Arkansas Coach Bobby Petrino spoke to the media before he and his staff talked about the 2010 recruiting class to the Little Rock Razorback club Thursday night.
Petrino thinks the D-line signees bring more size, strength and speed to the defensive front . He talked about Arkansas being undersized over the last two years and how the D-line class will add to the competition.
He thinks the 2011 in-state crop will be a great class.
Arkansas will stay in North Florida with WR coach Kris Cinkovich in charge of area. Petrino said the Hogs will probably stay away from South Florida because of the travel difficulties of getting there from Fayetteville.
He said the Razorbacks will focus more on Texas with four coaches recruiting the state. San Antonio will be an area they hit more aggressively along with other parts of the state. Mississippi will be another place the Hogs plan to recruit harder.
Petrino said Arkansas will entertain several juniors this Saturday. He said the prospects will attend the Arkansas-Auburn basketball game.

Thanks Richard.
Appreciate the update Richard.
It looks like the coaches are getting all geared up for the 2011 in-staters.
I also like the fact they plan on hitting Texas and Miss. a little harder this year too.
I think Razorback recruiting is about to become really interesting.
GO HOGS GO, BABY!!!!!
I’m thinking along the same lines as you, Gonzo. It seems the coaches are extremely serious & focused going after this next class.
RD, I hope you have a well-deserved vacation planned out in the next few weeks!
I would think they’ll be attacking the DFW area extremely hard with the Jerry World game there every year.
The fact that we will be kicking the crap out of a-and-m every year, right there in front of them, certainly bodes well.
I wonder if they are gonna offer that Harvill kid? The Lemming web-site has him listed in the 2011 “pre-season” top 100.
I really can’t get a feel for that guy. Obviously stronger than dirt, but he’ a little undersized, from what I understand. I’m really speaking out of the side of my head, as i don’t know what his potential is for different positions. What do you think? I’d love it if he gets an offer.
idk, maybe he’s not that good and I’m just intrigued by his ridiculous strength. Still, it seems there has to be a spot for a Herculean specimen like that somewhere. Possibly as a FB or LB/DE.

Well do you think if Joker Phillips was named the Ala coach tomorrow it wouldn’t effect Bamas w/l record next year? THe Vandy coach to Fla for that matter! Also, do you really thing if the entire Fla class went to Vandy instead they would be ranked no 1. Your delusional, the reality is that the major market teams enjoy edges other teams don’t! Yes they have good teams but the effort it takes to get there is much easier on them. Thats why all of them are the bigger more powerful schools in money, enrollment, booster riches/contacts, any way you want to look at it! If you don’t enjoy the thrill of a smaller school rising up and smiting them once in a while then you should consider becoming a fan of the big boys instead! Thats the easy way out, take it! For me, Root Hog or Die forever!

I just read this. Amen, hogfan1509! It’ll be our turn soon.
Great news Richard. I hope our fans pack Bud Walton Saturday to root the Hogs to a W.
oh and to show these 2011 recruits love also of coure. i hope we get these big time in state players to join Dean and Allen in making early commitments. that would give us such good momentum.
Exactly, Blake.
6 known instate juniors offered so far and more to come. Not recruiting south Florida. Recruiting Texas harder. Sounds like Petrino is changing things up from what he did this past year.

Alabama isn’t anywhere near a major market. You are referring to television market right? I assume that since when folks say “major market” that’s what they mean. San Diego State is in a major market and a state loaded with blue chippers and they’re not very good. There are other examples of major market teams that are not very good.
MRP did you get in Petrino’s ear?? lol
No, he reads this blog! LOL
I expect a few commitments this weekend.
I hope so but I don’t want to go overboard with offer projections. Probably 12 – 14 should be expected would be my guess. Probably sign 8 to 10.
We have 6 known offers out so far.
And you have to think we’ll offer Bodenstein, Harvill, Foster, Griswold, Shearin.
And I hear there’s a DT in Forrest City they like. Plus, Cooksey out of NLR. And I know I’m missing some names. I don’t have my list in front of me.
MRP,
Do you have Microsoft Office ? If so, will you send me an email ? I have something to share with you.

Oh my gosh,
Now CBP is going to give move in state players scholarships not because of the state having more talent next year but because he reads this blog site (i.e. MrP). How much more of this ego-centered crap are we going to have to put up with? I’ll HANG UP AND LISTEN!!!!!!!
