What is the best hogs forum to check out?

Well hogville.net is the most active, but the people over there are pretty crazy sometimes. Razorbacktalk.com, woopig.net, and the arkansas section of secrant.com are good ones

I hope you all understand that UL is way better than the UL of Old here is UL vs Arkansa 2002

FAYETTEVILLE, AR - Louisiana-Lafayette gave the University of Arkansas a scare, but in the end the Razorbacks prevailed 24-17 before 54,843 at Razorback Stadium.

Like they have done all season, the Ragin' Cajuns believed in themselves and never quit, silencing critics who tabbed UL Lafayette 34-point underdogs.

Trailing 10-0 after the first quarter, the Cajuns put together a nifty nine-play, 60-yard drive that culminated in a 22-yard touchdown pass from Eric Rekieta to Fred Stamps. The drive's key play came on a two-yard rush by Jerome Coleman on fourth-and-one at the UA 38-yard line. Andre George added a nine-yard rush on a direct snap from quarterback, while Rekieta completed three passes for 44 yards, all to Stamps. The score was the first against the Arkansas defense in 149:29, ruining any chance of a third consecutive shutout for the Razorbacks.

The Razorbacks quickly answered with a five-play, 65-yard drive in 1:01. Matt Jones 24-yard toss was complete for a touchdown to Carlos Ousley, giving Arkansas a 17-7 edge.

With less than 30 seconds to play in the first half, Charles Tillman blocked a Richie Butler punt, returning the ball 19 yards to the UA 21-yard line. With only 19 seconds remaining and no timeouts, the Cajuns quickly moved 13 yards on three plays before Sean Comiskey connected on a 25-yard field goal to cut the Arkansas lead to 17-10 at the half.

The Cajuns missed an opportunity to put three more points on the board to begin the second half. Jamal Smith forced an Arkansas fumble that was recovered by the Cajuns at their own 41. The offense drove down to the UA 22-yard line, only to come up short on a 39-yard field goal attempt. The missed opportunity seemed to start a swing in momentum that gradually shifted to Arkansas.

The Razorbacks scored on the first play of the fourth quarter. Jones tossed his second touchdown pass of the game, a 19-yard strike to DeCori Birmingham to give the Razorbacks a 24-10 lead. The five-play, 58-yard drive was keyed by the rushing of Jones, who through three quarters had 12 rushes for 121 yards.

As the Cajuns defense tired, the Arkansas offense found its rhythm. The Razorbacks next possession saw the team move 49 yards to the Cajuns goal line. On fourth-and-one, the Razorbacks elected to go for the touchdown rather than take the field goal attempt and possibly a three-possession lead. Cajuns linebacker Stanley Smith stuffed Mark Pierce in midair as Pierce attempted to hurl the pile into the end zone. The stop helped the Cajuns regain some of the momentum that had previously been held completely by the Razorbacks.

Tillman blocked his second punt of the afternoon with just over two minutes remaining in the game. The ball jumped around the field, until Wendall Williams snatched the loose pigskin and daunted 18 yards into the end zone for a Cajuns touchdown. The extra point brought the score to 24-17 in favor of Arkansas.

Louisiana-Lafayette had one final chance as Tillman again wreaked havoc on Arkansas. With the Razorbacks attempting to run out the clock, Tillman stripped Richard Smith to give UL Lafayette the ball on the UA 34.

Jon Van Cleave, in for Rekieta who sustained a dislocated thumb, was forced to scramble on his first snap. Unable to avoid the defensive rush because of his sore ankle, Van Cleave tried to hit receiver Bill Sampy in the end zone. The ball was short and intercepted by Arkansas at the five-yard line to end the Cajuns rally.

We played them in 91 or 92 and should have beat them. Missed 2 makable FGs and lost 9-7.
I played in that game and we outplayed them. We will beat them by 10.

With Chaney as our OC the thought is we will throw it more than he did at wisconsin. Probably not the first year though with two good RBs and a new QB.

----Just remember that the University of Louisiana gave Arkansas the best thing that ever happened to its athletics department----John McDonald----more NCAA championships than anyone ever!!!! YOU ARE WELCOME!!!!

Mrs. Express and I attended a game, cannot remember the year but after your games mentioned. We got pretty much stomped. Neither your games nor that game will have anything to do with this game. New coaches, players long removed from then.

Cajuns will IMO have every chance to win this game. The Hogs will be wild high, their crowd wild high. If we improve on defense we will be right there. It won't take much to take both the team and fans to a nightmare of the ULM game in their minds.

The Hog coach is really good, and will do really well at Arkansas, but this is his first game. I think he will bring the Big X approach instead of the Big XII. More defense and less mistakes give scoring opportunities. I like what we bring on offense, nobody knows what we will bring on defense yet. Special teams have been great, now they appear to be in good hands, but until you see them in the crucible it is an unknown.

All I know right now is Hud was not real happy with the defense in the first scrimmage.

You young guys are awesome. Come see me at the Eauk and Ill give you some really good beer, not that swill you youngsters are reduced to drinking.

I love Laffy!!!

It's true. He will.

[CajunEXPRESS]

How do you think their qb got hurt?? He was continually getting pounded into the turf... And if it was hud that went for the win and got it youd say he has balls of steel but you call them lucky...im all for promoting the cajuns but it seems petty when you can't give someone their due when they actually do something right

First of all ULM won the game, they outplayed the Hogs. When I say they got lucky, i absolutely think they did. The Hogs were stunned they were going for a first down instead of a tying field goal. No doubt the play was not lucky in the sense that a sure tackle was missed, but any time you run sixteen yards in the red zone on a do or die play some luck was involved. At least I think it was around sixteen.

Also you are right, Wilson got hammered several times before suffering a concuss, and it was in the second, not the third or fourth quarter. So the Hoax were giving them hell, still the Hogs held a twenty-one point lead starting the fourth. It was a team effort, Browning heroics mean nothing if the Hogs can muster even one field goal.

Bottom line: the monrovians beat Arkansas last year, so the CAJUNS have to go up there and flat-out CRUSH their sorry @$$ES... PERIOD!!

[ATXCajun]

As an old turd, you have a nice assessment and belief in this team. Maybe a little more credibility using the term Laffy every now and again. 😉

However as a naive 27 year old Cajun die hard, I envision an undefeated season every summer. Which would include whipping up on the Hogs.

27 year-old die hard? That is music to my ears. Need about 27,000 of those.
