Maybe that's because this game was set up starting in 2009 when A&M was still in the Big XII and the current contract doesn't expire until after 2024. I guarantee you it will move back to home stadiums permanently, beginning in 2025.

Glenn says Arkansas will be a dangerous opponent who could upset Bama, then turns around and says Bama by 20. Hmmm. Oh, and your stat about back-to-back 800 yard receiving seasons is wrong, Glenn. Anthony Lucas did it in 1998 and 1999. Geez!

If Arkansas beats Texas AND Texas A&M, then they ain't gonna lose to Ole Miss (the most overrated team in the nation!) and definitely not at home against Miss State. I'll take Mr. O'Gara's prediction, and say he should have said 9-3. My personal prediction is 8-4. I don't see Arkansas beating A&M, although I certainly hope they do! Losing 9 in a row to those butt sniffers is highly irregular! BTW...hey SDS, is this an apology article for that nonsense you published the other day from that idiot Dave Hooker?

#1 - This is clickbait at its best! Dave Hooker knew that saying "The SEC should kick Team A and Team B to the curb to make room for Team C and Team D" would get a lot of eyeballs rolling and a lot of fingers tapping on those keyboards. #2 - I actually don't think Dave Hooker believes the nonsense he is writing. I think he is just trying to kick the hornets nest as hard as he can! If he really has been covering Tennessee sports since 1998, then Dave Hooker ought to know that the SEC, or any conference, does not arbitrarily remove existing members just to make room for other schools. #3 - Let's face some reality...Notre Dame will NEVER join any conference in football. EVER! Why would they? They have a sweetheart deal with NBC, and they don't have to share any of that money. Duh! #4 - Why would Dave Hooker pick on Vandy? I guess I can understand, football-wise. The Dores do not have a strong tradition in football. Of course, they have won a couple of College World Series baseball titles over the last decade, and usually are very competitive in most of the other sports, but hey, none of that matters, right? #5 - I just going to call this like I see it, and I'm going to admit to personal bias right away since I'm from Arkansas and I'm a Hogs fan, but you, Dave Hooker, look like an idiot calling out Arkansas. Yes, the Razorbacks haven't been very good at all since 2016. Yes, Chad Morris was an absolute nightmare (thank you former interim AD Julie Cromer-Peoples for that gift that keeps on giving). Yes, former AD Jeff Long was a wolf in sheeps clothing. And yes, Bobby Petrino was a great coach but a terrible person. All of those things are true. But do you know what else is true? Arkansas has 4 SEC West Division championships since joining the SEC in 1992. That's more than Missouri, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Miss State, Kentucky, Vandy, and South Carolina. Arkansas was also one of the SEC teams that played in a BCS era game. Not every SEC school can say that. Are yo going to argue that those other teams that have fewer division titles than Arkansas should be kicked out of the SEC? I doubt it. Forget the fact that Arkansas is one of only three SEC teams to win a men's basketball national title. Or our baseball team has been to 6 CWS over the last twenty years, or that the Hogs are the defending SEC baseball champions (congrats to MSU on your CWS). Or that men's basketball went to the Elite 8 last year. Or that our softball team also won the SEC. Or that our track program is consistently the best in the nation and kicks everyone's asses every year. But I get it. This is about football! I love football. Which is why these last four or five years have been tough for me and every Hogs fans. But everything in college sports goes in cycles. Slowly but surely Arkansas will be good again. Nick Saban will eventually retire (or die) and Alabama won't be on top any more. Do you see what I'm saying Dave Hooker? Hell, you as a Vols man should know something about ebb and flow! 1998 must feel like an eternity ago. Basically what I'm saying is, this is a great clickbait article, but it's not based in reality in any way shape or form. You, and SDS, need to take off the blinders and take other things into consideration before writing (and publishing) such drivel. It's not a good look.