Do you have a Rivals account ?
I meant *more*
OKOFCOURSE, You need to let go of the rope. Before it gets tangled around your neck !
Kissie……Kissie!!!!!
Yes, I do. I’ll email you.
OKOFCOURSE, it was a joke.
Kissie……Kissie!!!!! I’ll HANG UP AND LISTEN!!!!
Thanks MRP
OKOFCOURSE, I sent you an email.
Looks like the quarterback of say, three years from now will be Allen or Walker. Then again, Petrino may find another 5* out there in a year or two. In reviewing our on campus players at the moment, it looks like our cornerbacks and safties are good and strong for a couple more years. I think Winston next year will have the breakout year we all expect him to as well as Gordon. Now lets just get those running backs to chew up some yardage. By the way, who do you all think will be that feature back next year…Wingo or Davis or Johnson?

By Razorback Roger in Florida on Feb 5, 2010 @ 8:08am
———————————————–
Davis is my guess. I just hope we are much improved in the running game. And let a RB find some rythum.
I would guess Davis. He hits the hole hard(Wingo doesn’t), has good size(Johnson doesn’t), and runs hard and through tackles(Green doesn’t). Knile Davis would have been even more highly recruited had he not been injured.
I don’t know if we will have a feature back, but we must improve our run game next year. Our defense wasn’t good last year, but it wasn’t as horrible as a lot of people want to make it out to be. Many times our offense hurt our defense. Keeping a defense on the sidelines as much as possible makes a defense much better.
Just like the receivers I think BP will work very hard to keep all his RBs involved and working hard for playing time, feed the stud, you know!
I like the way Davis hits the hole. Much more Dmac-ish. Wingo reminds me of Cedric Cobbs…sometimes dances at the LOS too much. I bet he will gain more confidence through off-season workouts and up his play for 2010. I’ve always like DJ too. From what I hear, he doesn’t always bring it to practice. I think he will take the offseason a little more seriously this spring and try and establish himself. Everyone has averaged pretty good YPC. Should be an exciting group next season.
I agree with all of you about K. Davis possibly being our feature back.
I just hope he stays healthy enough to compete going into next fall.
FBJunkie,
Your absolutely right about our offense sometimes hurting our defense.
Ryan Mallett can be the offenses best friend, while sometimes being the defenses worst enemy.
It’s good to go back onto the field with a lead, but it’s a heck of a lot better to do it with a little rest.
I’d like to see CBP instill a little more ball control into the offense. That all starts with R. Mallett not trying to always force the ball downfield for quik strikes.
Maybe with the improvement of the O-line and RBS, we’ll get there next season.
Does anyone know what Lemming had to say about our class on the radio last night??
Redhog, I posted it last night.
Big Tex HS coach was just on Shawn and Wally. He said he weighs 306 and he eats lunch with him everyday now. Has him running the stairs. Has the cafeteria fixing him salads for lunch. Big Tex came home from his visit and said Coach, they weighed me at Ark. I need help.
By Ron in Germany on Feb 4, 2010 @ 6:43pm
Blake, Lemming is very impressed with our class. He has talked about how he can tell the difference between a productive player at a small school vs a semi productive player in a large school. Even he gets it wrong sometimes.
By Ron in Germany on Feb 4, 2010 @ 6:49pm
He’s eating his way right onto the D line, just where we really want him. If he wants to run the ball he better lose about 50-60 lbs.
By HogFanBrad on Feb 4, 2010 @ 6:50pm
Talked about Petrino recruiting system. Being National. Every year he see’s a marked improvement. Impressed with our DT’s. Every school is looking for great recruiters. Thinks Walker will be a good QB. He says Pkg deals are a good thing. They happen more than we know.
By Ron in Germany on Feb 4, 2010 @ 6:55pm
THANKS RON!!
MRPRFCT, We are doing exactly what we need to do with 6 in-state offers and counting Darion Griswold, Wesleigh Foster, Brad Sherion, Travis Bodstein, Dylan Hale, Artez Brown, Kyle Coleman, Grady Ollison, Tommy Jacson, Mitch Hall, Isaac McCoy, Sam Harvill and Antino Cooksey should all get offers. I hope the next offer is to Artez Brown he is 6`1 almost 200lbs and might be the best RB in-state but will most likely be a CB the type of CB that you can put on an Island against the other teams # 1. If we can get into the Dallas/Fort Worth area and get most of these kids we can have a top 15 class.(IMO)
I think if we close the state off and sign the top guys and get our share of Tulsa and Texas guys we’ll have a Top 10-15 class. I’m excited about the 2011 class and I believe Petrino will clean up this year.
