re: Why is no one scared of Arkansas?

because bobby got beat up by a swim coach, we hired fat bert the drunk, and then hired chad the imposter and over the last few years, weve lost to north texas, toledo, san jose st, missouri, western kentucky, toledo, and of course the rest of the SEC without any kind of fight. We have been a national joke, an SEC whipping boy that was scared to play Arkansas State or UCA. winning 3 SEC games in year 1 under pittman was a super bowl type season.

People look at Arkansas as though CHadwick was still the coach, and rightfully so. We havent proved anything ....yet

Everybody in the west should be concerned about everybody else in the west. It's a brutal division every year, but this year has the potential to be even moreso.

Alabama is obviously the best, but they better buckle their chin straps tight. The consensus bottom 2 teams in the west are MSU and Auburn, and either one of them could easily win 9 games.

Bama - Loaded

Arkansas - 9 wins last year, brings back a ton of talent and experience.

A&M - Stockpiled top 5 to 10 talent for multiple years. Can they finally put it all together?

LSU - loaded with talent, a new coach. An unknown, but undoubtedly talented.

Ole Miss - Very good last year, Lane Kiffin is a really good coach, addressed key needs via the portal.

MSU - 7-5 last year, honestly a couple of fluke plays from 9-3. Bring back tons of experience, including having a 3rd year starter. Mike Leach historically wins 9+ games in seasons with a 3rd year starting QB.

Auburn - Still talented. Started strong last year, faded during some troubles under a new coaching staff. Really anyone's guess this year, but still a very talented roster.

So - there's really no reason to be "scared" of anyone outside of Alabama. But there are at least 5 teams who are good enough to finish 2nd in the West. I don't think Bama escapes this division unscathed, as good as they are. But, conversely, I don't think you'll see a lot of gaudy records come out of the West. It's gonna be a rough year.

Oh, THEY ARE scared.

Thanks finch dumb alter

I’m always scared of those piggies.
They can beat any team, any week.
*shudder*

I am scared of Arkansas. After the motorcycle crash all those years ago Hogs have been underwhelming. BB did field some physical teams but they couldn’t ever close it out. They are finally on the right track.

Because they barely beat my depleted Nittany Lions in the Bowl game on January 1st.

They had a month to prepare and should have won that game by 40.

Pittman vs. Franklin isn't a fair fight...hell, your mom against Franklin isn't a fair fight...but we locked him up for 10 more years guaranteed...
