ESPN. 11am CST. Just announced.

BLEEEEHHHHHHH.
Well, in 2003 it was a morning game and we went into Fayetteville and upset the #9 Razorbacks 10 to 6.
In 2006 it was a morning game, and Arkansas went into Auburn and upset the #2 Tigers 987 to -14.
Let's hope we can duplicate 2003's success.

Highlights of last night's game.
SEC digital evidently does not have OOC games saved. There was a nip slip shown after the aggies first TD.
Somebody will get it out surely.

Game is up now, if yall want to study your next opponent.
-
Hell, let's get it started here. :poke: :)
Texas A&M was leading the nation in offense and was undefeated until last night. They run the HUNH, so we got a little bit of experience playing against it right before we play yall.
I think the game may come down to who has the ball last. Two potent offenses and two so-so defenses.

Birmingham's take on the AU vs Ark game: (yes I realize nobody gives a skanks twat what I think of the game)
* Auburn is much better than they were last year. +1 Auburn
* Auburn's passing game should have some match ups in their favor. +1 Auburn
* Tennessee's Defense probably isn't as good as they were hyped. -1 Auburn
* Arkansas's Defense isn't as bad as they showed against Georgia. +1 Arkansas
* Game is at Arkansas. +1 Arkansas
* Mallett is probably the best QB Auburn will face all year (not counting post season). +2 Arkansas
* Arkansas's receivers aren't the best Auburn will face all year. -1 Arkansas
* Mario Fannin. +2 Auburn
* Ben Tate. +2 Auburn
* Auburn is the best offense Arkansas will face the rest of the season. (not counting post season) +1 Auburn

LMFAO........This is the bammer company line to start the week off. Damn, I figured that y'all would atleast allow us one full day to be happy with the win. Oh well, UT's Defense is horrible, guess that means Auburn might only win one more game the rest of the year and it'll be a close one against Furman. :taunt:
-
Yeah.....in the first quarter.
It could happen. Just got back in from the brink of sister sex known as Knoxville. They kept giving us opportunities to step on their neck and we just could not put them down for the count.
That being said it was still reassuring watching half the sister fuckers leaving the stadium at the beginning of the 4th quarter.

You are going to hell for failure to properly worship Touchdown Jesus. Auburn's offense is good, but you are guilty of raising a false idol if you think it is better than th offense led by the Pure One.

I am going to miss my trip to the hill for the first time in a very long time. We had a big to do with long term family friends that required me to take take some time off from work to accommodate. Due to this I will have to have my nose to the grindstone this entire week and cannot make the early kickoff in Fayetteville.

Pay attention to the phrase "as good as they were hyped" shitnut. They're good, but they weren't hyped to be good. They were hyped to be competitive with the New England Patriots. They were to be a turnover machine pulling 3-4 turnovers each game. As it is they missed tackles (partly because Auburn ball carriers made them miss) but they certainly couldn't have taken on the Patriots yesterday.
I thought I gave a pretty damn unbiased prediction for the game. I had Auburn winning by 18 and you still were unable to stop from uncovering your bleeding vagina.

Birmingham's take on the AU vs Ark game: (yes I realize nobody gives a skanks twat what I think of the game)
* Auburn is much better than they were last year. +1 Auburn We are, too
* Auburn's passing game should have some match ups in their favor. +1 Auburn Us, too
* Tennessee's Defense probably isn't as good as they were hyped. -1 Auburn Probably true
* Arkansas's Defense isn't as bad as they showed against Georgia. +1 Arkansas I think we are improving on defense. We really have a pretty good run D. Secondary is our weak point. I'm sure Gus will attack that.
* Game is at Arkansas. +1 Arkansas Don't mean much
* Mallett is probably the best QB Auburn will face all year (not counting post season). +2 Arkansas He is a good one for his experience
* Arkansas's receivers aren't the best Auburn will face all year. -1 Arkansas If not, we have to be #2
* Mario Fannin. +2 Auburn
* Ben Tate. +2 Auburn We have some good backs, too. There may be a freshman ready to have a Talley like day soon. Probably not this game, but it's coming
* Auburn is the best offense Arkansas will face the rest of the season. (not counting post season) +1 Auburn Totally agree. I'm more concerned with Auburn's offense than I am Flordia's.

