At the risk of the usual ridicule from the board, I truly believe that Hunter Yurachek

should have flatly refused the SEC home office when they slated the Razorbacks to play both Florida and Georgia this season on top of our previous difficult schedule. He should have told them that we will play one of the two and play the other in proper rotation next year. If the league office refused to change the schedule then we should chose to forfeit one of the games. It is senseless to take extreme measures to protect the players from Covid-19 only to almost guarantee multiple injuries from the grind of such a brutal schedule. If the league office and Greg Sankey refuse their obligation to treat all league members fairly, then H.Y. must step up and protect the team from the idiots playing favorites in the league office.

Sooo....

Got to bite the bullet on this one. The other day I put out that I thought Coates looked too skinny to be 289 lbs. I was wrong. After Hutch ( thanks Hutch for telling us about this) pointed out that once you see Coates up close you realize just how large of a man he is. After looking at the videos today, I can see that he is definitely a lot bigger than I thought. I’m a man that can admit when he’s wrong and I was wrong on this one.

OT EPL Season starts Friday

I know we have some fans of EPL teams on the board (or at least we did). Wanted to get everyone's opinion on who wins the league, who gets top 4? Here's my top 4 respectively:

1)Liverpool
2)Man City
3)Tottenham
4)Chelsea

First off, I'm a Liverpool fan, so I have a bit of a bias. I do think Liverpool challenge City for the title, with that said, my heart says Liverpool win the league, my mind says City. As for Tottenham, they have looked great in preseason, haven't lost any key players off the roster, but also haven't really added anyone, I see them sustaining the upward trajectory, but not eclipsing the top 2. 4th place was so tough, I though long and hard about putting United in there, but ultimately I just don't think I can trust Jose not to blow that team up, they have a great roster, but it's Jose's 3rd year for United and that has been always been where it goes wrong from him, and if the preseason is any indicator, he might have a very miserable season. I chose Chelsea because I think Sarri is a great coach and they managed to get a great replacement for Courtois, they kept Hazard (well there's still a few hours left in the transfer market) and I the he kicks back on this year and has the type of season he had 2 years ago for Chelsea, I think their one downside is uncertainty at the forward position, can Morata or Giroud get the goals Chelsea need from them, that I'm not 100 percent sure of.

Enjoyed last years thread, best of luck to all. Can't wait for EPL games and Hog games on Saturdays!

Media access

Since our favorite topics on this board right now are comparing how different this coaching staff is to the previous, how does the info and access we are getting from practice differ?

To me this staff seems way more closed off with access and info. Covid protocols likely have something to do with it. Last staff allowed first 15-20 minutes of every practice which was still pretty restrictive and you really didn't gain a ton of insight since no access to any live scrimmages or plays. We are working of crumbs now and the occasional school released highlight video after each practice that up to this point has us with intimate visuals of the water bottles.

OT Census workers face guns in NM

My son is a Census mgr and in rural NM the collectors are met by armed citizens, no shootings. My take is WTH? And I thought Arkansas rurally was backwards. Please respond by Web or mail it’s only once a decade. He’s put in over 80 hours each of the last two weeks and needs more time with my granddaughter. I’ll see if I can post a pic of her on the new board, if not I’ll go with avatar. As my other son said, most newborns are hideous she’s just not so ugly. Ah family, enjoy your Sunday we actually have football this season.

Football HawgBeat Camp Notebook: OL coach out, Burks tidbits, more

Lots of info in here, as always... https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/hawgbeat-camp-notebook-ol-coach-out-burks-tidbits-more

Apologies for getting this up so late. Had to have a guy come out and look at our A/C (think we got the issue resolved) + our 9-month-old is still dealing with an ear infection, so not exactly a fun night at the Hutchinson house.

Also, we should have a ton of content from these interviews and the interviews we get tomorrow over the next few days, especially with no availabilities Wednesday or Thursday. Gotta space stuff out. But if you want, go watch the interviews from tonight. I thought they were pretty informative.

FB Recruiting Rivals Rankings Week: 2021 class heading into final season

Here are the 5-stars, think they're announcing them every 20 minutes if you want to follow along:

Keep your fingers crossed for the dudes on the brink of 4-star status like Javion Hunt, AJ Green, Bryce Stephens, Raheim Sanders. Cole Carson is like 17 spots out from 4-star status in the state of Texas.

I'm thinking I'll go see Solomon Wright on Friday, they're playing at Gravette
