Well, you make some very good sense. In your paper analysis, Arkansas looks like they will blow LSU out. Below is how Arkansas and LSU did against common opponents:

Auburn: Arkansas defeated Auburn 27- 10. LSU lost to Auburn 7-3.
Tennessee: Arkansas beat Tennessee 31-14. LSU defeated Tennessee 28-24.
Ole Miss: Arkansas beat Ole Miss 38-3. LSU defeated Ole Miss 24-20 in OT.
Mississippi State: Arkansas beat MSU 28-14. LSU defeated MSU 48-17.
Alabama: Arkansas beat Alabama 24-23. LSU beat Alabama 28-14.

It is very impressive the way Arkansas blew out all the SEC teams they played including Auburn at Auburn.

But, this is SEC football, and this is Arkansas & LSU. You might want to keep this post as a reference to what you've predicted just in case this paper analysis comes back to bite you in the butt.
:biggrin:

[razorhead]

I forgot to throw in the Les Miles factor. That always starts the talented LSU bunch out at around a 9 point deficit.

:biggrin:

Since entering the SEC Arkansas and LSU have played 14 times.

Average margin of victory: 16.8

Not exactly close games in the series, but just so that you don't think it was a couple of big blowouts contributing to this number:

Number of victories by less than 10 pts.: 3

Thats means only 21% of the time has this game been very close. Hence, the statement that 'this is SEC football, and this is AR & LSU' isn't really merited.

This may come back to bite me in the butt, but I have a good feeling about this one. And, I'll take a one point 10 overtime victory if it comes to that.

[GeauxTo]

Oh, you forgot this statistic...



Tigers hold a 31-17-2 advantage in the series that dates back to 1901.





Who's your Daddy??

[GeauxTo]

And this...

Since Arkansas joined the SEC in 1992, LSU holds an 8-5 mark against the Razorbacks; LSU is 7-5 in Little Rock.


See ya Friday, Piggee Wiggee!

[LSUisLIFE611]

There is no way in hell this game will be a blowout by Ark, they are good, i will deff give them that, but LSU is good alround. We found balance in our offense, and our D is one of the best in the nation.

Close game records(since 01)
LSU 16 - 5
ARK 10 - 10

[WallyGoat]

Oh, this game is going to be great. I anticipate probably the best SEC game of the season when the Hogs and Tigers collide.

These stats are all impressive on both sides. Arkansas this season, and LSU's overall history against ARK.

This game is too close to call.

Key Players: LSU - Jamarcus Russell and Dwayne Bowe.
Key Players: ARK - Darren MCFadden and the ARK O-Line.

[razorhead]

Try factoring out the beatdowns of the cupcakes you scheduled and stick with the SEC wins. I think the numbers I posted will tell the tale. We will see.

[GatorNation]

Can Less-U stop the Hog running game? That's it. That's the question.....because the Tigers, I think, are tops in the nation in pass defense (efficiency?), so Mustain will have trouble in the passing game. Arkansas must have success on the ground, as we all know....

Gonna be a great game, and, for obvious reasons, I'm pulling for Arkansas.

Mustain hasn't played since the first quarter of the USC game so I don't think he will be a big factor.

You are right in that we have to establish some play action early to keep the Tigers from stacking the box. That and shutting down JR, Bowe, Deucet, ect will be the keys to the game IMO.

Just got to Little Rock this morning for Turkey Day and the game tomorrow.

It already smells like corndogs.

Thanks LSU.

Ha-Ha-Ha
That's just like a Hog... can't distinguish the difference between a weeny and a crawfish. In this case, however, I am sure it is a Coushon de Lait (that's a pig cooked in the ground for you non-Cajuns).

Man, I wish I was there! It should be a blast. I'll be glued to the old TV set!

[shanksta13]

Last year's game was a close one if I remember correctly. 19-17 LSU wasn't it?

[GeauxTo]

Last year's game was a close one if I remember correctly. 19-17 LSU wasn't it?
In this decade, LSU leads the series 4-2:

2005 LSU 19-17
2004 LSU 43-14 (in Little Rock)
2003 LSU 55-24
2002 Ark 21-20 (in Little Rock)
2001 LSU 41-38
2000 Ark 14-3 (in Little Rock)

[HOGMAN88]

Just over 3 hrs till game time! This is gonna be a good one. One thing no one has talked about is Casey Dick. Dick is a better passer per game than Mustain and has been playing a lot lately. Razorbacks by 6.

