I was at the Rutgers/Navy game last night and it was really very exciting. We now have six guys on our roster who have rushed for over 100 yards in a game. As a long term fan, I'm not at all used to this. It now looks possible to have a 500 season. I'd even happily ship off a case to the evil haiku pretender. If I only knew that betting against us would bring success...

How’s that go again?

Bama only led for about 10 minutes of the game and were outplayed the rest of it. Sorry. :)

My bad. Bama led for more than 10 minutes, not much longer than the Hogs did. They never had the lead until sometime early in the 3rd quarter.

Bama led the game up until the end. Arkansas scored first but bama led after that. Arkansas did not catch up until the end of the 4th quater.

Bama didn't have the lead at all until the 3rd quarter. Arkansas led 7-0,10-7 , then Bama tied it up 10-10 at the half. Then, of course, Arkansas led 34-31. :)

me too (on TV) and jgiels is right. two good teams. both had plenty of chances, both made plenty of mistakes, but of course the good guys won in the end.....


I LOVE FOOTBALL!


oh yea, just saw the rankings, we moved up to #8! and we're off next saturday.

Arkansas did not tie the game until the final few minutes. Yes it was tied at the half too but we kicked butt after the half. I just knew up until the last few minutes of the game that we had won with ease. Too bad we didn't play the entire game like we did in the 3rd quarter. It didn't help us having a hurt quarterback either, a shoulder injury is not a good injury for a QB. What we need is a punter! I have never in my life seen a team punt the ball so bad!
Miss Opie

Bama tied it up right before the half with a field goal. Arkansas had the lead until that point. Bama never led in the first half. This is really a silly argument. :)
jgeils

texas did the same thing against us, bad punting that is....

if our 1st string kicker had made one of those first 2 fieldgoals, we would have had the lead at the end....

also, we had a bonehead penaty at the end of the 1st half that gave bama a free field goal, which made it a tie at the end of regulation.

arkansas outgained bama 509 yds to 368. cedric cobbs had 195 yds and stays at the top of the SEC with 5.4 yds/carry.....we outrushed bama 302 to 151. arkansas ran 92 plays, bama had 64.

the thing that kept bama in the game was 3 big plays, and arkansas getting stupid penalties.

on the bright side, we got a new field goal kicker...heh heh...

miss opie, my condolences on the bama season being over......2-3 ain't good....

hey we had stupid penalities too.. celebration, unsportsmanlike conduct... blah those suck! they rushed those officials out quick after the game!! Oh and my favorite part about the entire game was Arkansas's transfer truck... on the side it read 3 time SEC Western Champs!! haha.. and these two guys (arkansas) were pointing at it after the game saying ha.. look at us.. 3 time western champs! At least they have something to be proud of!

Miss Opie, I don't blame you for being down after the game. I hope Bama has a good remainder of the year. They can beat all the other SEC West teams. I hope they beat Tennessee also.

UT obvioulsly likes living on the edge.

What a game. I was impressed by the way our defensive line and our offensive line "got it the game" in the later going.

However, when the dust settles, an inch is as good as a mile in the race for first.

Hey, Chili. Did you remember to "wave the wheat" when you wrote the Rock Chalk chant? You are right about the close ones. Heck, look at the national champions of last year. If you think of it like that, the Vols are right on track. It's shaping up like another great season.

I forgot to wave the wheat.

I did tip the barley though. Does that count?

Virginia Tech 5-0, #4 in the nation. Get on the bandwagon now.
JO

Virginia Tech??? Don't make me laugh. The best bandwagon bet is on the Kansas Jayhawks. Remember, they can't lose next weekend with a bye.

Speaking of bye, has Dayhiker gone bye-bye? I want him to show his Crimson face on this board and take it like a fan. I have a lot of ammo to make fun of him with, but it's going to waste if he continues to hide. Sheesh, if I let a little thing like losing all the time keep me from posting, well, you know what I mean.
Dunadan

Are you a Va Tech fan JO?

I have tickets to that game next weekend at Rutgers Stadium but I'm not real sure I want to go. I know we have a major upset coming, but I don't think this one is it.

Army lost to SFU, 28-0. (Tomato U didn't do anywhere near that good!)

Next benefactor is TCU. It's better than a bye week.

Violin doesn't want to go to the game because he is so cheap with the beer. You just have to root for a winner don't you Fiddle? You couldn't stay true to a team like the Jayhawks.

This is one of those times I am glad I drove right by Auburn and Tuscaloosa on my way up from Lower Alabama on my way to Knoxville to go to school.

Violin is a Tomato U fan. He roots for the Scarlet Tomatoes, but he's a realist. They're just so happy they play Army.

By the way, how many Rutgers fans does it take to change a tire? One. But if it's a blowout, (Navy), they all show up. What a winner.

I'm back from my trip and haven't had a chance to watch the game yet. Bama really has some chemistry issues. I wonder if that has anything to do with only having our coach for 2 months of practice? It doesn't get any easier with Georgia next weekend. I'm proud of the way these guys are playing under the circumstances. I feel that they will pull together and that Shula is the right guy for the job. Congrats to the Hogs.

ROLL TIDE!!!

yeesh. ND's offensive line perhaps played the worst game I have ever seen, especially our right tackle, Stevenson, I think. He made #15 from Purdue look like an All-American.

Not much good can be seen for the Irish, other than the Defense played ok...Purdue's scores were mostly on turnovers.

Quinn is going to be a fantastic QB over the next couple of years, as long as he is not killed by the pathetic blocking of his line this year. I really liked the fact that he stood in there and kept throwing the football even though he was getting hit every single play. Tough and gritty and from Columbus too...

FWIW, I am very impressed with Shula. He will have the Tide back. Arkansas has a very, very ,very good offensive line. They may not win them all but they will pound a lot of people this year. I know one thing though, I'll be glad when that damn Shaud Williams graduates.

You're right about Shula having a tough job. Not much time to work or get his own coaches. I wish you guys luck the rest of the year.

Dayhiker. Good to hear from you. Are you thinking about jumping on the Jayhawk bandwagon? It's all the rage at the TT football thread. Mangino fever, catch it!

"Wanna make some money on those tickets, Nigal?"

I'd sooner sell my firstborn. My wife's cousin got four tickets for his buddy and he turned around and sold two for $1,100. I'd rather go.
Nigal

I'd take the $1100.

Well, if it is an STD, then Missouri should have a big dose of it right now. Just like Northern Ill did to its last two opponents, KU bent them over and had their way with the Paper Tigers.

"What time do I pick you up?"

Actually I got on the 7-10 year waiting list for season tickets and told my wife, "If we did get season tickets I'd love to stay home just one year so Jay could go to the big game in the Big House at least once.". Her reply? "I don't know who the hell this guy is. You phuckin' stay home!". Ya need to come to the camp out next month so you can meet her and start buttering her up.

"Can they both lose?"

No. This has only happened once in the history of NCAA football. It was the Army/Navy game. They both sucked so bad that the NCAA declaired them BOTH losers.

And a good day to you...