You’re welcome Redhog
That’s why I don’t like Gus Malzah. And his system. He puts a lot of pressure on his own defense with the hurry-up no-huddle offense.
I posted this on another threat, but it is more relevant to this one…someone suggested that Brey Cook (OL from Har-Ber) might be a 5* recruit for 2011.
It looks like Brey Cook is interested in OU. If he is a 5* recruit and he goes to OU, that would look really bad on CBP to lose two 5*s in a row. Frazier is going to be a hard sell too. Hopefully they both love the HOGS as much as we do, and will want to be a part of building a championship caliber team here at home.
I would love to see Frazier and Brandon Allen both come to UA and create another QB U. Guys could line up on the depth chart and wait for their turn to lead the nation in passing and get a shot at the NFL (like Texas Tech and USC).
Glad to see Willy predicting good improvement in line play this year! SHows that he feels progress is being made, sounded like he felt one or two of the recruits will get playing time this fall also! Also, seems everyone including the coaches are predicting kickoffs for touchbacks! If only the punting game improves our special teams might be a real strenth for a change! I too agree that the offense needs to work hard on ball control, that will lessen the opponents time on offense and give the defense needed breaks! Sure looks like the Hogs have a real shot at a great season, can’t wait! Go Hogs!
Good point MrPrfct. We need to hit all the surrounding states North LA, West MS, Memphis area, DFW and East Texas and I’ve lived in North Florida. I know how fertile that area is. It’s Football 12 months out of the year. Go Hogs!
The thing that Malzahn’s system requires is incredible depth on the defensive side of the ball, since they are the field so much. I still remember the USC game (although I try to forget it). The offense would go out, throw a deep ball incomplete, try a gimmick play for a loss, throw a screen for a minimal gain, and punt. They would burn about 30 seconds off the clock and give the defense about 3 minutes to rest. I seriously felt sorry for our defensive players in the second half. They were hurting and embarassed, and Carroll was calling pass plays late in the 4th Qtr (was Kiffin the OC then?). Malzahn’s system didn’t work at Arkansas because we didn’t have the depth we needed at defense (and Nutt handcuffed him).
I hate to say it, but in the next couple of years, Auburn might have the kind of depth to make that system work. Don’t get me wrong though, I’d rather have CBP’s more reliable offensive system than Malzahn’s gimmicks.
Lets face it, with Allen being a coaches son and highly regarded luring a second QB into the fray next year is going to be a tough sell! I too hope we get both, but the top players want to play quickly and most are looking hard at where they will wind up! As for Cook, who knows at this point, at least we’ve got a year to work on him!
Ryan Mallett threw 30 TDs and 7 INTs. How can you fault him for ball control? CBP’s offense is predicated on the deep ball. You have to stretch the field and throw it deep on a regular basis (and run the ball up the middle) to make everything else work. Granted, there were a few times early in the year when he got greedy (UGA game) when he should have just gotten the 1st down, but later in the year, Ryan was as solid as I’ve seen at QB in a long time. If he can consistently use good footwork and not sail the ball occassionally, he could be the best QB the SEC has ever seen. He should easily pass for 4000 yards next season.
Amen, hogfan.
Georgia signed 2 top 10 QBs a year ago. Guys like Frazier know there’s gonna be competition anywhere they go. Brandon Allen being Bobby Allen’s son shouldn’t matter because Petrino is going to play the best QB regardless.
Man I’ll take a td anyway I can get it! However, quick strikes do put pressure on your defense and give the opponent more time to respond. A few long time consuming drives would be nice for that reason.
I agree MRP, thats the way I’d like to see it play out also but you just don’t know how Frazier looks at it and what his options will be.
If Keihl Frazier commits to the Hogs, I hope he doesn’t have trouble handling the snap from under center.
A lot of so called fans are already writing off Tyler Wilson as the next starting QB because of that very thing.
They both come from a spread offense, just like Mitch Mustain did. Remember him? I believe he bobbled a few snaps back in the day.
Agree. But CBP calls plays with that in mind. You can’t go out every series and throw the long ball every other down. You mix it up and keep the defense guessing. Sometimes a playcaller thinks he can do anything and gets greedy though. CBP seems to be a very disciplined, methodical, calculating playcaller. There’s always room to second guess though.