Auburn will be the third ranked team we have faced in our first 5 games.

From woopig. Not verified by me.
after last nights abuse of aTm's o-line, we are tied for 11th place nationally in tackles for losses, averaging 7.75 per game.

Arkansas opens at -1

We are arguably(sp) the best 2-2 team in the country.

OK, I'll pick'em. Ar 40+, Auburn 30 +.
I'll do us +10 on the Crown this week.

Are you as serious about this as you were about Arkansas beating Alabama? Albeit a close win, AU just won against what was the #8 defense in the nation. Granted, UT's offense (or lack thereof) kept the UT defense on the field most of the night, AU still beat them. You think Arkansas' defense is going to stop AU??

Did I say this?
I say that we were thrown in the fire right off the bat, playing GA and Bama in our second and third games. We got beat, sure, but we learned what our weak points were against some damn good teams.
If we would have played the same teams as Bama or Auburn to open our season, I feel like our record would reflect that. We played two of our toughest games right off the bat with a young team. We took our lumps , but I think we'll be better for it in the long run.
Before the game, yeah, I thought we would beat Bama. Before any game, I think we win. It doesn't matter what I think. That's why we play the games. Arkansas is good enough to beat any team on a given day. We are not consistent enough to do it every day right now.
Us and Auburn are on the way up. Bama and LSU are gonna have to scoot on back the next few years.

Wow.....and you fuckers call us delusional.
Don't bitch to an Alabama or Auburn fan about a young team. On the UA OL you have one sophomore and one redshirt freshman, three sophomore WR, a sophomore and true freshman taking most snaps at RB. On defense we have alot of JR and SR with what was a starting sophomore LB before injury, and another sophomore takes his place. Most of the second team on the defense is comprised of sophomore or true freshmen. And the scary thing? There isn't that huge of a dropoff between first and second team.
AU is playing more upperclassmen than AU, but you have guys like Onterrio McCaleb and Daren Bates who are making names for themselves as true freshmen, and then AU is very thin depth-wise. And they are putting up huge numbers on offense with Chris freaking Todd, AND winning games. I have no issues with what you said other than Arkansas can beat any team on any given day, and that they are in the same boat as Auburn. Arkansas is sitting right where they were sitting after week 5 last year......at 2-2. I can give you credit for losing to Alabama, but UGA? Really?
Arkansas is a few years out from anything. IF you guys are able to recruit some studs. I just really think Petrino is going to be the next Spurrier.
-
This game has scared teh hell out of me since August. Watching the defense make Crompton look like Peyton Manning in the second half hasn't changed my mind a bit. I just hope that Auburn can score enough to keep up with the hogs.
Note to Ted Roof: Playing a soft zone won't work this weekend.

You forgot to mention AJ Green is a far better WR than Julio Jones. Jones had only 2 catches against us, the worst secondary in the SEC (113th nationally), and one of those two catches had to come on a trick gimmick play. AJ Green was FAR harder to defend and is head and shoulders above Julio in talent.

Well yeah but Julio is a better fisherman.

Green probably is the better out of the two, but he is also used much differently than Julio is used in our offense this season compared to last season. JPW's problem was he wouldn't check down and would just dump it in the general area of Julio. Our other receivers couldn't really make themselves a threat last season, for whatever reason. Even then our coaches said we have to make teams pay for that. Also, I think there is some injury stuff going on with Julio right now as well. I think his ankle or knee is still nagging a little, but I have no real proof of that.
Now, this season, we have a QB that is able to make teams pay for cutting off Julio. I'm not trying to say that we are intentionally taking Julio out of the game plan, but then again, we haven't really seen the ball thrown his way much. Maybe he is losing some of his shine, or teams are covering him better. I do know that obviously our other receivers are able to make plays and get open, which is something we struggled with last year. We have more weapons this season. As for UGA? Green is all they got. They absolutely HAVE to throw the ball his way. If he doesn't touch the ball 7-9 times a game, they will probably lose. No running game. No QB. No receivers. Nothing. Only AJ Green.