I firmly believe Arkansas is going to shock a lot of people again in 2021, to include the writers of SDS, who have rarely shown much love for the Hogs. KJ Jefferson is going to be the QB, and he will be the surprise star of the SEC this fall. Arkansas' O-Line is bigger and better, they have some of the best receivers in the conference, and the running game will be much improved. Look for WR Treylon Burks to shine for Arkansas on his way to a 1st Team SEC performance in "21. Losing DT Jonathan Marshall hurts. But having everyone else back, and adding more quality depth at each level will negate that loss. Look for the Hogs defense to have a better pass rush, which will help coverage in the secondary. The seocndary will be better and deeper too. Jalen Catalon may be the best safety in the SEC! And with Grant Morgan and Bumper Pool at LB directing Odom's D, I say SDS is grossly under-valuing Arkansas' defense, and the Razorbacks team as a whole. There is no way Mizzou and A&M can keep up their win streaks against the Hogs much longer. Those will end in the next year or two (one of them in 2021). I say Ole Miss is being overrated right now. No way they improve that gutterball defense in one year, and they lost key starters from "20 on both sides. Arkansas will beat Ole Miss, Miss State, and will get revenge on Auburn for last year's theft (did y'all send that officiating crew a Thank You card after that game). And with the Longhorns reeling right now, I wouldn't put it past the Hogs to upset them in Fayetteville, either. It's an old rivalry game, and Pittman will impress upon his players its importance. Hopefully the SEC will lift capacity restrictions for everyone by this fall!

Why do Tide fans find it necessary to comment on Razorbacks articles? Arkansas isn't a threat to your team right now. Once Saban finally retires/croaks and if Morris can revive the program, maybe the Hogs will be able to finally beat Bama then. I mean, isn't beating us a dozen years in a row enough for you arrogant jerks? Guess not.

Wow. What a freakin moron! Maybe we should make this jackwagons idea retro-active, too. We can kick Ole Miss out of the SEC for losing to Jacksonville St in 2011. And Alabama for losing to ULM in 2007. Or Kentucky losing to Southern Miss in 2016. Here's a good one...South Carolina losing to The Citadel in 2015! LSU to Troy in 2017. Miss St to South Alabama in 2016. Florida to Georgia Southern in 2013. See how this is going, Claaaaay?! See how moronic your statement is, Claaaaay?! I realize that this fine website is focused on SEC football, and I realize that Arkansas football is not that great right now, but to say (and emphasize that you really mean it) the Hogs should be forced to play themselves back into the conference is nothing more than a publicity stunt manufactured to garner media and fan attention. It's not serious sports journalism. The Hogs baseball team was an out away from winning the College World Series this year! The basketball team made the Big Dance! Our track and field teams kick ALL of your asses every year! But, none of that matters, I guess. Clay, you are wrong. Pure and simple.

Eventually, each major conference will have 16 schools. Oklahoma is a premiere football school historically, with very good basketball and baseball history as well. The Sooners would be a great addition to the SEC. The big question is this: If/when the SEC adds OU, do they go ahead and take Oklahoma St too, or do they go after an east coast school, like UNC, NC State, or Va Tech? I say, go after a current ACC member! Remember, it's all about money and TV viewers, so forget any pre-conceived notions you may have about any teams football program. OU would not only add a quality team to the SEC, it would add the Oklahoma City, Tulsa, and maybe even the Wichita TV markets. While Wichita and Tulsa are not huge TV markets, OK City is a bigger market, not to mention the number of Sooner fans in the Dallas area. Adding UNC or NC State would gain the SEC the Charlotte TV market. My prediction: The Big XII will collapse within 5 years like Finebaum said, the Longhorns will end up as an independent school like Notre Dame, OU joins the SEC, Texas Tech joins the Pac-12, the Big Ten might pick up one or two teams (Kansas, Kansas St, Iowa St)?, and the rest of the left-overs join up with some schools from the C-USA to form an all-new SWC!

I've said for four years now, there is no rhyme or reason why a high profile recruit (other than being inside the state of Miss, or a legacy recruit) would choose Ole Miss and their average facilities and average program, over other more high profile and/or established schools, other than there are extra enticements being doled out in Oxford. The Rebs sign classes in the 30's and 40's, occasionally in the 20's, and then all of a sudden Hugh Freeze nabs the #5 class?! Really?! I don't think so.

