Why does the Arkansas game scare me so much?

Playing Arkansas the week after Alabama really scares me. I think this is the year that we take care of the Tide, but seeing Arkansas the following week is no good. It's also on the road. I know they don't look good on paper, but those goons really get up to play LSU.

This is the game I am most worried about.

Perhaps it's because we lose to them too often when we should be kicking their asses.

they really do get up to play LSU don't they? They'll suck all year and play the game of their lives against us. Props to them.

Yeah, they're probably the 5th or 6th most talented team we'll play this year. However, when I look at the schedule, this is the game I am most uncertain about.

Bert is all up in my head.

If we lose to Bama, Ark. will beat us! Makes their season. They have a jinks on us like Bama.












if we lose to Bama they win the next week!

I've been saying for a while we should move the bye week to the week after the gumps. This would de-emphasize the game as well as give us an extra week to recover physically as well as get over the loss or the win. I think putting so much emphasis on Bama has hurt us.

If we played them in September we'd be 20-0 vs them.

Instead we place them at the end of the year when our season is determined and they're desperate for a bowl.

Playing them the week after Bama is even crazier.

Arkansas plays Florida the week before they play us. Not easy.

Probably because we are 2-3 playing there (Little Rock and Fayetteville) under the Miles era.

I'd love for Arky to flip with moo state on the schedule for a decade.

No WE dont place anything, the SEC makes the SEC schedule and schools work the OOC schedules around them.

ETA:Every year the SEC drops the SEC Schedule and we find out who we play and when. Im sure LSU would love to schedule Bama earlier in the season, but with the money grab this game makes every year and the importance, it will forever be the 1st game of November.

I tend to agree here.

They played Ole Miss last year before they played us.

DEY WILL BE PLEDGING ALLEGIANCE TO DA SWAG!
Locked down DBs this year with a nasty front 7.
Arky will NOT be a trap game this year or one where we are hurting for depth like the last 2.
F dem pigs.
