I say 10.

Anyone have an update on him? Sure would be nice to get him back this week

Ian Mathews this morning. The 2021 DE days he talks to coach Leblanc a lot and is interested in learning more about Arkansas.

He doesn’t know much about any schools on his list yet he said he is planning to wait until after the season, likely into 2021 (he plays basketball too), to make his decision.

Big thing I took away from this: Auburn, even at 1-1, is the 5th worst rated team in the country so far.

Is Bush out for Covid or injury?

I’m ecstatic the Hogs won, but, it’s the first conference win since my brother passed due to pancreatic cancer in Aug 2018. It just doesn’t feel the same. We were normally lucky to make 1 game but that year we were going to try and make 3. Got his diagnosis a few weeks before my birthday in early June and passed Mid Aug.

reason why our defenders shouldn't play a little closer to the receivers in their designated areas similar to a match-up-zone in basketball...After watching the replay there were many times we were just satisfied to let their receivers catch the ball (especially on the outside) and then tackle them when we were actually in close enough position to make a play on the ball just like the interceptions we had from errant passes.

Arkansas’ defense had zero penalties.

Zero.

That’s insane.

Is it posted somewhere? Any way to watch it?

With the rather obvious struggles of the B12, especially UT and OU, who depend on Texas HS talent to succeed, what is the deal? I'm not just talking about this season, I'm talking about recent years and especially since the creation of the playoffs. Of the big 3 states for recruits(Tx, Fla, Cal) only Florida HS talent seems to be translating to success in college to match their recruiting hype. At this point, you almost have to consider Texas talent to be a bit overrated to say the least.

I have been hearing the argument for a few years now that Texas HS's are too advanced. Huge well paid staffs, facilities that are the envy of most smaller colleges, and state of the art weight and nutrition programs staffed with well trained personnel. The argument goes that b/c of all of this, many of the HS studs in Texas have less room to grow bigger, faster, and stronger than kids from other states. In other words, Texas recruits come to college with lower ceilings than recruits. They arrive much closer to their peak and thus, do not progress as much as HS players are typically projected.

I don't have any idea, but it makes sense. If true, should programs like ours be more selective down there, look elsewhere more often, or go on as always? Thoughts?

Hop on!

And the lack of game they displayed with the MSU Cheerleaders. I don’t think there was one pre-game selfie taken with a MSU Co-Ed.

Probably out there focused on the game plan like a bunch of amateurs!

I love the guy, but IMO he will get booty raped in the sec. what’s your thought?

and taken out off the game?

30 minutes to kick!!
We’ve had trouble getting the travel roster but like I posted earlier, we believe Coates isn’t there. Should be the biggest name missing

And the last decade has been unprecedented in it's awfulness. The chancellor and AD who shall remain nameless in this post, were the architects of this humiliating turn in my beloved program. I say that to say this, we seem to be turning a corner.

Coach Muss may have been the best coach on the market, and he has the fanbase fired up for good reason. He is a blur of enthusiasm, he would literally coach for free b/c he is a BB junkie, he knows BB on all levels, and he is a people person. The BB program is about to matter again on a national level.

CBB and Chad were disasters. The saving grace of CBB was that he gave coach Pitt and his wife a chance to live here and fall in love with the place. When we hired Chad, I was ticked we didn't hire Norvell, saddened that we had no shot at Herman or Frost, and bewildered at exactly what Chad brought to the table. As it turns out, the other 3 don't look that great either. Shows how easily I am fooled by public opinion.

So this past off season, we get rid of Chad, get snubbed by Norvell, and get left at the altar by Lane Kiffen. We end up with a career OL coach that was here briefly under CBB. We may have struck gold. Nobody that knows Pitt doesn't like him, respect him, and he is the guru of OL coaching. Known as a great recruiter, developer, and evaluator too.

The thing is, history is laden with OL coaches who became great HC's. It is b/c the OL is the most technically difficult position to coach. You must know what everybody else on the O and the D are doing. OL is where football starts. I don't know why Coach Pitt has never been a HC before, but he checks all of the boxes easily. He has been around some of the best programs out there and he has left all of them on his terms. And, as it turns out, he grew up in nearby Grove Ok and always loved the Hogs. When they were here a few years ago, his wife did not want to leave. This is a destination job for him.

Of course, he inherited a record breaking mess the likes of which none of us ever dreamed possible until it happened. The culture of the program is at an all time low. So, two games in, where are we? We gave UGA a good game for 2 1/2 quarters, which considering what they did to AU yesterday is more impressive than I thought. We shut down an offense yesterday that put up huge numbers against a ranked team the week before. In the process, we look well coached and well motivated. Yesterday's win was huge and something Pitt and co. can build on both with the current squad and with recruiting. He is down to earth enough that I believe he will. I am getting excited about FB again.

Oh, and I think we have an AD that knows how to look beyond the flavor of the month picks. That ability served us well for decades.
