Oh, THAT must be why after Alabama shut him down, Arkansas couldn't do poop on offense or stop much on defense. THAT must be why we beat yall by 28 points. Because of all of the weapons on both sides of the ball. There may be some talented guys on that team to you as a fan, but compared to the rest of the SEC? Please.
Unless you guys have a huge signing day planned, I really don't see much coming in as far as recruits. Arkansas has 12 commits right now. One of those is a 4* with a total of 3 offers. The rest are 2-3 star guys. There is a fine line between a team being bad and showing recruits they have a need and can turn it around and recruits thinking the staff can't get it turned around and going elsewhere. I'm not so sure where Arky lies in that.
I swear, some of you sound like some of our fans that were talking up some of the poopty talent we were bringing in during the Shula years. "Oh, a 3* with two offers? Best thing since sliced bread! Heisman candidate!"
Ricky, are you seriously going to judge Arkansas' team off one game in Tuscaloosa? Should I judge Bama's 2008 season off the woodshed beating they took in the Sugar Bowl to the phuking Utes?
We concede you shut down Mallett and our offense. Mallett and Petrino both said so after the game. Both said Mallett and the rest of the team arrived at Tuscaloosa not believing they could win the game and were blown out despite only being down 7 in the 3rd. Congrats to your team, seriously. But hanging every comment you make after week 5 on one game is asinine. Miami (FL) was blown out by VaTech, but they turn around and beat OU. BYU beat OU and then are blown out by FSU who is beat by USF and BC. You cannot judge a team this early in the season by one game.
And give me ONE link of ANYONE saying we have "weapons" on the D side of the ball as you state. I've said here we only have 2 players (Sheppard and W. Davis) who would be able to compete for the starting job on most SEC teams.
Is Julio Jones considered one of the best players on your team? He is if you read enough Bama boards. So let's look at his performance vs. some of Arkansas' WR's (3 ranked in SEC Top 10) since you claim everyone on our team sucks save Mallett....
* 5 star SO Joe Adams (decommitted from SoCal when Petrino was hired): 16 catches for 216 yards, 2 TD's
* 4 star SO Jarius Wright: 13 catches for 297 yards, 2 TD's
* 4 star SO Greg Childs: 16 catches for 260 yards, 4 TD's
* 5 star SO Julio Jones: 9 catches for 133 yards, 1 TD (50 yards and 1 TD came off trick play vs. #12 SEC secondary)
As you say, our D sucks donkey balls, North TX and FIU D's were jokes and VaTech's D played no better than Arkansas' donkey sucking balls D...therefore, Julio must be a poop player, right?