Byers isn't going to qualify academically, and he has shown zero interest in going to Arkansas. Josh Frazier bought into the Saban-Bama thing, and was a non-factor for the Tide until this year, as opposed to the in-state DL Arkansas did get in Bijhon Jackson. Crockett didn't get an offer because there were character issues, and Arkansas got a higher ranked RB in Devwah Whaley. Do better.

*sigh* Once again SDS gets their "facts" wrong. Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium's official capacity is currently 72,000. The university has a few thousand temporary seats that can be brought in, which would account for the attendance being 75,459. There are renovations on-going, which began after the final home game for 2016. The north end zone is being enclosed, adding 5,000 seats (not counting standing areas like they have at the Dallas Cowboys stadium), and two new monster screens. If Hurts thought it was loud this year, wait until there are 77,000 screaming Hog fans in an enclosed stadium in 2018! Maybe Arkansas can find a way to finally beat Bama. Stranger things have happened. WPS!

Alabama is locked in with Hurts for at least the next two years, as long as he stays healthy. Austin Allen will start for Arkansas in 2017, and the O-Line should be better, which will hopefully translate into better protection for Allen. Beilema will need to find new pass catchers to go with the only returning WR with experience, Jared Cornelius. White will probably be the guy for Auburn in 2017, but I can see a drop off in the running game next year IF Pettway leaves early. Stidham's stats are skewed due to the type of offense Baylor runs. Etling will start for LSU, but with Fournette gone, opposing defenses will key on Guice. Without a strong running game, Etling will struggle. Patterson will be a good one for Ole Miss...but they are declining fast, and a lot of it has to do with the NCAA's recruiting violation investigation...just look at OM's 2017 class. Miss St is set with Fitzgerald. He's very good! But the talent level in the hole that is Starkville is no where close to top notch. A&M has loads of talent, but they apparently don't have quality QB's since Knight was able to transfer in and win the job. Now they have to decide between another transfer in Hubenak, who didn't wow anyone, and a pair of unproven freshmen.

In fact!...ESPN is also predicting Arkansas to go to a New Year's Day bowl game! So how in the hell can they be predicted to go to a NYD bowl AND be predicted to lose the rest of their games BY THE SAME PEOPLE?! morons.

Arkansas is better than Miss St, Mizzou, and Auburn...Florida's offense is sketchy, LSU has ZERO passing game, and Ole Miss can't defend the run in the second half against good run teams. I mean, are we really gonna take ESPN's word on this matter? Really?! At best, they're like Mel Kiper with his draft picks...they're right half of the time...hell, I can do that.

Still butthurt over that loss to us last year, huh?

Mid evil?! Really?! Mid evil?!!! Geez...it's medieval, which is an era in human history! Not mid evil, like you're talking about some kind of middle of the road mean dude that does somewhat evils things to puppies. Jackwagon.

I think it is also worth mentioning that La Tech lost 6 starters on offense, to include their QB Jeff Driskel (former Gator) and RB Kenneth Dixon, not to mention 3 linemen. Tech also lost at least 7 starters on defense. This is a game that the Hogs must take seriously, but it is also a game that Arkansas should end up winning by four or five touchdowns.

LOL! That's hilarious! The player he mentioned in Bryant, AR isn't even being recruited by Bielema and the Hogs. Besides, Louisiana has a bigger population than Arkansas, and therefore more high school football players. LSU can't sign them all. But, the ones the Hogs have been signing out of the Pelican State have been producing, especially against LSU. The only player LSU has signed from Arkansas in the last 20 years was a center from Stuttgart, and that was a decade ago, and both of his parents had gone to LSU. If Arkansas high school players that are offered by the Razorbacks took a look at how others that sign with out of state schools (Alabama, Auburn, Clemson), they would see that a vast majority of them end up on the bench, as a back up, in trouble, or transferring to a smaller school. That could have happened at Arkansas too, of course, but at least they would have been Razorbacks to the fans, at least for awhile. Razorback fans know how to take care of our guys after football is over. Ask 4* DT Josh Frazier (Alabama), or 5* QB Keihl Frazier (Auburn), or 5* RB Michael Dyer (Auburn), or 4* WR Zac Brooks (Clemson) how things have worked out for them after not signing with the Hogs. Or, RIP, 4* RB Altee Tenpenny (Alabama). None of those highly rated recruits faired well at all away from Arkansas, and that has been the case for awhile now. KJ Hill went to Ohio St and redshirted last year, and 2017 4* DT Akial Byers has committed to Alabama, so we shall see. If I had to guess, I would say Byers get buried on the depth chart, and Hill doesn't make a significant contribution until his junior year, if at all. But I digress. It's a funny video! :D

