It’s time to stop calling yourself a college football fan (much less a writer), if you’re calling for players to sit out of bowl games. Many of us don’t care about the NFL and want the “experts” to quit devaluing the games.

Ron's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that he calls friends.

*I expect KJ to excel. Autocorrect strikes again

He was the OC when Arkansas peaked with Bret. He is an excellent QB coach and a solid OC. I expected KJ to excel under his leadership

I've had mixed thoughts about Briles. I won't be too sad to see him leave. I'd like to see Pittman bring Dan Enos back. He's likely the best Qb coach we've had in a long time and his play calling didn't leave us scratching our heads.

I agree. People for Eating Tasty Animals will be writing soon to request some ribs and pulled pork.

I may be guilty of forgetting his flaws, but I remember liking Dan Enos better than KB. Enos is likely the best QB coach we’ve had in decades and didn’t have the poorly timed trick plays that killed drives. I’m convinced that no other QB Coach would have been able to help the Allen brothers produce that well!

Dad joke approved

Dang my Arkansas education...*Arkansas is terrible at everything when people start talking about us*

TOO LATE! WE JUST FOUND OUT! AU IS GOOD AT BASKETBALL EVERYBODY! GO AHEAD AND STOP TALKING ABOUT ARKANSAS, AND HYPE UP AU! ARKANSAS ARE TERRIBLE AT EVERYTHING WHEN PEOPLE START TALKING ABOUT US

Be honest, How much money do you owe KB? Or is he just your man crush? Fumbling the ball was part of the equation, but he stalled out 3 of our drives with stupid play calls (back to back double reverses) that would have put the game away. He has become better as the season has progressed, likely because Pittman has helped him. The version of KB that we have at this point is very valuable and I hope he stays. The version of KB we had at the beginning of the season was not good.

KB definitely cost us the Texas A&M game this year. It’s pretty obvious that Pittman reigned him in

Now that we are 4-3, I take it extremely personal if someone predicts that we will lose a game ever! We’ve clearly been playing left handed all season to lure everyone to sleep! Or maybe…. We should be patient and temper our expectations. I’m leaning towards the former! ?

That's funny. I would also say the game is very likely to reach overtime if our track record is any indication of how this game will play out.

Fair analysis. The homer in me wants to think that we haven't quite opened the whole play book yet and that our offense will really start firing on all cylinders this week. I think we will start to see some new wrinkles in the offense that include Hornsby (backup QB), who is the fastest man on our roster and we will open up the pass game in a way that will make it impossible for A&M to overload the box to stop our running backs. I'm certain that Arkansas has a better rush attack than Miami, and they were pretty effective on the ground. Getting some guys back on defense this week along with some shuffling from Coach Odom should help our pass defense, or we are in for a long season.

Hahaha, I understand that for sure! Those family gatherings can be tough!

I'm guessing that this is self-deprecating humor. I can appreciate that because it takes humility. You guys will get that offense to gel and start scoring some points. Obviously, App State wouldn't held us to 14 points, especially when you consider that they just gave up 63 to UNC. A&M has some elite talent, and I imagine that will show during the upcoming matchup with Miami.

Again, I have to agree. I'm glad we get Bama at home, but we aren't on their level. There is only 1 or 2 games on our schedule that we can afford to play less than our absolute best without getting beaten.

Agreed. We still don't know if Cinci is any good and we probably won't for a while.

I look forward to it! I love seeing the Aggies and Hogs battling it out in Arlington. I look forward to the games being moved back to our home stadiums, but its been fun watching them.

Take it easy A&M fans! I'm not implying that A&M is not a tough match up or even that Arkansas will win that game. I'm saying that the matchup in Starkville is the one that I'm least looking forward to watching. Arkansas can easily lose both of those games. I have a better feeling about our chances to beat A&M in Arlington, but I'm not calling a sure W there either.

I agree the Miss State comment. I think playing in Starkville will be the toughest matchup (outside of Bama) that Arkansas has this year.

Hard to argue. The pass D looked weak and became weaker during the game with some injuries. I’m hoping the injuries were minor and coaching will help with the blown coverages. Otherwise, we are in for a long season.

No Kool-Aid drinking here. I think we have several glaring questions/potential weak spots coming into the season. I just wouldn't list our passing game at the top of that list.

I like Farthog better! I'm changing my name. Thank you!

I know its hard to get into the weeds with every team in the conference, but if you had been paying attention to Arkansas, you would know that our receiving core has developed into an asset instead of being the liability that we thought it would be back in the spring. KJ has multiple excellent targets and the passing game will be better this year by committee. The D-line is the biggest question/area of concern that I have going into the season.

Conveniently ignoring the fact that A&M barely beat the worst teams that Arkansas has ever had. Don’t worry, more losses are on the way.

Won't stop us from beating A&M again.

A good hobby helps! Tennessee has excellent mountain biking

Nice! My favorite mountain biking spot is the Buffalo Outdoor Center in Ponca. That’s also a great spot to float the Buffalo. I’m glad you were able to sense the comment was made in good fun and not actually a slight against you!
