Your pre-season prediction...

[CajunEXPRESS]

Nobody said any of those things except I can see us scoring often and early. Did not say the Hawgs were dysfunctional, only built for a different style of play.

Really a miracles? Gators needed one and got it. Hoax beat the hell out of the Hawgs along with a few others beating the hell out of the Hawgs last year.

You rely too much on Devine intervention to demand others engage you in serious discussions.

TROLL

It's weird how you know every single rating about the hawgs players but have not mentioned anything about our 4 star qb? Our Remington watch center? Our 4 star RB? Our record breaking offense that's returning almost everyone? Our DC who coached under saban? That's weird isn't?

Of course I know about Terrance, Huval, and Harris. Everybody on this board should. I also know that our record-breaking offense did it against teams who finished a combined 42-70, and that we were 3-3 on the road not counting the bowl game last year.

People keep saying Moanroe whooped the Razorbacks. They did. In overtime. They legitimately knocked out Tyler Wilson. That Allen kid was in no way ready to play QB the second half. Heck, the OC wasn't even prepared to call run plays even though Moanroe was daring them to run. I'm just saying that a repeat of the injuries / atrocious coaching is unlikely to happen again this year . . . we can't count on this. If something like that does happen, then yes, we definitely win. But more likely we lose by 20+ points.

[CrazyCajun]

So you think this Arkansas team with a new coaching staff is way better than Florida last year? Without seeing them play a down? We very well could lose by 20, but this team is not a miracle and a prayer away from beating teams like this anymore. They aren't bama or Oregon...they were 4-8 last year. If they are super talented like you say, they could have gone 6-6 on talent alone.

Oh sheesh. Talk about putting words in somebody's mouth. Of course I don't. But you can't just pick and choose which results you want to look at, crazycajun. That's just crazy. Consider this: We lost to Florida. Yes, it was close, but we lost. Arkansas only lost to LSU by a touchdown last year -- does that mean we should focus on that game for the Hogs instead of the Moanroe game? As much as we'd like to admit otherwise, everybody on here knows that LSU is light years beyond anything UL will ever be, and would beat us by at least 7 touchdowns in any kind of organized competition remotely resembling tackle football. So based on your logic, that means Arkansas should beat us by 6 touchdowns. And frankly, that might be more likely with the way things are going than us actually beating Arkansas by any amount, but you are too blinded by your rage to look at life and face the facts. You should put all that rage in a cage, maybe you wouldn't be so crazy.

And yes Arkansas is not the most talented SEC team. But they still have eons more talent than we will ever have. We are the underdogs, we need to embrace that role, and enjoy beating up on SBC teams and perhaps having a quality out-of-conference win once every 5 years or so.

I don't compare scores. On the field if you watched the f'n game...for the first time in my life, we were better than Florida. No flukes...no 8 turnovers by Florida...we were better. Read what the ____ I'm writing, if that team shows up we will bear the shot out of Arkansas. If that team shows up to play, it won't matter what Arkansas does.

Why do you keep referencing an SEC loss as as proof that we will win? That is a sad, sad state of affairs, if we are pointing to losses as reasons we're going to win in the future. Are you some kind of TROLL for LSU or ULM that's on this board just to get a few laughs out of our guarded, cautious optimism about this upcoming season? What if the team that lost to North Texas showed up to play? Why is that any less likely than your view of what could happen?

I'm not using any win or any loss, the play on the field you twit. Why are you basing anything you have seen from bielema before? What if the game mismanager bielema shows up? Why are you bringing up their players stars? What if they shat their pants? You stink of the typical "know your place" sec elitist...give it up dude, can smell you for miles away

[LaHawk]

It's going to be a hard-fought game by both teams. I'm still picking my Hogs, but I am under no delusion (especially after last year) that either team could win.

And, no, I am not an alter of Aging Cajun.

According to the Sagarin ratings, we played the 118th hardest schedule last year. Arkansas played the 9th hardest. In Sagarin's final ratings for the season, we were ranked 62nd and the Hogs were ranked 65th. So go ahead and keep living in your fantasy world where we will dominate Arkansas in Fayetteville because we almost but didn't quite beat a Florida team that made a living off of close victories last year, crazycajun. I guess one synonym for crazy is delusional. Fits. I prefer to take a moderate view of things and hope for the best. One think I will DEFINITELY not do is take this game lightly and flippantly, or support your arrogant view that we are entitled to win. Arkansas is definitely not taking us lightly after last year's historic upset. I hope our football team has more perspective than you, and I hope you don't break your TV if we do lose, crazycajun.

On another note, mental health services are often covered more than you think by employer group health plans, and Obamacare is only going to make that even better for us, so you might want to look into some kind of therapy to address your general emotional issues.

I'm sure the team appreciates your approach to this game...in fact HUD told them team this morning to be realistic and lets try not to get embarrassed and lets hope da big bad hawks don't hurt us...GTFO man. Tell sagarin he can go EAD, Sagarin won't be on the field on aug 31sr

Crazycajun, your rage is getting out of control. Name-calling and foul language are unnecessary. Let's end this now. Honestly, what percentage chance do you think we have of beating Arkansas? And what do you think the final score will be? I think if our guys play their hearts out, we have an 18 to 23% chance of winning. My actual prediction for the final score is 52-17, Hogs. Still, I think we go 10-3 and finally get that SBC championship this year. Let's hear your predictions and then just agree to disagree, ok, bro?

[Aging Cajun]

Not at all...are you ignorant? Or do you just act like it?

Dude, relax. What's your predicted score for the game? Do you think Arkansas has any chance of beating us? Personally, I think if the UL team that showed up against Florida shows up against Arkansas, then we'll be eating bacon for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a month. I think we'll definitely beat them for several reasons: 1) they are installing a new offensive system with players who are in no way, size, shape, or form prepared to play this new kind of offense, which involves running and passing the football; 2) we are installing a completely new defensive scheme, which works to our advantage because Arkansas will in no way be prepared for it; 3) we will have several big plays on special teams (I am just basing this on a hunch, there's really no reason to think this is true); 4) we are not afraid to go on the road and beat an SEC team, as evidenced by the fact that we (almost) won at Florida last year; 5) we have won eighteen games in the past two years, with victories over East Carolina and SDSU; 6) we are already preparing for this game and HUD will have the team fired up; 7) Arkansas isn't going to show up at all, they are likely going to be very scared of a repeat of what happened last year with Moanroe; 8) Arkansas's QB is completely incapable of throwing the ball; and 9) I just have this raging feeling that we are going to win. I think we win and we win big. I agree with you that we score early and often, and Arkansas will be playing from behind. 38-0 UL!
