Fifth year running.

What’s everyone thinking about today? Not sure how much we will see today but I’m pretty sure I’ll have us in the final 4 within the first 5 minutes of practice. Anything in particular you are going to focus on today?

Hello there, offense. (I also added a new chart for scoring margin.) https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/look-comparing-2019-vs-2020-through-week-3

Even after a "loss," Arkansas' numbers continue to improve... https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/update-espn-fpi-projects-arkansas-remaining-7-games-in-2020

Pretty big stuff being reported by Outkick.

Say what you will about Clay Travis which find my self agreeing with him less and less, but he is a damn good lawyer.

I can't imagine this being good for Baylor at all.

I wonder why no one asked Gus, why his QB was attempting to spike on 3rd down at the 30 Sec mark. They were going to give us at least 25 seconds and a Time Out. They could have run the clock down to 5 seconds and kicked on 4th. It is amazing that their time management was bad, and then they fumble the ball, don't recover it, but then they are bailed out by a penalty, which gave them a running clock.

Story includes all seven game times and pitching matchups for the first five games... https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/arkansas-fall-world-series-to-be-streamed-online

Coach does a good job and guy running them is good doing his best to move it along.

Nothing here a big deal. Just some friendly suggestions for the media:

• Coach should be addressed as “Coach” during the press conference. Even if you are friends with Sam Pittman and I am sure he does not mind, but at a press conference you should use the more formal “Coach”.
• Do not wear a hat. Hutch does this on occasion. The lighting is usually bad and wearing a hat hides your eyes and puts your face in shade.
• Do not put your face 4 inches from the camera. Is it Nate Allen who does this? Scary!
• I prefer the real backgrounds to the virtual even if we see your messy bedroom and bad curtains. It is subtle but it helps you look like a real person instead of a cartoon.
• Do not use extreme camera angles. I have seen looking from below at the bottom of your chin and looking down on top of your hat. Both bad.
• It is obvious the women are more attuned to looking good and presentable. Some of the men look like bums. I only remember seeing him once, but there was one guy dressed to the nines. Was his name Jackson? More of him would be fun.

I have been pleasantly surprised at the quality of the questions from the Arkansas media. I remember when their most probing questions were something like, “Talk about the running backs.”

The Texas OU game was unwatchable for me on my main TV which is a top of the line Samsung. CBS looked great and so did our game but the Bama game looks awful. Anyone else having issues or any advice?

Obviously this is a longshot, but if anyone has two tickets to the game this weekend that they're willing to sell, please let me know. Thanks

What is the soonest or latest a team can cancel a football game due to Covid? Day before? 2 days? Is this something we could wake up Sat am and they say the game is cancelled with Ole Miss? Does the Coach make this call? Considering we're pretty banged up, would this be a good time if Ole Miss actually cancelled the game.

Of course I want the game to happen but I wonder if this would actually be in our favor to rest for for another week to have our top offensive players back for this game. We're gonna need to score points to hold our own on this one. We'll actually all of them but they are pretty heavy offensively and have scored on some of the best so far.

Anyway, unbelievable how far our team has come with this coaching and focus I won't be surprised if we keep up what we've done so far, that either Coach Pitt or Odom get a coach of the year award. Good things on the hogrizon

Barry Odom or Eric Mussleman?

@NWAHutch surely there is some stat that can solve this great mystery

The state of Florida just announced it was allowing all stadiums back to full capacity. Dan Mullen came out saying he wanted the stadium this weekend full. University of Florida said no. Now this.

How Eric Musselman feels he addressed rebounding + what's keeping him up at night these days... https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/what-concerns-musselman-as-2020-21-season-approaches

I really like Trelon Smith. Yes I know he lacks top end speed! But he’s quick and runs hard. And he’s great in the passing game. When Boyd comes back I personally think you keep Smith heavy in the game plan as well.

They’re apparently live streaming the first practice for the men’s basketball team tomorrow at 2:30. Login to view embedded media

Pittman is the first ~10 minutes, followed by Kiffin...

I know it's been a couple days since the game, but I know some of y'all like to nerd out on this stuff like me, so I figured I'd still share it with y'all...
