Arkansas Just Remembered It Left It’s Iron On

Posted by ChrisApplewhite on February 25th, 2008 under Uncategorized

They’ve backed out of our 2009 return trip to Fayettville, because they don’t want to play both Texas and Texas A&M in the same season. I guess UA’s athletic department doesn’t watch much Aggie football.

It’s fine with me. ‘08 Arkansas shouldn’t be very good, losing 70% of their offense to the NFL. And maybe by 2014 Greg Davis will have found a new job.

I hope Sam Houston St. has an open date that weekend.

  1. My guess is that this move is based on a decision by Arkansas and TAMU to emphasize their new series, and to promote it as bigger than Arkansas/Texas. I think they really intend to make recruiting inroads on Texas and OU. If they are unsuccessful, I imagine the series won’t last long.

  2. “And maybe by 2014 Greg Davis will have found a new job.”

    From your lips to God’s ears…

  3. I’m violently against scheduling Arkansas. But if you’ve scheduled them and you’re pretty damn certain you’ve got the better team, play them. Don’t reshedule it 5 years down the road when you have no idea what each team will look like.

  4. “And maybe by 2014 Greg Davis will have found a new job.”

    This needs to be sooner. I don’t think I can take another 6 losses to OU.

  5. People who are “violently against scheduling Arkansas” are pussies.

    There I said it.

  6. Playing Arkansas gets you nothing:

    If you win, everyone goes: “Well I should certainly hope so”

    If you lose, everyone goes: “Douchebag”

    Plus the hicks usually take a couple of good recruits home with them.

    There I said it.

  7. why should we lose to Arkansas?

    Why shouldn’t we be called douchebags for losing to any lesser program?

    It is just amazing to me that most posters think that Jordan has improved so much in the last half of the season.
    The one thing I will say is that Jordan has just started to show his ability with a basketball. The reason that he did not show his talents is up to all the

    Both teams are unselfish and preach sharing the ball. A&M is a balanced scoring team. Sloan showed in the first round against Utah State, for example, that he can defer when his teammates have things going. Purdue once again will have to rely on JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore to produce, and hope

    And yes, it appears JoPo wrote pretty much the same thing. It’s hard to believe with all the national talking heads, fans, and everyone in between saying otherwise, but I think it’s the only conclusion to draw for anyone that really watched this team.

    Normally, after a big win or a crushing defeat, I don’t know what to think, say, or feel, because I can’t. And that what makes this one different; it’s just as painful, but I saw it coming. Instead of getting blindsided by the oncoming traffic, I was able to brace myself for the

    I’m with you the off season is already old. I’m ready for the season to start. NDS I am completely fascinated by the Tech vs. Lech business. I can’t believe they ran off the guy that put them on the map and subsequently ended up with an arguable upgrade in Tubs.

    Ded 9-12 wins is pretty optomistic. I like it. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Tubs can do with them this year especially on D. I’m surprised you think the QB battle between Sticks and Nick will be close. Interesting, I figured Sticks was a runaway. I hope Corndog

    QB  Sr. Taylor Potts/Sr. Steven Sheffield – We’ve all annointed Sheffield as the starter, and I think that’s the case if we continue to run 99% of our snaps

    lawdog – on the topic of regression, this crew can’t compare with the senior seasons Thomas and Atchley put up. Something ain’t right in this scenario. Mason topped out his sophomore year and Pittman last year.

    Wangmene is ‘Manos de Piedra’ redux, so that was really never going to work out.

    Unless you’re completely retarded, you know precisely what I meant. The closest any Big 12 team has gotten to winning the infamous Fuller Cup is the 2007 Texas squad. I can’t remember a team being that horribly undisciplined as a whole aside from the insane OU teams of the 80’s. That’s not

    I suppose anyone could be your “favorite Longhorn basketball player” but Ford did more than just about anyone…although Durant is clearly better. Ford’s supporting cast was better than Durant’s in his sophomore year. Durant’s had more talent (Augustin, James, Abrams) but Ford’s was more developed (Boddicker, Ivey, Mouton, Thomas) and had worked with him for

    This notion of Hamilton as being a disaster area on defense is all a bit much. He rebounds extremely well which, if it wasn’t obvious, is extremely important in this game since it secures possession of the basketball. Winning in basketball is achieved through the scoring of baskets and it’s necessary to possess the basketball
