WATCH: John Chavis says he lost sleep after Arkansas's abysmal performance vs. Mississippi State
The Arkansas Razorbacks went into Starkville on Saturday and got blown out by Mississippi State 52-6.
The Hogs were dominated on both sides of the ball, but the defense really struggled. DC John Chavis discussed the embarrassing effort during a press conference on Monday.
At about the 5:30 mark of the video below, shared on YouTube by Hit That Line, Chavis says he lost sleep after the terrible defensive performance:
“Hell, I didn’t sleep. I didn’t sleep any Saturday night,” Chavis says. “I slept a few hours Sunday morning, but it bothers you when you don’t get your best. That has to do with me, that has to do with preparation, that has to do with everybody around. If you can go home and go to sleep, something’s wrong. I’m not suggesting you have to kill yourself or anything like that, but you don’t feel good. I had a high school coach tell me a long time ago that the only cure that gets that feeling back is winning.”
The Hogs play a tough Mizzou team on Friday, and will be without two defensive starters due to suspension for the short week. Things could get ugly for the season finale on Friday afternoon.
O joy we made national headlines again……..for fraternizing with cheerleaders……..fraternizing with cheerleaders ?!?!?!? What ?!?!?
Suspend 2 D backs, (that gave up 10 yards a play) for fraternizing with cheerleaders ?!?!? Heck just suspend the whole defense and bring in some blind crippled powder puff girls……same difference with no doubt the same end result.
Why on earth would you condone flirting with cheerleaders before a game? I did that in high school and was benched. Then immediately following the game I ran until I puked. This team has shown time and again they have no buy into what Coach Morris is doing and have no focus. Do you think Sabans players talk to anyone other than the team and coaching staff before the game? The answer is a flat out NO!Morris to take their scholarship for all I care and give it to someone who actually wants to win! Get all the Beilema softies off this team and the sooner the better!
I like how London brought the same stale, cut and pasted comment into this thread from another. It’s just as funny here as it was there. Comedy gold…eye roll…
And Razor, I agree with all your thoughts. I think Bert let guys do whatever because he tried to be their friend. I suspect CM runs a far tighter ship and expects a certain level of professionalism for lack of a better term. Hell, just take Bert himself for example. He’d show up to a press conference looking like he was coming off a 3 day bender. If I’m paying someone $4+ million I’d expect them to look like a professional. It all starts from the top down. The guys who can’t carry themselves properly or represent the U of A well need to go. It’s not all about the wins and losses.
Oh and I’ve seen Bama play at home and was in the stands for all the pregame routines. No one wearing Crimson got near the opposing team’s people. There was zero fraternization. That Saban guy…kinda good at his job don’t ya think?
To be honest, the defense did fairly well in the first half, but with the offense going 3 and out so often just wore out the defense. We don’t have the depth to compete at a high level for 80+ snaps a game.