[AFWarrior83]

It's almost 2AM here in Japan, man I am NOT going to miss this game for anything!! "COME ON HOGS, TAKE US TO ATL UNDEFEATED IN CONFERENCE PLAY"

Good luck. I have decided to pull for the Hogs today. Sorry Geaux and TigerFanatic. I hope for a good game, but I gotta pull for the Hogs who still have a shot at the NC.

[AFWarrior83]

The game comes on at 0430 AM here, I'm getting tired, but watching Texas get beat will keep me awake lol!

[GeauxTo]

I have decided to pull for the Hogs today.
What a relief! Now I know we'll win!
Ha-Ha-Ha

Less than an hour until the game starts. The players are on the field for their warmup. I'm listening to the pre-game show on Baton Rouge radio and it sounds like the Tigers have come to play. They had a great short week of practice, flew to Little Rock yesterday after a Thanksgiving meal at LSU, and seem very focused and intent. If they stay focused, make no mistakes, and play up to their ability, the porkers could be in for a long day. On the first few McFadden runs, they need to hit him like a Mack truck, get his attention, and make him aware that these are the kind of hits he's going to receive all day. Same for Felix Jones. And when McFadden lines up in the QB position, they need to be even more aggressive.

GEAUX TIGERS!

Well from everything I am hearing the Razorback players walk through was ALL BUISNESS! Looks like this is going to be a battle of the titans! :box: :drive:

Razorhead is still trying convince himself....when will he learn?

[lacene]

Are they still playing?? What was the final score???



Oh.....

LSU: 31
ARK: 26

When did the mayor of Shreveport start gracing this board? Good to hear from you Zud. By the way, the game was over a few months ago.

Yeah, I know the game is over but the quickest way to find you. BTW...I am known as the Mayor of Shreveport on the LSU board, The Lair.

Guess you were the first one to call me that. But it has been the Evil Twins who have really promoted it.

What's your take on Springdale 5, Nutt and Broyes?

I am interested in hearing your take.

[WDavE]

Hi Zud!

Good to see you posting here.....

Did you bring RebelDave with you?

Hey Zud do you know any firemen in Shreveport? One of my best friends in the world is a Captain.

Hey WDave...naw RD is over @ the other SECTALK.

Some of my best friends are firemen in Kenner, La. near New Orleans. But they have recently retired from there...quite the pranksters, they are!

Also attend Sunday School with some firemen who are good people.

BTW...firemen are a wild Bunch...OM has nothing on them!

I am asking for Razorhead's opinion of the current state of Arkansas football.

Given that Razorhead is a valued fan for Arkansas then his opinion should be viewed by all SEC fans here.

I really don't understand your objection to this since it does you absolutely no harm. And we should read what other SEC fans have to say.

I will make a pact with you however, if you don't read my posts, then I will overlook yours whenever I see it.

Perhaps I should find some other place to post that is a little more SEC fan friendly.

[razorhead]

I had given up on you Zud. The state of Arkansas football is better than it has been for some time, despite the naysayers. We have the leading Heisman candidate returning along with arguably the second best back in the SEC in Felix Jones. The defense will be sound under Reggie Herring again. QB is still an issue, however we won't be any worse at that position. I for one am glad that the whiners from Springdale are gone. Sure Mustain won 8 games as a starter, but most of that was due to the defense. The Alabama game certainly was. Much of the younger fan base in AR are calling for Nutt's head. I'm no Nutt lover, that's for sure, but I also don't see how you can fire someone after a banner year.

The new offensive coordinator will throw the ball more, but McFadden will still be the focus of the offense. He should be. Disenchanted Hog fans who are still in love with Gus Malzahn should get a one way ticket to Tulsa and root for mid major in a mediocre conference.

In summary, the state of the football team is much better than the state of the fans. Don't judge the team by it's fan based message boards.

Very informative post. Gives a better picture of the conditions in Fayetteville. I'm looking forward to seeing McFadden in person in Tiger Stadium this year.

Good report and thanx.

Were you @ the game in da Rock? I was there and I sat with a bunch of Hawgs there. It was a he// of a game for sure!

For me...Nutt is a good motivator but not a good recruiter. Seems to me that the best of Arkansas high school class went to places like on the Plains this year and to Michigan. I understand that he gets the most of what he has but why doesn't he get more to begin with? While I'm on it...I'm not sold on his coaching adjustments during the game.

