Though the Arkansas Razorbacks will likely have four more games left this season (three regular-season games and a bowl), their home schedule will end on Saturday night against LSU.
Coach Bret Bielema said in Wednesday’s SEC Media Presser that he anticipates shedding some tears when the upperclassmen are honored for Senior Night before the game.
“When you are a man and you are not afraid to cry, it shows something about you,” he said. “I don’t want to be known as that but I have no problem showing that. I wear it on my sleeve.”
The Razorbacks’ coach recalled a tearful moment with now-Cleveland Browns OL Joe Thomas on his senior night at Wisconsin when Bielema was coaching there.
However, Bielema added that he’s hoping to save the real tears not for Senior Night, but for after a bowl game.
“It’s a little anti-climatic because we have hopefully four more games together.”
Arkansas and LSU square off in Fayetteville at 6 p.m. Central time on Saturday. The game can be seen on ESPN.
