Arkansas AD provides comments in aftermath of postponed game against Missouri
Arkansas was scheduled to play Missouri on Saturday in Columbia, but due to positive COVID-19 tests and resulting contact tracing within the Razorbacks program, the game will be postponed until a later date.
Shortly after the official announcement from the SEC, Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek released a statement on Twitter addressing the decision.
“[Coach] Pittman and I are disappointed that we could not find a viable path for our student-athletes to safely compete at Missouri this weekend,” Yurachek tweeted. “We will use this week as an opportunity to get healthy again and we look forward to playing Alabama and Missouri to end the season.”
Mizzou will instead play Vanderbilt on Saturday, as its game against the Commodores postponed from Oct. 17 was originally set to be made up on Dec. 12—but will be moved up, leaving Arkansas and Mizzou an open date then. No official announcement has been made, though.
Arkansas’ next scheduled game is set for Dec. 5 as it will host Alabama in Fayetteville.
They don’t want to play Mizzou a little short handed, they don’t want to play Mizzou without Catalon starting and would rather him serve is cheap shot suspension against anyone else, we get it. Makes perfect sense from Ark pov to dodge Mizzou right now.
Dumb comment. Arkansas not dodging anyone, any more than any other team that’s had to postpone/reschedule this season. Jeeze, between you and wolfman, I have trouble deciding which one of you makes Mizzou fans look worse
It’s call ribbing, trash talking, ect. and pretty much the only reason anyone posts on this site. It didn’t take me long to realize what this site is all about, or at least a vast majority of those posting here. And don’t worry, no one of any importance ever reads this stuff. Keep it clean, keep it fun, but most importantly take it with a grain of salt my friend.
Listen to your boy he sounds like a reasonable person.
Ok, I expect you to show up and keep your Arkansas buddies in line just the same. But it’s funny I’ve never seen you once reply to the plethora of Arkansas fans talking trash on here, especially the ones who hang out on Mizzou write ups.
Thanks for that though I would say Wolfman is the winner by a nose. I think Mizzou is a good program that will only get better after Drink gets established.
I think boo is wolfman’s brother, uncle, or cousin by the things he posts.
You may be right lol.
To make it even, I’ll cancel out the trash talk. We cacelled because we didn’t want to embarrass our neighbor too much beating you with a short squad.
Oh boy…looks like we’re trying to turn this game into a rivalry game. lol
The manufactured rivalry is being postponed?…Bummer, I look forward to this rivalry game every year (as I roll my eyes!!!)…Seriously, I was looking forward to it, as this year, Barry Odom returns to Columbia. Just going to have to wait I guess.
I still hate Kansas way more than Arky but at least I care about the upcoming game a little more than before. I want to beat Odom in the worst way. He may be a great dc but he was a really frustrating hc. You all got a taste of that in the way he handled the Florida game. The hogs didn’t look ready to play and made zero meaningful adjustments during the game. And yea I know Kansas is one of the worst programs in CF but I hate them anyway.
The only reason Mizzou fans haven’t seen much trash talking from Hog fans is it is hard to trash talk when you are the laughingstock of the SEC. But I’ve been around Hog fans for years. Wait till they get their program rolling like it was with Petrino. They will kick Mizzou every year and Kansas fans don’t come close to the arrogance of Hog fans when they are good. They will declare themselves Alabama II.
Yawn.
Things that grind my gears.
Golf announcers saying hole location instead of saying the pin is located at the back of the green, etc. We all know the hole is where the pin is.
Baseball announcers saying “up in the zone, etc. instead of up in the strike zone”.
Using the term good looks instead of good shots in basketball. Just because I look at something doesn’t mean I took a shot.
Athletic directors or announcers saying “student athletes” instead of players. We know they are students or should be. Is this away of showing everyone that your players are actually enrolled in school?
I hope you don’t say ATM Machine.
You may be right lol
Imo it is a rivalry game. But the rivalry is on the other sports. Basketball was a huge one for a short time. Nothing beat peeler coming to yetville and schooling both todd day and lee mayberry.