Who can argue with the success that he had this year? But the meltdown has me thinking that he is a marked man and it is only a matter of time.

He made a deal with the devil to get the Springdale 5 and he didn't live up to the deal and they walked. I had the impression that he had to have them to save his job.

Your o line and your rb's were simply fantastic. But I can't see a champion being one dimensional.

Nutt reminds me of our basketball coach Brady in that he has a bad year and then he comes back with a good one to keep from getting fired. Brady has been @ LSU for 10 years doing that and there are fans that would like to see him geaux. Nutt looks like that to me.

Once again, no offense was intended, but it appears that some here are overly sensitive. :wacko:

The reason why I suggested private msgs was because it seemed like days passed between one of you posted a question, and the other responded with an answer. I don't know how frequent either of you visit this site, maybe when you do, the first thing you do is check this thread. My reasoning was, if the reason so many days were passing between responses was because the thread was being forgotten, then if you PM, a notice that a PM was sent would pop up for that member the second he logs on - at least it does for me.

That way there'd be no chance of your post being overlooked by him, and vice versa. I don't know, it seemed to make sense to me. Whatever.....

[razorhead]

Like I said, I'm no Nutt lover. I was at the game in Little Rock. I was one of many screaming run the freaking ball on the last series! 4 straight deep passes after completing 3 all day? That was absolutely stupid.

As far as recruiting, Nutt is not very good. The QB from Texarkana was ready to commit as a junior but backed off because he didn't want to go where Mustain went. Next year will be a banner year. The high school that produced Shawn Andrews has 4 top 250 recruits. All of them are coming to Arkansas. Including a QB and RB. We have to do well in state. Malzahn and his kids were a cancer. Damian Williams had a lot of balls thrown his way and dropped about half of them. The crybaby wanted to go and he has. I hope he sits the bench at USC for 3 more years. Same goes for Mustain. The email was ridiculous, but he had done this to himself long before that.

I believe Nutt's days are numbered. However, I also believe McFadden and Jones are good enough to bail him out for at least another year or two. It won't hurt my feelings to see him go.

I don't think anyone was offended. I visit this board more often during football season, but it is basically a forum for Gamecock fans to plead their case for respect to the rest of the SEC (and before I get jumped I didn't say they don't deserve it, they do). So I don't post that often. And quite frankly, the basketball team has been such an embarrasment that I'm afraid to read the smack being talked about us.

Since you didn't take me up my pact, I have to respond to you.

I don't care what you think.

I wasn't offended with your suggestion...I just wondered who do you think you are to tell me what and in what manner I should post anything.

First of all, I know that Razorhead is an intelligent poster for Arkansas and this board is better served with his valued opinion.

Secondly, yeah there was some time that passed between posts but so what...it's the slow season.

[lacene]

I wasn't offended with your suggestion...I just wondered who do you think you are to tell me what and in what manner I should post anything.


you didn't read my first post, obviously. I've never told you to do anything.

[zud the hut]

you didn't read my first post, obviously. I've never told you to do anything.

Apparently you haven't read my posts that state that Razodhead has a valued opinion that better serves this board if people read what he has to say.

I really really don't understand what you find so difficult about that. This means that his opinion should be read by the board and not in PM's...can you understand this?????

I understood your response the minute I read it. I haven't questioned your response or your reasoning behind your response, so for you to think that I haven't read them or by implication suggest that I don't understand, I don't get how you come to that conclusion.

I just tried to explain the reasoning behind my first post with my second, based on the STRONG tone I got from your post that suggested you were offended, so that you could better understand. Then I defended myself on your claim that I was "telling" you to do something, when clearly I hadn't. Maybe you can't help but impart such a tone in your posts, and that's just your posting style.

But I'll leave this thread at that. I've asked the question, and to my satisfaction it was answered, so there's no need to drag this out any further.

Thanx Hog Slop! I am only stating what my limited view sees....and I can be wrong, of course.

I am going to be watching to see how it all comes together for the Hawgs next year.

I openly wonder how that magnificent o line can be replaced? And further...how that will effect DMac and Jones.

[Hawgwild]

O-line is the least of my worries, im worred about the DB's more than anything.

[razorhead]

True. The O-Line always seems to be good. We must have one decent coach on the hill.

I don't think the DB's will be as bad as we think. Grant should come back from his injury, and Hewlitt was moved back to safety after Freddy Fairchild came back this spring. I look for the defense to be pretty good.