They use him to catch the ball and score TDs? That is a different approach. :blink:
I think the key to this game is our defensive line. If the line doesn't get pressure and cause some havoc in the backfield, we're in trouble. Any secondary in in trouble if a good QB has time to look around the field. At the same time, even good QBs struggle if they don't have time. We HAVE to get pressure, or it will just be a battle of who has the ball last to score the 19th TD of the game.
If we get pressure, we win.
-

Totals usually don't come out until Thursday. Auburn is now a 2 1/2 point favorite.

I agree with a lot of this. Everyone is talking about both team's offense, but this is the SEC and defense wins.
Both teams have so-so defenses, but they are both improving game by game.
We have to slow down yall's run game and make Todd beat us. Our defense has played pretty good against the run, but we usually let 2-4 big plays happen. Our weakness is our secondary.
Yall are gonna have to get pressure on Mallett. Our pass game has been our strength so far this season. Yall's secondary is suspect, too.
I think it will be an exciting game. A big play could happen at any time from either team.

Auburn has a so-so defense. Arkansas has no defense. Your defense is ranked last in the SEC. How is that "improving game by game"? You are correct that Arky's run defense is so-so, and that the secondary is the worst in the SEC, but the defense as a whole is not improving each game.

No, that wasn't speaking out of my ass. Arkansas really does have the worst defense in the SEC. They really aren't getting better every game. Research that aaaaaall you want. Take as long as you want. There is no rebuttal to that. It is a fact. Maybe you should stop saying stupid shit, and you wouldn't have to worry about somebody shooting you down.

I've said it numerous times in various threads. You keep trying to come up with reasons why Arkansas doesn't suck. Its expected, I don't expect you to talk about how much you hate your own team, blah blah blah. But you don't have much ammunition to use in your bid to deny said suckage. And you're wrong, I was on AUN taking my lumps when we sucked ass years ago. I've taken plenty of shit from AU fans over the years, and had nothing to fight back with. What was I going to say? "Oh yeah? Well, we won five games this season!" Don't talk about something you know nothing of.

In the last three weeks, we gave up 52 points to Georgia, 35 to 'bama, and 19 to Texas A&M. I would call that improvement.

We do suck. We're coming out of it. Let Nutt coach your team for 10 years and see if you don't suck.
Yall are lucky that yall get us early lately. What's the record since we've been in the SEC? Most of that has been against Nutt teams. Yall are dominators.
-
We're coming into this game as hard as we can. Bet on it. Don't know what that means as far as results, but bet your ass, yall will get our A game. Whatever that means. 0-3 is a kiss of death in the SEC. We have more to lose than yall do.
I can't wait. I think this is gonna be a helluva game. maybe even an OT game.
Then again, either team could blow the other one out. So many possibilities.

From the former Hermitage, AR Hermit coach.

Where do yall think Tommy will wind up next? He's wealthy and all that, but I think he'll coach again somewhere.
He could alway go back to Hermitage. Right down the road from Jerry Jones' BIL's place and shoot some ducks.
Louisville or Texas A&M? That's my top 2 guesses.

Reckon? Really?
Haven't thought about that one. May be a good fit. Pretty good paycheck for a few years and no real expectations. He'll improve them, no doubt.
Tommy could move back home and live like a millionaire without worrying about football.
-
Please tell me what coach we have had since Stallings, and before Saban, that gave us some sort of advantage in the SEC. You're preaching to the choir.
Not a coach, but Logan Young tried his damnest to give bammer an advantage. Too bad his "eatin' a salad while climbing steps" skills fell incredibly short of his check writing skills.