Baylor, TCU, Ole Miss, LSU, and Oklahoma are overrated. North Carolina, Stanford, and Ohio St are underrated. Arkansas will be in the Top 25 by season's end. IMO

The Hogs won't lose until the Alabama game. TCU is good, but they lost 7-8 starters on both sides of the ball. Do not see Bama losing to USC, FSU will stomp Ole Miss, Florida will lose at Tennessee on Sept 24, Georgia will lose to Tennessee on Oct 1, Kentucky at Florida, won't be surprised to see LSU lose to Wisconsin in week 1, Miss St loses at LSU in week 3, South Carolina at Vandy week 1, Tennessee to Alabama on Oct 15, won't be shocked to see A&M lose opening week to UCLA but if they don't it'll be week 4 vs Arkansas, Vandy in week 3 at Georgia Tech.

Wait...did you really just predict Arkansas to lose to Louisiana Tech, a team that lost 9 starters of offense on at least 7 on defense, AND Alcorn St?! Smh Gimme a freakin break!

Hugh Freeze wasn't very smart about his recruiting efforts. He got too much too fast. Ole Miss had not had a Top 10 recruiting class in what, 40 or 50 years, and his second class (after a 7-6 season) he rakes in the #5 class in the nation with three 5-star players?! Really?! The class of 2016 actually makes sense after the season they had. But that 2013 class?! Getting 5* guys from Illinois and Florida over the usual suspects?! No, that is suspicious, and everyone knew it except Rebs fans. Yall might want to prepare yourselves for some intense NCAA investigations.

And his name isn't Telvin. It's McTelvin...or use his nickname, Sosa.

Agim? A&M? Really?! Don't insult the Hogs like that. Hey Chris Wright, is this an honest mistake, or are you an Aggies fan and this is wishful thinking?

Oh yeah baby! That's a good one! hahahahaha!!!...cause you know it's true.

Yeahhhh...you WISH.

I would think he would be eligible immediately since he sat out last year.

You're right, Arkansas stumbled early on, especially against Toledo. That was a game the Hogs overlooked and they paid for it. But, if you are talking about the rushing game, it was key in every game except Toledo and Alabama. Alex Collins torched Texas Tech on the ground, but the Arkansas secondary sucked. Any other year and Collins is a 1st Team SEC lock...but he had Henry and Fournette ahead of him in 2015.

A "C" in Facilities?! ARE YOU OUTTA YOUR DAMN MIND?!!! have you even been to Fayetteville to see the UA's facilities?! I'm gonna guess the answer is No. Aside from a beautiful and modern football stadium that can seat 75,000, the weight room is 100 yards long!, the practice fields are beautiful and modern, and the brand new Fred Smith athletic center/training center is state of the art! Go see for yourself before you just throw out C, like it's some kind of junior high history test. Geez! Woo Pig.

One curious thing that people should look at concerning top recruits leaving Arkansas for rival schools..... All but one, OT Lee Ziemba who went to Auburn, were more or less failures, either outright or eventually. Dyer started great but ended a dud. Altee Tenpenny (RIP) never accomplished much of anything at Alabama, and neither has DT Josh Frazier to date. Zac Brooks went to Clemson and promptly disappeared. QB Keihl Frazier went to Auburn, began well but ended with a transfer. WR KJ Hill went to Ohio St, but his career has yet to begin after redshirting last year. Basically, it seems that 90% of recruits in Arkansas that are offered by the Hogs but go to other schools, especially rival SEC schools, end up as duds. Maybe they should become Hogs and help their home state team, Iinstead of going elsewhere to help another team beat Arkansas. Just a thought.
