re: Why do you assume it was such a hard fought game.

y'know, it's not the fashionable thing to say, but Arkansas played hard today. They're not totally devoid of talent, just had a disastrous season. So, why give LSU a hard game? Maybe because it's the last game of their season, for some their careers, and it's at home. Remember the last game before Saban took over at LSU? You remember, when LSU pounded a good, Cotton Bowl bound Arkansas team, to get... their 3rd and final win of the season?

Playing for pride can do a lot in one game. Arkansas wasn't playing for pride against Bama, they were in the midst of their slide. Got smoked by A&M the following week too. But their last game, they played for a little redemption.

Re the Ole Miss game, are you forgetting just how much those bastards live to beat us? 1-11 is a good year in Oxford, if the 1 win is against us.

Should we kill each team? Technically, sure. We didn't, but we won.

Just a reminder. Watch Auburn against Alabama. That should be a skull-dragging. It might be, but don't be shocked if Auburn looks the best they've been all season, either.