The D gave up too many big plays last year, but I think that may be part of the philosophy (although there’s no excuse for just not tackling well). The thing that really kills us is when the other team puts together a ball controlling drive and wears down our D. That handcuffs our offense a little because it forces them to try to hold the ball a little longer and not strike quickly.
There’s a lot that goes into calling plays. Those guys earn every dollar they make.
Ron will you send me that email list of what I think it is?
I’m sure Frazier is putting in extra reps taking a snap from center so he’s not the next Tyler Wilson.
I believe it is reciprocal. If our running game had been more productive last year we would not have had to rely on the passing game so much.
If he wants to play in the NFL, he should come to UA and learn how to play from under center.
Good point, Ron.
We were in 3rd and long way too often last year.
I sent you something Blake.
I personally think that we will see huge improvements in the running game this year. Chris Klenakis is going to prove to be a huge improvement as an OL coach if you ask me.
Look at what he did at Nevada, this past year in leading the SEC in rushing for the first time in NCAA history they produced three 1,000 yard rushers in a single season. DiZaM!
And I can guarantee you he and Horton are talking together and just smiling with all the talent they have in the backfield.
Johnson, Davis, Wingo, and Green.
Then there are 3 or 4 other talented backs who have faded into the background some. Who knows if this offseason one of them goes Hog Wild and makes a charge forward.
Didn’t I see where Petrino has decided to keep Curtis on offense instead of switching him over to defense?
I just hope they all stick around so we can keep feeding them.
I hope so. I love Curtis catching the ball out of the backfield.
Gonzo, Don`t be bitter about Tyler Wilson.lol He does still have a shot at QB. I don`t think it will be the center quarterback exchange that keeps him from playing. It`ll be Brandon Mitchell(experts on the hill say he is the QB of the future not Wilson) bigger, more mobile and better arm.(from what I hear)
Thanks Ron. I thought that’s what it was. I saw your earlier email.
Thanks!
Curtis was switched late last year before the Liberty Bowl to DB
You’re welcome Blake
My comment wasn’t a bash on QB play hurting the defense, it was the lack of being able to run effectively to keep our defense fresh. No matter how good a defense is, the more snaps an offense gets the better their chances of success. Just my opinion, but in the NC game Texas got their momentum going when Bama started getting conservative on offense causing their defense to be on the field too much.
Regarding running back, I always thought Davis had the look and moves of a true RB.
I’m curious to see if Big Tex gets a chance to run with the ball. In his video you can see he’s got the moves needed at RB, and he likes to hit people.
I honestly think if Michael Smith didn’t get injured we would have won at least one of the fives games we lost. Smith could have given us a 8-4 season or possibly 9-3. A good RB can make a major difference. Hopefully someone will step up this year.
Regarding QB, do you remember the discussion earlier this year with Kiehl’s father? I believe it was last month.
I read that during the days surrounding Mr. Frazier’s comments on this board, Kiehl Frazier was in Auburn visitng with Malzahn and Chizik.
Yes, not talking on the phone……… visiting in Auburn.
It looks like Nutt’s gonna get Taylor Reed QB El Dorado and Jaalen Watkins RB Pulaski Robinson.
Big Boi,
Who’s your expert source on the hill, regarding our QBs?
Isn’t Pulaski Robinson where D-Mac came from?
As a razorback fan living in Houston, I would be careful thinking the Hogs are going to own A&M every year. They are an up and coming young football team that just kicked our butts in recruiting. As a matter of fact don’t be shocked if they turn the tables on us as early as next year.
Pulaski Oak Grove = Dmac
Thanks WPSGHG. I remember now.
Between Nutt, Malzahn, Tubby, and the big boys i.e, FL, AL, OU, etc, we may have a hard time keeping a lot of these guys in-state, but a HOG will always be a HOG! It does look like CBP is getting a head start this year.
Gonzo,
I’m friends with a couple of trainers for the football team. Petrino and Co. are very excited about Mitchell. Incredible athlete with a better arm than Wilson. I think both are great players but Mitchell will get the opportunity to compete for the backup job and Tyler will have his hands full holding him off.
Trey Biddy, Bo Mattingly. I pretty much think everyone but you think Mitchell is the future not Wilson. We`ll see after summer, spring ball might be to soon to move Mitchell ahead of Wilson (Mitchell`s injury)
MRPFCT, I hear Trevon Reed is the real deal at WR, and could be a college QB as well. When i made my list earlier of in-state kids that should get offers I forgot about Reed.
