  1. Just out of curiosity, were any of you there yesterday? Is Surly right? Cause I know that’s the popular version of what went on there. A lot of people like to believe that. I wish I could. But I was there. I wasn’t here on Surly hoping I was right, thinking about it. I was up to my knees in Bermuda grass, with bullhorns that didn’t work, going in there, looking for Elon, slugging it out with him, while pussies like you were back here partying, putting on headbands, doing drugs, and listening to the goddam 4th and 5 albums. Oh! Oh! Oh!
  2. Make Em Eat Taco Bell has achieved the rare feat of acting like a complete condescending prick while at the same time being completely wrong and tripling down on his ignorance. Fascinating.
  3. Can you post 13-304? In the news the University said it rejected the protest request because it violated the rules, I assume as per described in this subsection.
  4. Eff Reggie Bush. There are no consequences in this world anymore.
  5. I hope Sark’s sit downs with players aren’t too specific and definitive. Shit happens all the time and telling a third string or second string guy he’s going be that isn’t an ideal approach. I assume most of these portal guys just see the writing on the wall and aren’t being over influenced by bad news in a sit down. There’s honesty and integrity, but then there’s also too much information. I hope it’s not the latter.
  6. Who delivers to and from the P.O. Box? Santa Claus?
  7. In the early days of NIL discussions, Arkansas was tagged as a school that could conceivably graduate from the outhouse to the penthouse, due to the number of big dollar folks in that area: the Walton family tentacles, the Tyson chicken tentacles, the logistics company guy, Jerry Jones, etc. And because they are all a bunch of hillbillies, splashing around cash in college football for bragging rights fits the narrative.
  8. To be fair to Sark, are coaches all such lug heads that they can’t even learn to coach a second position near to the one they have experience coaching? It ain’t rocket surgery.
  9. Can’t Gillbeau play corner? He’s been thru a lot, almost portaling, injuries, etc. but when healthy he flashed at times.
  10. While I just torched Joseph in a post just above, I forgot to add that Brooks was not good either. I already expected him to lose his starting role. I’m not worried about this loss other than for depth. But since he’s unhappy that would be bad depth.
  11. In my opinion the defensive backfield has underperformed for years now. Years ago you could argue it was due in part to weak DL’s and LB’s but not lately. There has been more than enough good talent to come thru the door to see better play and development than we’ve seen. Joseph has been good enough to be able to get Muhammad and Black in the door, but he’s not showing he’s good enough to coach good players to success. You can see it with poor technique over and over. When the portal closes it would be the perfect time to bring in Joseph’s replacement.
  12. I'm trying to understand Elk's strategy. He seems to be trying to change the culture of the program by either pushing out certain players or having them decide on their own they don't want to be there. But the guys they are replacing them with are very pedestrian. I think that strategy might backfire. Normally, a coach either: a) brings in quality talent right away that he can get from the portal, or b) does the best they can to recruit quality high school talent and bleed out the bad talent over a one to two year period. Either of these types of approaches ensure the coach can still win 6-9 games in the first year. With the current Elk approach, it could mean 6 or less wins, AND also the need to upgrade the roster over 1-2 years. But the problem with that is once you've only won <6 games, things can spiral quickly. No top talent is going to join a <6 win team. MAybe he thinks we can win with just pedestrian talent. He did it at Duke, but that was in a very different league.
  13. Man 10-3 is terrible. They have to change it asap or it’s going to bleed into losses during prime radio hours. I listened to 1-3 a lot to try and see if I could learn to like it but they are terrible. I and a drinking buddy could produce better radio than those guys.
  14. Hahahahahahajahah. Everyone gets it https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLaHgYVy/
  15. I’m not sure Mukuba played, and I didn’t watch him at Clemson, but I did see a smallish #13 whiff on an easy tackle.
