LIVE COMMENTARY: Arkansas @ Texas A&M, October 31st, 2020

Let’s get this party started. I’m already bored af and biting my fingernails. Just hammered Moxies in Southlake with @BigJoeGreen and headed to shop a bit before we kick back on the couch and watch the Hogs throat punch these goat loving wanna be military cadets, that yell like they just stepped on a set of legos.

Excitement

This is the first game that I've really felt excited about seeing how we stack up. A&M is a legit football team and this will be a great benchmark to gauge where we stand. I feel like we will be able to better predict the last half of the season, Sunday morning.

Can our D stop Spiller? Can they contain Mond? Will the DBs continue their unprecedented run? Will Hudson Clark stay consistent? Can Fileepaye and Co. get the offense rolling? Can we count on Boyd to not fold like a cheap suit at contact? Will Knox be advantageous over the inexperienced and smaller Aggies DBs? Can Scott Fountain go more than a quarter without fvcking something up?

6:30 PM Saturday seems like a LONG ways off, but it'll be here before we know it. In the meantime, I will be chewing my fingernails off.

OT In-state football players who signed elsewhere, pre-1994

So the thread about Keith Jackson and subsequent post by @HeightsHog reminded me of my giant database of in-state football players who signed with FBS schools out of high school.

I’ve got a pretty good list of guys back through the 1994 class. Before then, it’s pretty much limited to those who signed with the Hogs (thanks to my old media guides) and lacking on those who signed elsewhere.

That’s where you guys come in. Help me add dudes to my list.

(NOTE: These are only guys who signed with FBS schools, not FCS or DII. It’s also those who signed with FBS schools straight out of HS - so someone like Cortez Kennedy wouldn’t be included. It also doesn’t include walk-ons, so Don Hutson - who was a walk-on football player at Alabama - isn’t included.)

Here’s what I got...

1992 - Ross Greenwood - OL - Fayetteville - Kansas State
1985 - Eric Mitchel - QB - Pine Bluff - Oklahoma
1984 - Mark Hutson - OL - FS Northside - Oklahoma
1984 - Keith Jackson - TE - LR Parkview - Oklahoma
1984 - Curtice Williams - NG - Pine Bluff - Oklahoma
1983 - Leonard Jackson - ?? - Pine Bluff?? - Oklahoma State
1982 - Leslie O’Neal - DE - LR Hall - Oklahoma State
1981 - Danny Bradley - QB - Pine Bluff - Oklahoma
1981 - Ike Jackson - QB - FS Northside - Oklahoma State
1976 - Steve Cox - P/K - Charleston - Tulsa
1951 - Bob Ford - L - Wynne - Memphis
1931 - Bear Bryant - E - Fordyce - Alabama
1931 - Bob Seawall - ?? - Pine Bluff - Alabama

???? - Shawn Jones - RB - NLR?? - Oklahoma State
???? - Stanley Blair - CB - Pine Bluff?? - Oklahoma State

(Also let me know if you can fill in any of the question marks.)

Basketball Roster Rumblings

Been hearing for a week or more now that Ethan Henderson could be in trouble again and potentially removed from the team. The same person that leaked the Reggie Chaney info to me has said that E is off the team. Nothing is “confirmed” yet, but that gives me three sources now saying the same thing, two of them being my most reliable.

SIAP Pittboss article on ESPN


Great article about Pittman’s approach and why it seems to be working at Arkansas.