I don’t think kids these days put as much stock into staying in-state and playing for the home school like they used to do.
The more heavily recruited kids will go where they think they can fit in, play early and win championships.
The trust thing also plays a big role with some of these kids.
Being a great recruiter is sometimes more than just words. Sometimes it has a lot to do with who your recruiting for, rather than what you say.
If you can’t offer a bigtime recruit a chance for national exposure with the expectation of winning championships, it may not be enough.
More times than not, it won’t be.
With all that being said, I think our chances are good with the 2011 in-state recruits.
The UofA is exciting right now for this group.
GO HOGS GO, BABY!!!!!
Say what you will, but I think BP’s already drawn a line in the sand with Frazier! If he wants to overly court the out of state teams I imagine thats where he will wind up. You just don’t need to invite discourse on your team if you know somes attitudes aren’t where they need to be. Not to say that thats whats happening, but I really doubt BP will chase the kid to NSD if thats what it is going to take! In state loyalty goes both ways!
Big Boi,
It’s funny you mention Bo and Trey as ammunition for your argument concerning Mitchell.
I’ve seen evidence you disagree with their assesments of recruits more than you agree.
First of all, let me clear something up. Tyler Wilson isn’t my hometown hero, as you have suggested. I just know what he’s capable of throu first hand knowledge.
You, on the other hand, have first hand knowledge of niether.
I wish Mr. Mitchell all the best, just as I do Tyler Wilson.
I don’t make statements about TW just because of being biased. I say them them through actual and factual knowledge.
You, on the other hand, just make statements through what? “I have a source…” or “I have a couple of buddies…” or “I have a friend…”
Give me a freakin break!
I think Frazier and OC Garrick McGee have a good relationship. And don`t forget Malzahn very will could be a head coach somewhere next year and not even at Auburn.
I think the fact that Frazier and Allen are buddies may sway him to be a hog; however, if he wants to go to school somewhere else let’s not bash him.
Gonzo, Thanks for attacking my opinions. And yes I`ve seen Tyler play against Texas, Mo ST and EMU. And have seen many Highlights on youtube of Mitchell.(only HS) If you hear anything about Mitchell from the media its always “QB of the future” And anytime you hear about Wilson it`s always about his fumbles.
Overly court the outside teams? Where do you get this?
Does anyone have any info on why Mitchell Roberts didn`t sign? Could he being waiting on an Arkansas offer?
Thanks for the verification, Big Boi. That’s pretty much what I had thought.
I’m looking very forward to watching both Tyler Wilson and Brandon Mitchell excel as our future QBs.
I hope this isn`t where football recruiting is headed
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/blog/dr_saturday/post/13-year-old-commits-to-USC-and-pancakes-for-b?urn=ncaaf,217861
Lets all hope Frazier comes to the Hill. I do not want to see him go anywhere else.
McGee is recruiting him and they have a good relationship so that bodes really well for our chances, and we should probably leave it at that.
The Hogs made a very early offer to him and made it clear he was wanted on the Hill. Just because we have Allen committed shouldn’t make him think he has to go somewhere else. Where he goes will likely have a ton of QBs on campus already and they will also be actively recruiting other QBs. That is just the nature of the game.
I remember his dad coming on to talk to us all just a few weeks ago, and he said nothing but good things about Kiehl’s recruitment with Arkansas. I think that is more than a good enough reason for us all to continue to hope he comes to the Hill and to stay positive. In the end if he does go somewhere else lets not question his character, he seems like a great young man.
Check your email, Blake
I had to confirm this before I could post it:
The signing dates for basketball is April 14 thru May 19th.
It’s up now.
http://bornhogwild.fantake.com/2010/02/05/way-too-early-sec-predictions/
One reason BP hired our new O-line coach was for his knowlege of the pistol formation.With the QBs we have on campus behind Mallet,and the ones we are recruiting, like Kiehl, he wants to make his O better suited to athletic QBs.