Auburn has a so-so defense. Arkansas has no defense. Your defense is ranked last in the SEC. How is that "improving game by game"? You are correct that Arky's run defense is so-so, and that the secondary is the worst in the SEC, but the defense as a whole is not improving each game.
If you go back and look at the 2005, 2006 and 2007 recruiting classes by Houston Dale Nutt and compare those players to ones on our roster, it quickly becomes PAINFULLY obvious why our defense sucks. We simply do not have near enough Jimmys and Joes to fill up a 22-28 man 2 deep on the the defensive side of the ball to put forth a stout SEC quality defense. Petrino's had one full year of recruiting and there is absolutely NO WAY to quickly build from a base of TWO good defenders (W. Davis and M. Sheppard) who would challenge for time on another SEC defense. We need at least one more solid class of defensive players and maybe two since we need DL, LB and DB's based on the incompetence of the previous staff.
We had to play 16 true freshman and 10 redshirt freshman last year. Our guys were indoctrinated to CFB via "baptism by fire" last year which is why we nearly lost our two opening cupcakes. We then played Bama, Texas and Florida back-to-back-to-back and had our asses handed to us. We ended up losing 3 SEC games by 6 points. If those 1, 2 and 3 point victories go our way, we are 8-4 and 5-3 in SEC play (i.e. a HUGE difference). The reason we had a chance to win 8 games is due to obvious improvement in our defense as the season progressed, but our season stats still looked horrid. We are playing a bunch of freshman again this year (11 guys from our 2009 class are getting significant playing time at this point, including some spot starts). There has been some improvement on defense from UGA to Bama to aTm, but there is still a LONG way to go before we are respected using the SEC standard.
For grins...
Our defense looked HORRID on the Trent Richardson 52 yard TD run putting Bama up 7-0. We had him in the backfield and proceeded to miss 4 wrap up tackles allowing him to scoot down the sideline. Pathetic if you ask me. However, if you take away that 52 yard run, Alabama only gained 98 yards on their 40 other rushing attempts (i.e 2.45 ypc). You say Arkansas run defense is so-so, but surely even you will admit the defense against 40 of the 41 rushing attempts was pretty good given the quality of Bama's running game.
The secondary? We had the #1 secondary recruiting class in 2009 per Rivals, but we are not seeing it on the field. One of the $64,000 questions is whether or not DC/secondary coach Willy Robinson can get the job done. The secondary keeps me on the edge of my seat holding my breath during the game.

Even so, we still beat Arky by 28. I don't care if a defense can hold us to 0 yards on the ground. If we can win by 28 in that game, then I'll take it. Why take away the 52 yard run? It goes to show the tendancy of the defense. Its like saying if you just take away Chizik's 19 losses at ISU, then he was actually 24-0. The fact that a true freshman running back was able to make half of your defense miss him when they had him nailed down for a 3 yard loss shouldn't be thrown out just because it helps your argument. It happened. It counts. Hell, if you don't count our busted coverage, and you don't count a couple of our drops, we actually beat Arkansas 52-0.
Arky's run defense is ranked 7th in the SEC. I'm sorry, but thats so-so.

Nutt is crazy (in a literal sense) and very very unpredictable. I think he won some games on that alone. I think he has the team play on emotion and doesn't prepare them very well X and O's wise. His last five years he pretty much beat the teams he was supposed to beat, and lost to the teams he was supposed to lose to. Every few years he would pull an upset. I think sometimes his weird coaching decisions cost him games, such as the 2007 Alabama game. In a nutshell, I just don't think he has "it" to be able to be a contender in the SEC anymore.

I've been saying for a while that IF Saban were to leave for anywhere at this point in his career, it would be to replace JoPa at PSU. Just speculation on my part because if I'm not mistaken, isn't CNS from the West Virginia area, in Penn State's back yard? There was talk every year of Tuberville making the move to Arky to get back to his roots. I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility for that to happen for Saban. Penn State is a storied program that should demand a top name in coaching once Paterno hangs it up.
-
PSU doesn't want him. They have too much respect for the old school way of Joe Pa and his classy coaching.
Saban has no class.... they would have to be desperate like UA to hire someone like that. They'll need a couple losing years to get that way.

Classic. It gets hotter than a whorehouse on nickel night for you when I point out Bama's 40 of 41 rushes averaged 2.45 yards against us and suddenly you defer to "well, that doesn't matter". FCS cupcake Mizzou State had 2.3 ypc on us and Bama's vaunted running game with Ingram, Richardson and Upchurch can only get 2.45 on 20 of 41 rushes? BTW, I am SO thankful Upchurch switched to Bama the day before signing day. It opened up a spot for Felix Jones.
You said we were so-so. 40 of 41 rush @ 2.45 yards vs. the talent on your O-line and backfield say otherwise. If you want to avoid another woodshed beating by a team full of Utes, you better get that fixed given your performance vs. the worst D in the SEC.