Our obvious problem is at QB.

[Hawgwild]

yeah, lets hope Coach Lee can work his magic on him, at least we have more recievers to throw to.

[zud the hut]

OK...Razorhead...how do you see this season and this year's game with LSU?

[zud the hut]

Bump for Mr. Razorhead

[razorhead]

I see the Hogs doing quite well. I see 9 or 10 wins with Nutt losing one he shouldn't (probably UK) and winning one he shouldn't (Auburn). I hate to predict an outcome in the LSU game. I think Russell was the difference last year. I really did expect us to win that game. I'd like to think we have a shot this year, but who knows...I'm not sticking my neck out this early.

[Gator2753]

This thread is going to catch the USC recruiting thread. LOL

Now, I know that the rb's are super!

But what I wonder about is the oline. Will it continue to be good?

[woo_pig_sooie]

Coach Markuson has always found a way to put out a very good offensive line. I don't think this year will be any different.

[lLandonhog]

Coach Markuson has always found a way to put out a very good offensive line. I don't think this year will be any different.

Every year, it seems like "we're losing our veteran OLine"; but the next year it always winds up being one of our strong points...

I expect nothing different this year... DMac and Felix will both get well over 1,000 yards again... #1 and #2 in the SEC again.

[shanksta13]

DMac and Felix will both get well over 1,000 yards again... #1 and #2 in the SEC again.

I don't think they will be able to pull off that feat again (#1 and #2). I think there are some very talented running backs in the SEC this year that could all run for over 1,000 yards.

[The Ramp]

I expect nothing different this year... DMac and Felix will both get well over 1,000 yards again... #1 and #2 in the SEC again.

i don't buy that

[zud the hut]

Coach Markuson has always found a way to put out a very good offensive line. I don't think this year will be any different.

OK...then what about the negative off season for HDN?

Will it affect the regular season or the game with LSU?

[woo_pig_sooie]

If anything I think it will drive him to succeed even more. Who wouldn't want to go out and stuff it down some of these critics' throats?

As someone else so put it, "there is no turmoil inside the program, there is turmoil surrounding the program." The vast majority of players love Nutt and will play hard for him. I see Arkansas having an amazing year and Nutt riding off in the sunset somewhere he can be appreciated.

[lLandonhog]

i don't buy that

I don't think they will be able to pull off that feat again (#1 and #2). I think there are some very talented running backs in the SEC this year that could all run for over 1,000 yards.

I agree... There is a ton of new young talented backs in the SEC this year, but why would things be different for Felix and Darren?

I guess the real question, would be "who do you see beating out Felix for the #2 spot"? I assume we will all concede the #1 spot going to DMac, barring any injury...

If I had to pick just one back right now that would break 1,000 and pass Felix Jones, I would pick Keiland Williams from LSU. However, it could aslo be Brad Lester, Kestahn Moore, Hardesty of Tennessee, Knowshon Moreno or Anthony Dixon.

This game? Owned? I thought it was a pretty good game, that wasn't over until the final minutes or final seconds...

everything was in place last year for the hogs. that feat will be hard to duplicate as another poster said. i'm not sold on the rebuilding OLine bit either. the loss of those three guys on the OLine will haunt ya'll this year IMO. that being said, DMac wins the Heisman and will be the #1 pick in the NFL draft.

OK...then what about the negative off season for HDN?

Will it affect the regular season or the game with LSU?

It could early on, but if Nutt continues to win the voices of the Razorback faithful will finally drown out those of the Springdale High School faithful. I for one am so sick and tired of this crap around here. I hope the guy who requested the phone records, the guy who filed the lawsuit, Mustain, his momma, and Damian Williams all go down in flames.

Looking at this video reminds me again of how good McFadden is. He makes people miss tackles time and time again. His vision, ability to cut, and speed are unbelieveable. There isn't anyone as good as him.

He's a good'n!

One thing that I was suddenly reminded about, was LSU's recievers... JR was a beast, but these guys were probably underrated....

Man, the felix jones return was pretty sweet at the end of the game, he ran over like 3 people, i really thought he was going all the way.

No joke!

Poor Felix.... He's an amazing back with an absolutely stellar attitude and personality.

He'll make us proud for years to come...

Thanx for noticing lLandonhog as both those recievers went in the first round of the draft bringing the total to 4 LSU first rounders.

Looks like other people besides you noticed.