RKV, Where do you get yor info ? I respectfully have to disagree with you. Petrino did not bring in a new coach to install a new offense. He brought him in to improve the running game. Make no mistake. Petrino will run his own offense. IMHO
Chris Klenakis, our new O-line coach was the offensive coordinator for the Nevada wolfpack……In 2008, the Wolf Pack offense steamrolled over opposing defenses to the tune of a number of school records including total offense, most rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. In 2009, Klenakis and the offense eclipsed all those marks and the Wolf Pack had the number one ranked rushing offense in the nation, averaging 344.9 yards per game. They ran a lot of their offense out of the pistol formation, which Petrino wants to get more familiar with. He did use wrinkles of this formation this past season, but the main reason he brought in coach K, is to improve the running game.
At the PC when he announced his hiring he said he was very interested in learning more about his Pistol formation. He said we used it some this year but we call it the gun and call our shotgun the shot.
Yea, we are going to use it, but not a total move to the pistol. I don’t see Petrino tying his hands with a system like that.
What Petrino said was:
We run it some and we call it the Shot. When the RB is offset we call it the Gun. I agree we will run some “Shot” But Petrino runs a Pro offense. Not the Pistol.
That said: I believe the future of College football will be the pistol or spread. Too many HS QB’s are not learning to take a snap under center.
Certainly not, I think coach Petrino just has a hunger for football knowledge. He probably just wanted to pick coach K’s brain a little, and see what he could take from his system to improve on his own. We will use wrinkles of the “pistol” or “gun” again this year….Isn’t this where Mallet is in shotgun, and has a single running back to his side, with two tight ends?
Klenakis, like Malzan, wrote a book on this offence and the pistol formation is his method of improving a running game. BP will always run his offense but he is always looking at ways to improve it. He loves varying formations to give DCs more to worry about. His main intention is to be wide open early, use the passing game to open up a lead then pound it down their throut with the running game in the second half.
The pistol is when a RB lines up directly behind the QB. The QB is not undress Center but instead a few yards back.
In order to be successful in the Pistol you have to have a QB who can run the ball. A Pro style QB won’t work on an everyday basis.
LOL *under. Sorry, on the iPhone.
Thanks. I’m sure Petrino is trying to figure out how to throw the deep ball out of this formation

By MRPRFCT on Feb 5, 2010 @ 2:54pm
————————————
Correct ! The QB will line up 4 yards deep from center in the Pistol.
I like the “running back by committee” approach, and our stable of backs are set up for success this year.
I’d like one of the runningbacks to be “the man”. Maybe not the entire season, but each game have one RB be the main ballcarrier.
So the QB is 4 yards behind scrimmage, and the running back is directly behind him…a yard or two. Me likes. Seems dangerous.
If our run blocking is improved, we could very well have the best offense in the country!!
I think BP likes to add new things to his already huge offensive playbook.
The Pistol or “Shot” will be integrated more over the coming years I am sure, but everything will be done in a balance. That is just the way BP is, but you can see how getting more of this formation in now is going to be great for us the coming years.
QBs like Mitchell, Wilson, Allen, Frazier, and Walker all have the ability to thrive in this formation.
I just love having a team that looks like they have a plan on how to get a reciever open. Instead of waiting until 3rd and 8 and trying the same route down the sideline. You know….. kinda like Ole miss did this year. QB gets up looking out his earhole after every 3rd down pass attempt. Yep I like it ! WPS !
I can’t argue with Davis. I know he broke an ankle in high school, then broke it again when he enrolled at the U of A early. This plagued him early last year, but he seemed to bounce back nicely. Maybe he’s the man. He was running hard towards the end of the year, but it seems like Wingo, and Green got better as the season went along as well.
Thanks Blake.
After Mallett all of our present QBs and all the ones we are recruiting are very athletic and could operate out many formations. BP loves to use packages of players for special situations.
This is killing me. When is the first game? I don’t know if I can wait until September.
Does anyone have a good idea of next year’s schedule? We have the SEC West plus SC, like always. Then we have UGA and Vandy from the East rotation. The annual A&M slaughter. Who are our other non-conf games? Anybody have dates, especially for the Bama game?
Man, I sure hope we can schedule our bye week for the 2nd week of the season again. That was great! not.
Yea all the way to the Cotton Bowl. Let’s beat Nutt and Ole Miss before we say how bad they are shall we?
Tennessee Tech, Louisiana-Monroe, Texas A&M, UTEP are the non-conference games. We drop Florida.
They were nothing compared to what they expected to be. Do you think their QB looked better under Nutt ? No…he looked like C Dick used to look. Confused and frustrated. I am sorry Mr p. I will go back in my corner …Geez.