I agree with what you said outside of winning the games he should have won. I don't want to fuck up my buzz right now by looking up and listing all the games he fucked up.

Penn State is a storied program that should demand a top name in coaching once Paterno hangs it up.
In 1997 when it was decided Danny Ford was on his way out, there was a committee put together to choose the next coach consisting of current and former players and a few VIP's (the Chancellor insisted on a committee which was BS, but I digress). Tuberville was still at OM and several people on the committee including Frank Broyles wanted to hire Tommy. From what I've heard, Tommy was VERY receptive to coming to Arkansas. Then idiocy via committee ruled the day and Nutt was hired coming off a 4-7 record at Boise State, his only season in FBS. Hence, the talk ever since about Tommy moving to Arkansas.
IMO, aTm should fire Sherman the day after they play texass in November and hire Tommy to finish the recruiting class. I'm not rooting for this to happen because then we won't be able to stomp them every year at Jerry World.

Auburn was trailing and playing very ineffectively at home to West Virginia. WVU was pulling away very steadily. Then, all of the sudden, they got turnover-itis and coughed up the ball five times. No, that's not a typo. Even with those turnovers, Auburn only won by 11 and in the 4th quarter. So, truth be told, Auburn should also be a 1 loss team.
Umm....no. Unless you call going from 14 up in the first 10 minutes of the game to 1 up at halftime steadily pulling away, that is.

I've been saying for a while that IF Saban were to leave for anywhere at this point in his career, it would be to replace JoPa at PSU.
The only reason I don't them wanting him is stability. They've had him on the sidelines in some role for 60 years (literally, 60 years....he became an assistant in 1950).
Saban, on the other hand, has been from Michigan State to LSU to Miami to Alabama in the last 10 years. If he were to leave Alabama after a few years, I don't think they (Penn State) could find any reason to expect he would stick with them. He's already one of the highest paid. He's already at an all-time Top 10 program. He's already worshiped. He's already an ass (I know, not relevant, but I got carried away describing him and couldn't go any further without adding that).

Problem for a Saban or a Tuberville ending up on the sidelines in Dallas is that John Gruden, Bill Cower, and Mike Shannahan are all available.
Of course, we're talking about Jeerry, so the next Dallas coach may just be Stan Parrish, that guy at Ball State with the 27 game winless streak.

I ain't gonna predict the score. No way.
Most of yall know that Auburn is my second favorite team. I hope yall win every game but tomorrow.
I have followed your team closely. Yall probably haven't followed Arkansas as much as I have followed Auburn. I have followed both teams more than any other in the SEC or nationally.
I'm looking for this to be a helluva game.
Yall haven't played teams of the Alabama/Georgia caliber yet. We have and we lost both games. You will be our 3rd ranked SEC opponent. Tough schedule and it ain't over. We have improved even if the stats don't show it at this point in time. Yeah, Bama kicked our ass, but I could see things that we were doing that we needed to be doing. Bama just outclassed us. They have better players than us and it is hard to beat that.
Yall are a better team than you were last year and we are, too.
Yall can hang a half a hunnert on us, but don't doubt that we can do the same to yall. This game is just more important to us than is it to yall. One more victory and yall are bowl eligible. One more loss and we are sucking hind tit.
I look for a good game. A clean game, because I see no hatred between our staffs. I also look for a Hog victory no matter how small the margin.

Taylor, who has known Chizik since the early 1990s, said the head coach and his family haven't changed since then - even with a $2 million salary.
"They're so grounded. Our kids go to the same school, so there was a little basket that you could get to put in your locker that's like $20," Taylor said. "I told my wife, 'Just get it.' His wife and his kids were like, 'Nah, we can go to Wal-Mart and get one for like $5.' Man makes all that money and they're still pinching pennies. They're really down to earth that way."
