A player was elevated from the practice squad and made a big play for his team, another former Hog scored his first TD of the season + much more... https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/pro-hogs-nfl-report-2020-week-5

Trying not to get too ahead of myself or too caught up in the moment, but I honestly can’t think of a bigger ref mistake since I’ve been watching the hogs from a blatant, impact, and game changing perspective.

I think about the Florida PF, the UNC (block call), Auburn’s “TD” when they had Cam...but none had the impact of going 100% win to 100% loss.

Any thoughts?

It was recovered by Joe Foucha 2.36 seconds following the initial whistle.

Wanting to take my 9 year old son. Let me know the section and price. Thanks

So my 40th birthday was yesterday. My wife asked me a while back what I wanted to do. We'd been talking about going down to visit some friends in Texas and I said let's just do that - mainly so she didn't feel pressure to put on any big shindig. So, we drive down to Van Alstyne, TX, north of McKinney. We go out with friends Friday night. Saturday we just hang out by the pool and watch football, which was awesome until it wasn't. After the Arkansas game, our friend's got brisket catered in which was phenomenal. I go back outside and I'm sitting by the pool watching Ole Miss/Alabama when everything gets kinda quiet. So for those of you that don't know, 90% of what I listen to is Red Dirt music and my favorites are all female - Courtney Patton, Kaitlin Butts, Sunny Sweeney, Bri Bagwell, etc. (most of y'all have never heard of any of those). But my favorite by far is a girl named Jamie Lin Wilson. So, everything gets quiet (there are probably 20 people in the backyard), and lo and behold who should walk through the backdoor with a birthday cake? Ms. Jamie Lin Wilson. I don't know what I did. I think I might have cried. I damn sure couldn't figure out what to say. My wife had booked her for a 90 minute private concert, which was literally the highlight of my life. Then she hung around for a couple more hours talking, taking pics, etc. She is as amazing as a person as she is as a singer. Anyway, my wife is the greatest and I just wanted to share that amazing experience that in one nanosecond made me forget all about the ballgame!

SEC POWER RANKINGS WEEK 3

It has been three weeks, and wouldn't you know it, Alabama and Georgia are back running the SEC.

Ole Miss put a scare into the Crimson Tide and certainly prompted some questions of Nick Saban's defense, but they survived and now we're left to wonder who will stop Alabama in the West.

LSU has certainly fallen by the wayside. The Tigers were given a very favorable runway of Mississippi State, Vanderbilt and Missouri to start, and they still managed to stumble to a 1-2 record. What's more, they gave up more points through their first three games (96) than any season in school history.

Auburn, on the other hand, is a mystery. It's hard to trust those Tigers after what happened against Georgia a week ago and then needing a very questionable call to beat Arkansas with a last-second field goal at home.

Texas A&M already had its chance to beat the Tide and the Aggies lost by four touchdowns.

Speaking of the Aggies ...

Who in the East is going to stand in the way of Georgia?

Florida looked to be neck-and-neck with Georgia a week ago, but then the Gators went on the road and lost to Texas A&M on a last-minute field goal and changed the complexion of that two-horse race. And somehow their defense is worse than LSU's, giving up a whopping 100 points through three games.

Missouri, South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Kentucky are all below .500, so they're out.

Which leaves Georgia standing somewhat alone atop the East and Alabama doing the same in the West.

And wouldn't you know it, they get to play one another Saturday in Tuscaloosa and we'll be able to say whom the front-runner really should be. -- Alex Scarborough

One freshman made his debut, one got his first non-special teams action, another notched his first tackle... https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/2020-arkansas-freshman-report-week-3

Looks like it's Vandy-Mizzou. Story from our Mizzou site: https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/sources-mizzou-vanderbilt-football-game-postponed

So refreshing: https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/pittman-s-confidence-stems-from-belief-in-personnel

So yes, I am subjecting myself to a rewatch. Franks played really well, but, do y'all think there were multiple occasions, specifically in the 4th quarter, where he could have hit some short passes and turned them down to keep for 2-3 yards. I feel like there were multiple opportunities.

Hog highlights from the game yesterday:

As of week 4.

Would be the only two teams in the SEC with (2) Top 25 wins this season so far. In our case it would’ve truly been Top 16 matchups.

Had the game been officiated correctly.

That’s top notch Sam Pittman!

I read on here last night that the illegal formation calls on the punt team were basically due to someone not being on the line but really was because they were not lined up straight. Which could be called on most punts in football? It did seem really odd. On one call it appeared the commentators were not sure who it was on. Anyone have any clarity on those calls? Kickoffs out of bounds and 2 block punts in 2 games are ridiculous!

