Dudn't watch the whole game, but my big take away was that Wake was playing with more energy and actually seemed glad to be there.
State looked lifeless and disinterested.
Ole Miss has the worst case of 'jilted girlfriend syndrome' that I have ever seen.
College football is all about the money now. Players show no loyalty except to the dollar. Why should coaches, when they also get offered a better deal?He had to jump at the opportunity when it arose. Timing kind of sucked, but it is what it is.
Have you noticed how the collective IQ of our entire country has gone down as well?
Tell him he can do that, but only with NYC taxpayer money. None from the government.
We certainly should have beat them, but ASU doesn't have a terrible women's basketball team.
Brazeale is the key. If he's mentally 'on' and not sitting due to foul trouble, we are pretty darn good.
If Acuff has to carry most of the load himself, it's going to be a little harder.
Is 24 too much to ask? A bowl every year. Win 1, prefer 2 at least over three years.
I need to see 2 'good' years back to back, but not going to expect this year to be one of them.
Just what it will take to get me hopeful again
I'm to the point with the football program that I'm not going to get optimistic any more. I'm just 'show me'. Then show me again.

That's how a lot of coaches view developing players these days. Coach them up good and somebody will poach them after you did all the work.
I am pretty much through with Razorback football. Too many years striving to just be mediocre. I have emotionally disassociated and distanced myself from giving a crap.
I will watch with a mild interest maybe, but not care when they lose. Because I am used to it.
We don't have the money, nor the population, to compete. Likely never will.

As far as Silverfield, I have nothing against him. Can't, because I know very little about him. He did beat Arkansas, and it appeared his Memphis team was prepared and played much harder than we did.

There's just too many moving parts these days, and the assembled parts can disintegrate in a split second. No continuity. You have to throw together the pieces you can afford and hope it works well for a year. A gamble at best.
College football has been ruined by the almighty dollar.

We better have a backup plan. And not Barry Odom. Throw the bank at Gruden, make him say no. Same with Campbell. Swing for the fences until you land one.
We have four 4 stars in state this year (more than average by a good bit) and all are committed elsewhere.

Plus some dawgs on defense and a quicker/better decision making QB sure wouldn't hurt.
Boozer beat us. Without him we walk out with a comfortable win. He just went off tonight.

Other than untimely turnovers, offense wasn't our problem. Well, except for that one game.
Petrino is still a damn good OC.

Give Petrino a top notch DC and NIL money and we would have been good to go too.
Now we might have to face Petrino's offense.
We haven't signed anybody yet, as far as we know. Made an offer.
This could still go to shite.
IF Kiffin really is going to LSU, I fully expect OM to make a run at Golesh.
I don't know who Golesh's agent is, but if it's that turd Sexton, he will try to start a bidding war.

At this point, I do too - unless we could get Gruden (ha) or a Kiffin (ha) or similar no brainer.
Petrino has won here. Against good competition.

One big caveat though - the game has changed with NIL. Can he successfully navigate the bullshite a coach has to deal with these days, in building a roster that you basically have for one year?
Offensive players should be interested if he's the coach, but can he draw the defensive talent we need? Can he get a good to very good DC?

Questions that can't be answered until he is given a shot.
