troy - 38-28 W
Alabama - 38-14 L beatdown
Texas A&M - 42-38 W
Auburn - 38-14 W
Ole Miss - 29-24 W seriously?
Vandy - 31-28 W seriously?
South Carolina 44-28 W
Tennessee 49-7 W

Can someone please explain to me why so many on this board think we will have any problems wiping the floor with this Arky sqaud??

First off, the media doesn't help.

Secondly, the last two times we played them in BR it was literally down to the wire.

However, I also see where you're coming from.

Arky has been a horrible away team this year, Tyler Wilson or no Tyler Wilson. They were lucky to get by TROY, in Arkansas. If Texas A&M weren't the choke artists they are, they would've dropped that game.
Ole Miss gave them fits and if Vandy doesn't fumble during the game, the final score is different. The missed FG doesn't even happen.

Don't take them lightly but I think we're ok.

exactly my outlook as well bro..

the vandy game really convinced me..

We beat them by 17 and its not that close.

One of my best friends is a Hog and he doesnt give them a 10% chance

I'd be lying if those past two games in BR weren't in my head but I honestly think we'll be ok.

Let's just do what we've been doing and everything will work itself out.


I mean they were a fart squeak from losing at Vandy. We'll be ok.

Go vote for Miles in the other thread I bumped. He's getting beaten by Petrino right now.

How exactly was Arkansas lucky to get past Troy? The score was 31-7 in the 3rd quarter and we pulled starters with Bama being the next game. The team pretty much started looking ahead at that point. They got some scores. They got it to 31-21 so the next drive instead of running the ball we threw it deep to go up 38-21. Not sure how we "barely" got past them.

You barely got by them and you know it. Shall we go on to the other 3 games I mentioned?

Lmao being up 31-7 then going conservative isn't barely beating a team. Last time I checked a W is a W. You can bring up the games. Point is you had a little scare going into halftime against WKU.

Every game is different. Each game has different elements and things play out differently and sometimes oddly. It's foolish to look at games then make an assessment. As this season and every season has shown you still have to show up on Saturday and play the game.

Spin it however you want it.

I'm in no way shape or form trying to say anything but Arky hasn't been a great team on the road. Do you disagree?

Y'all are very lucky to be ranked where you are, IMO.

We're we lucky to win some games this year? Absolutely. But I dont call being up 31-7 barely getting by a team LOL.

Yea we came back in some games. This team doesn't quit and fights the whole time. Not our fault teams couldn't finish a game and we made the plays needed to but ourselves in a situation late in the game to get a W.


As far as on the road. There is a common theme with all of our road games. They have all been at 11:00am. So I can't tell of its just we are a bad road team or if we are a bad morning team or a combination of both

I see what you did but it was a win. Just like you said a second ago.

You still didn't answer my question.... do you think Arkansas has been a horrible team on the road?

Bobby petrino teams get drastically better as the season progresses. We honestly haven't been terribly impressive this year but I think most people realize lsu will be playing a good team after thanksgiving.

In the past we had trouble with the Hogs but there are two big differences this year, one being that we are a solid team on both sides of the ball and two we are not overlooking the Hogs. This team is pretty focused on getting to the NC game.

We haven't played good on the road. Correct.

Good thing each game is different and you never know what can/will happen.




Bed time for this drunk man.

See Texas Tech vs. OU and see Iowa St. vs OSU or go back to any other number of games that a team that just "couldn't" lose some how managed to get beat. It happens and Arkansas will (in their mind at the least) be playing for a shot at the NC. I would put my money on LSU but I would not be shocked in the least if Arkansas won. That is college football.

They are the next ranked and real team to play since Ole Miss sucks. That is why. The week after that it will be why Georgia is scary. Because its a game and this season isn't over.

And McFrat made his point. They played Troy like LSU played WKU. If you can't see that you need to take your purple and gold glasses off.

1) they are a pretty good team with only 1 loss

2) they have a good coach

3) they seem to always play us close

4) we have a lot to lose

5) it's college football. Did you watch last night?



I certainly think we'll win, but it's no given
