Arkansas Razorbacks

Longhorns Record as a Regular Season #1

Here’s a piece of trivia that will only be good to use until Saturday (I think). The first game Texas lined up as the #1 team in the nation during the regular season  and the last regular season game that the Horns entered as the top team in the nation have both ended in a […]

Texas/Arkansas Football Post-Mortem

DKR Varmint Eradication Program
Mack Brown has a gift for attracting celebrity. This weekend was no different. Steve Zissou graced our sideline. I dig Bill Murray and I am a big fan of his work. Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Rushmore, Lost in Translation. I even liked The Razor’s Edge. Speaking of razors, […]

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - Arkansas

Saturday, September 27, 2008 - Texas 52, Arkansas 10 
 
Our football team is getting better by leaps and bounds, and the first play from scrimmage yesterday exemplified one major reason why.  On that play, Arkansas attempted a little reverse, and Brian Orakpo, rather than following the initial fake and running himself out of the play as defensive […]

Today’s Recommended Viewing

Some great freakin’ football on tap for today…
11:00 a.m.

Pitt at Syracuse - Start your day by catching the matchup between two of the very worst coaches in Division I - or whatever it’s called now - today.  Dave Wannstedt vs. Greg Robinson is a battle between two excellent defensive coordinators who are classic examples of […]

Gameday reading for Arkansas

We have had some great information this week and two weeks ago when we were first slated to roast the pigs, so here is a recap for you.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - Rice

[I apologize for all the spacing issues in this post.  This software just baffles the hell out of me.] 
I’ve been betting on college football games off and on for about 30 years or so.  Never put too much money on the line - it’s just something I’ve done for fun, and to increase the interest level […]

Hawg, Interrupted

Our next football will be played against Chase Clement rather than Inclement.
The game has been officially shitcanned until September 27th.

Pig fans were ready

Reading the Hog blogs

So I tried to find what the Arkansas fans were thinking about this week’s game against Texas, but there appears to be a dearth of Arkansas football blogs on the various internets.
No mention of the Texas game yet at Razorback Expats or The Razor Bloggers Network.
The Hawg Blawg says ‘Welcome To Texas Week!,’ but then […]

Horns, Hogs, and Nixon Coming

My father-in-law, Gary, is a true orange-blooded Texas Longhorn. He is the only child of two graduates of the University of Texas. He graduated from the pharmacy school the year of our last national championship (pre-Vince), married a Longhorn, and raised two daughters – both Texas graduates and both Texas Angels while […]

The Texas-Arkansas Rivalry: One-Sided and Out of Date

Rivalry
ri·val·ry
Pronunciation: r-vl-r
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -ries
1 : a competitive or antagonistic state or condition

Some things are better left unsaid

Texas and Arkansas don’t like each other.
When Arkansas played two Midwest Regional games at Austin in 1995, they received something significantly less than a warm reception. Texas fans basically booed anything Arkansas related during the tournament, and Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles afterwards said, “I hope we never play in Austin again if they […]

Mack Brown’s Whiff All-Stars

The loss of Russell Shepard got me a-wonderin’ about how good a team full of guys that rejected us (or vice versa) would be. So, I’ve done my best to make a list. Just imagine how good the team of OU or A&M misses would be. Epic.

Arkansas Just Remembered It Left It’s Iron On

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.

When you lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas

Thankfully for Arkansas Razorback fans, they are used to fleas.
I did some Googling this morning to piece together quite a 5-year timeline for the offensive guru and nomad known as Bobby Petrino.
Dec 23, 2002: Petrino is announced as HC at Louisville; reportedly signed a 7-year deal worth about $500K per year

“This is a […]

Will Muschamp is the next guy to thumb his nose at Pig Sooie

According to certain reports out of Northwest Arkansas, Will Muchamp is the next coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Take these reports with a grain of salt since Arkansas has swung and missed publicly by trying to retain Houston Nutt, and then offering and being snubbed by Butch Davis, Tommy Tubberville, Tommy Bowden, and Jim […]

There was a bidding war for Tommy Bowden?

Wow. The next thing you are going to tell me is that people actually want to see the Spice Girls get back together. Oh, wait.
Reports indicated that Tommy Bowden was set to take over the Arkansas Razorback job late last night for over $2.5 million per year. That will probably end up […]

College Football Bets Week 11

It was another stellar week last week going 5-1 to make for a tidy overall record of 33-22-3. Again, we hit our two unit play to go 7-4 which pushes our high water mark to plus 11.5 units for the year. We’ll try to keep it going this week. On to the […]

You must be 42 inches tall to ride the Coaching Carousel — that means you, HenryJames

As the college season makes the turn for the home stretch, it is clearly time to start talking about who gets whacked — particularly given this weekend’s Battle of the Buyouts in Lincoln. This year’s coaching carousel seems destined to be as bloody as the last 6 episodes of the Sopranos.

Yeah, I’ll fucking […]

College Bets Week 7

Had to change the title yet again as my local won’t take my action after last week’s domination. 4-1-1 in posted plays, with the only blemish being the Texas/OU loss which was a reverse psychology ploy to try to get the boys fired up. Unfortunately, Jamal Charles thought I was serious and did […]