Not a mention about the Bo Nix play. He wrote Two articles and not even came close to addressing the call. The Auburn fan base just pretends that it never happened. I do believe is the @NWAHutch or @nikkichavanelle were on the other side of the call would have still reported the facts and truth haha.

Auburn = worst fan base ever

And who holds the record? Is it OhLordy?

I think DickTalesLOL might beat that record today. He's still got 3 hours to get a few more threads rattled off.

Quick hits from RebelGrove:
Review of the game, not a lot different than after the game that night. Had a chance and had them on the ropes and have to make plays. He did throw us one and we dropped the interception. Have to make that play. Two fumbled snaps, but especially the second one with us running a play where Kenny was in the flat and it would have been a touchdown, the linebacker was looking the wrong way. It would have tied it up and kept pressure on them. Had a chance to beat them. We're getting started and a lot of work to do. Just the beginning.

I've never known the signals. Didn't even know that when I was there. I love Saban and have respect for him, but that wouldn't even help us. We call the play before they do anything. It wouldn't do us any good. By time they would relay it, we're already snapping the ball. People do it. It's not illegal. But it's for people who play slower. We did not do that. It doesn't make any sense.

Briles won't know our signals. Our defensive signals are the least of our worries. We have to tackle better and make more plays.

Confidence is fragile and our defense is struggling and we're playing great players. It's hard. It take a part of a game to play well and gain some confidence. This week hopefully we can get it back. What's in the past doesn't matter. Each week we'll play and see what happens. I look for us to be better on defense this weekend.

We do tackling in practice. We continue to work on it. This isn't an excuse, but defenses are struggling around the country. Maybe spring ball is more important for defense. Who knows. But we have to get better.

We hosted a bunch of recruits virtually. It's hard right now so we're doing everything we can think of. We may not meet any of these kids in person before they sign. The last three weeks recruiting feedback is a whole lot better. Kids are excited about our energy and the way we are playing. And on defense they can see we need players and they know they can help us win. On offense they know they can come here and know we'll have those numbers. A lot of good kids going on right now.

I don't want to rat poison the guy, but it's A plus. Matt has been excellent. He had no spring. This is all new for him. He was in a QB competition. He's not a third year starter in our system.

Haven't heard anything about the dead period ending sooner.

It was painful to kick that field goal, but it was too long. We were in fourth down mode the whole fourth quarter. We weren't going to punt, so that was painful to kick the field goal. It was good for Luke to see one go in.

We had conversations with Arkansas last December about the job. I knew their A.D. They have a lot of good young players on offense. They're doing a great job. They could have easily won against Auburn after losing 20 straight SEC games before beating State.

Hope to have Jacquez Jones back this weekend. We missed him.

I'd like to thank Hunter Yurachek for the following:

1. For your scripted response we see from AD's throughout CFB. #textbook
   
   
2. For exhausting all possible scenarios in under 18 hrs. #cheersmate
   
   
3. For encouraging us to move on. #feelsgreat.
   
   
4. For typing a message via twitter to your fan base vs a video. #realpersonal
   
   
5. For failing to realize you could be the voice of Arkansas. #easyout
   
   
6. For following the money and corruption that is SEC football. #justmeansmore
   
   
7. For allowing me to be a fan of this. #grateful
   
   
8. For trying. #admirable
   
   
9. For giving up. #unacceptable

This is not your fault let me be clear, but I was eager to hear from our AD - to show fight not only privately, but publicly. I don't see or feel that emotion in a tweet.

Sam Pittman is right when he says this is a PROUD DAMN state. Figure it out.

to actually have a designated special teams coach...I even opined that special teams play could make the difference in the W/L column in 2-3 in very close games this season...never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that we would perform even WORSE than last year...I wish someone on this board behind the scenes who actually knows what has gone wrong could enlighten us ...Can we PLEASE find a dedicated kicker who can put the ball in the end zone like 80-90 % of the time so that the ball doesn't sail out of bounds or lead to poor kick-off coverage putting the other team at the 35 or 40 yard line...everybody else does so why can't we ??? Also, it is silly NOT to have a backup QB handle the snap for FG's with at least having the threat of pulling up and passing the ball or running with it...who is to say that the bobbled snap after our 1st TD would not have been handled cleanly by a skilled player( instead of the punter) which lead to going for 2 points after following touchdowns X 2 and failing both times...these little things make a huge difference !
