This is a team that will be keenly focused on us and a fanbase that hates us with the passion of 1,000 suns. 

[Funk Doctor Spock 12105]

We're putting up 40 on these rednecks. I firmly believe this. People forget that that 2021 team was Sark's first year and we had no talent. We have 11 players from that team, and our defense is going to go ape shit on them. No mercy. A healthy Quinn will put up 300+ with 4-5 TD's. Bond and Golden will feast. Wingo will have a coming out party. We will break their will to live, and that's a good thing. They will want no part of Sark's teams going forward. They are in massive trouble. Ant Hill, Colin Simmons, Ethan Burke, Money Muhammed, Barron will absolutely make their lives miserable. Full stop.

Yeah, who the hell is that? One of their cheerleaders?

That stuff was a rubbing-your-face-in-it thing that was still going on in the 80s in the SWC, specifically SMU. 

The refs even flagged them for it for doing that on regular plays and then started penalizing SMU for it after scoring plays on the following kickoff (15 yards back).

Then SMU got the Death Penalty and I don't remember seeing it after that.

Have any of our coaches ever publicly stated they had a shitty week of practice?

In case you need some PTSD I present to you the GDGD Gulf Coast Offense

Yeah, seems like a throwaway line, like when RC said someone was a "good aggy".  Lulz.

We couldn't run the ball worth a shit all afternoon. Terrible game.

And both Simms and Applewhite sucked.

Not that I've seen in quite awhile. 

Saban was always good for an early week practice complaint once or twice a year to keep his guys working...

1999 was such a weird year. We played NCSU and at Rutgers in one-off non-conference games. NCSU beat us with THREE blocked punts for scores (safety and two TD). 

We ended the season with the bonfire game, NU's only win against us in the Big XII title game, and then that Cotton Bowl. The team had just quit it seemed.

I would probably switch Fine and Booty, but I'd need an opposite side camera angle to be sure. Whatever seems about right, though.

I think after the bonfire tragedy+the flu that ripped through the team they lost a step. And sometimes just a little bit of a distraction is all it takes.

No, it was FUPM's jackass decision to not have a special-teams coach that doomed games like that one.

Michigan Stadium isn't as loud as it could be with that many people but it was pretty loud for the first few drives. You know, until they realized they had no shot. After everything I'd heard about it I expected it to be much quieter.

I think stadium reputations like Michigan and Texas are overblown. Get a top 10 match-up in there and the stadiums are as loud as any.

The Michigan one is less about fanbase type and more stadium design - wide bowls don't trap sound like narrow, high-sided stadiums like Autzen.

Two things... we played Arkansas on 1/1/2000 and that season we blew OU out the reason we lost was Opie's knee got shredded and we didn't have a viable backup.

2003 DID get buttfucked by OU but the biggest reason we lost and was a harbinger of the day overall was giving up 3rd and 33.

I was at the 03 game.  I remember that one.  My mistake on the bowl game for 2000.  Either way, things are not quite as dire as everyone wants to believe.  These assholes have lit their fucking secondary on fire.

I think our bad reputation is very outdated. Back in the late 1980s-1998 we legit had a very bad crowd with the exception of a few big games, everybody brings up the 1990 Houston game for example.

Now I think we have a great home crowd, even when they are tossing 8 dollar water bottles on the field.

I'm pretty sure it would still be all of the above. That text is awesome.

No doubt....

Primary concerns for me are our inability to run the ball but that is almost instantaneously offset by the dumpster fire secondary they have.  It makes our dumpster fire secondary from last season look all conference.

2000 and 2003 were not shitty teams.

It wasn't the 2000 team it was the 1999 team that played them in a bowl game in 2000 and yes the '99 team WAS pretty shitty outside of a huge regular season upset against Nebraska.

We were fine in '03 (minus the 50 point loss to OU) - Arkansas was pretty good that year too.

They beat Bob Stoops though.

Are you talking about wine and cheese rep? I don't think it's overblown and you can definitely tell a difference in DKR now vs 5-10-15-20 years ago that it's consistently louder and better atmosphere overall.

[Fondren & Main 6678]

It helped DKR to have that track removed and the stadium moved inward on top of the field.  Also closing the north end helped tremendously too.

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2913]

Buncha pussies in here. Arkansas sucks ass.
 

We should win like 55-17 or some shit. Their defense is atrocious.

Not a popular opinion here, but Kyle Field is legitimately fucking wild and overwhelming in terms of sound. It won't make a shit in the end because we'll whip their gomer asses, but their combination of pumped in sound and actual real crowd noise is a lot to deal with

[Bevo&Pevo 5103]

Ya' need to read at least the first comment.  History will repeat itself, except for the falling behind by 14.

[TornACL 7690]

I watched the LSU Arkansas game last night. It was only 16-10 LSU later in the third quarter until Ark had a catastrophic turnover inside their own 5.

LSU seemed to run a somewhat similar pass offense to us. Lots of short quick passes. Ark had alternating soft coverage and terrible coverage. 

If Nussmeier didn't suck balls, that could have gotten away from the Hogs much earlier. Nuss had a couple of real WTF decisions on throws, which we know now is a prominent part of his repertoire. 

I originally had us winning 30-23. Upon further review I am comfortable bumping it up to 40-23.

[nbmishoid 948]

Key match  up is our defense against their o.   Let’s assume they bring their A game.  I think our D wins this, and the rest will be whatever winning offense Texas can muster, which looks to be quite a bit.

[SarksJuggs 1106]

Any tips for parking in Fayetteville? Last time I was there it was a cluster fuck.

Honestly, you just WANT it to be that way for sake of some lame ass nostalgia. Everyone your age sounds this way. 

What is my age?

I am saying how it is. I am not saying they'll beat us or even that they will necessarily give us a good game. I am saying their fans will be lathered up, that their hatred for us is not like Baylor or Tech's.

As said several times, this is a state "pride" thing for them. Texas is the haves. Arkansas is the have-nots.

At this point, I'd be willing to give Arkansas most of what Texas (the State, not the school) has

People need to stop acting like this team hasn’t played in high stakes games or tough environments.

Again, this is not what anyone is saying. This is not a high stakes game and it is not a big game environment. It is different.

This is nothing like playing Alabama or Georgia, which is why it is crucial that the players are tuned in and don't treat it like just another shitty opponent. They have beaten us more times than not since they left the SWC. There is a reason for that, and it isn't because they were good.

Don't make a shit. Lines move to keep the house afloat by trying to even out the bets, not to predict winners.

 

 

Yep. The house adjusts to the betting because the house never loses.

[BurntOrange&White 39816]

Get out to lead, shut their fucking inbred fans up, force them into obvious passing situations, win, ?????, profit

[Surly Bevo 24858]

All that hate gonna burn piggy up.

There is nothing more deflating than carrying a bunch of anger and emotion into a game and then quickly going down by 2 or 3 scores

Step on the gas from the jump

Last time I was there was 2004. We parked on the other side of the baseball field from the football stadium. Seems like it was an empty field. A decent walk to get to the stadium.

I am not ready to just accept this as fact in 2024 as long as 1/3 of the seats in the stadium are on Seat Geek for less than $70. At this rate the place wont even be full, so miss me with all that. 

"They're bred to hate us" from home apparently. The ticket market has absolutely cratered.
