No, but some came close.

ECU is like Southern Miss from a while back. You roll the dice with an early season matchup against them. You SHOULD win. But you won't get a ton of credit for and if you lose that is going to be an anchor around your neck all season.
Chattanooga is like Arkansas playing North Alabama... except we really need that win.

The Matt Jones/Manziel thread made me think of this…..a tale as old as time….
Jones wasn't fantastic at putting out effort in practice. But... with 4 years of WR experience under his belt he might have been more ready. The real problem was his NFL coach was a hardass and the Jags, at that time, were terrible at developing young WRs. A perfect sh*t storm.
KJ Jefferson is near the top of a lot of offensive stats for Arkansas but his issues with reads and tendency to make poor decisions were not something that translates to the NFL. If he had spent his time at Arkansas playing TE, and we had a fine TE coach at that time, KJ had a body and physical tools that could have made him a valuable TE at the next level.

Hopefully its a sprain and everyone is being super cautious.
re: Matt Jones at Arkansas was at least twice as good as Johnny Crackhead Manziel

Jones with a better OC (for that time period) is a Heisman trophy winner with his freakish speed. Manziel was a perfectly fine QB.
At the next level... Jones should have spent college learning to be the big play WR and Manziel would have had a great shot at a long NFL career as a safety or CB.

Imagine Jayden Daniels, Lane Kiffin, or timothee chalamet going to war now. We would be fricked
John Wayne bravely got a draft exemption and stayed behind. Joe Louis did boxing exhibitions. Nixon was a supply clerk during the war who spent his time organizing poker games. Ronald Reagan stepped forward and insisted he spend his time making training films warning about the dangers of VD. Not everyone was a hero back then.
Hell, the studio heads were so certain that Jimmy Stewart would come across as gay they made him visit a brothel down the street from the studio to establish he was 100 percent heterosexual. Military hero for sure but he was his generation's version of Chalamet before WW2.
Kiffin is 51. If we start turning to 51 year olds who aren't military professionals we are utterly screwed. Do you want a 51 year old private going into the line?
Existential wars tend to grab a lot of people, and a lot of people spend their wealth and influence to avoid fighting in them even if the country is in danger. The last several generations have a better history of volunteering to go to war than the Greatest Generation did.
Before you start screaming woke and pissing your pants in anger... look it up. We fought Vietnam with a higher percentage of volunteers than World War 2 did.
The important thing to remember about this. The really important thing, is simple. But for World War 2 Arkansas would have had a young Bear Bryant as our head coach.

The slow speed bombing run was the second worst part of that movie. Gravity isn't a thing in space so that whole scene was dumb. Then they do the Holdo maneuver or the slow speed chase while running out of fuel. Because even after 20,000 years of space flight they still use combustible fuel.
There are a great many candidates for the worst part of that movie.
I'm only excited to see B-Wings finally getting to attack a capital ship like they are supposed to instead of the craptacular "bombing run" we were treated to in the Sequels.
I tip my hat to you. You didn't bother to hide the hook and you still got some bites. Well done :cheers:
They look like someone with explosive dire rear had a pass over them.

Tommy Turdholeville milked a good season into a career. Hell, into a political career! He loves Alabama so much he lives in Florida.
When he wasn't gifted into a top 20 job he's an average coach at best.
Now, for the record, Dennis Franchione is pretty much garbage as well. Coker isn't hall of fame either but did a fairly decent job. This is a turd sandwich group.

Dude, you have to at least promise tolerance before you go down the Hershey Highway. For shame.
It is much easier to start a war than it is to finish one. If you don't believe that than ask Putin, who is now fighting an existential war with Ukraine where they, increasingly, have the upper hand.
We did not act when Iran was having major internal issues. The people we should have supported are all in mass graves.

re: name a game that was won by one player

A few games by Matt Jones when he was at Arkansas because of his freakish speed. He also lost us a couple of games because he was trying so hard to make a play.
I don't blame Matt. Houston Nutt just was not sure what to do with him most of the time. "Bah Gawd! Jones just broke an 80 yard run on the option! We'd better not call that play again for the rest of the game!"

re: Which under the radar game are you most excited for?

Arkansas vs Tulsa. If we knock them off and handle North Alabama we will be half way to the four wins I predicted for the season.

You are always a good read on here, I've missed you too.
From your lips to God's ears when it comes to history... or Chicken's ears as the case may be.
I've not been on as much, life is hectic. Still football season is near so for a week or two I'll be optimistic before that crashes down around me. Good times!

It's a valid concern. Musk has reneged on a promise to build a wastewater facility in Memphis, but has announced more data centers are coming. Memphis was an easy target, because the city has almost no economic development and is in a fiscal hole. Desperate people, low utilities and a lot of water. Of course he picked Memphis.
Memphis is probably the worst managed city I've ever lived near and that covers some ground trust me. It is ripe for the picking when it comes to someone with the resources that Musk controls.

Arkansas has won every game I personally attended. Which isn't a lot I grant you. Notably I left before a game started against Alabama because I was feeling sick and we got pasted.

I am convinced that John Futrall, our first football head coach and the man who saved the University of Arkansas as an administrator, ran over an old gypsy woman. Possibly several times.
Even when the program is doing well something always seems to go wrong at the worst possible moment. The only team as snake bit as Arkansas is... well Missouri. But getting out of the Big 12 cured y'all's football curse.
re: Is Poor W. Bryant, Jr. really Alabama’s wealthiest booster?

I don’t know if Bryant Jr.’s exact net worth is public knowledge, but it’s several hundred million dollars. He’s a banker and has a numerous major investments.
Obviously moving to Alabama worked out for the Bryant family but I wonder how rich they would be if Bear had taken the second offer Arkansas made to him. Supposedly two oilmen offered him an equal share in their company that would have been worth hundreds of millions of dollars. But, as usual, something popped up and the deal fell through.
