Eating Crow

[Liza-Bleu]

After the A&M game I had posted on here how frustrated I was in the program at having been so close to winning but then to have lost not to A&M but to ourselves. STLHawg and I debated back and forth on the matter. He was clear to me that when Arkansas does well I am not on the boards congratulating abut when we are down I am definitely here pointing out those disappointments. I told him then that if Arkansas were to beat Alabama I would come on here to congratulate our team and then eat crow. Well....we didn't win....but you know what? I am eating crow anyway. We dominated that game. We have done something that few have been able to do to Bama and that was keep them at bay for a vast majority of the game. I realize that in the end we didn't get the points on the board as we should have. There were a lot of mistakes that (once again) cost us the game. But isn't that an argument Saban could have made if Bama has lost? My point here is yes I agree with STLHawg, we have indeed made great improvement over last year. In fact I heard it said from sports commentators that Arkansas is the MOST IMPROVED in the nation but the record will not show that. As frustrated as I was at not winning last night...... I did, before the game, have concerns that we would lose pretty badly. But that didn't happen. It turned out different than most predicted, including myself.
I do believe CBB has something going here. You can see it taking form but still missing a few pieces of the puzzle to complete the picture. So despite having not won that game last night I do want to say I am proud of our team and our coaches. They definitely played their hearts out. The fans were the best I have seen them in a long time. It was all there. I do believe it will happen for us.

Oh and one more thing...... our defense.......... WOW!!!

Good post -- it helps a bit with my sour mood. After the game, I was beginning to wonder if this team was going to win another game this season (save the UAB one maybe).

I'm just so tired of losing conference games I guess.

Looks like the wheels have come off...sometimes I don't wanna be right!

I agree. The team quit. No silver lining. Time to move on to basketball.

Too little too late but the silver lining has shown up in the second half.

But does it count against the cheerleaders and waterboys. I don't know, the last 2 games they start like they are too amped up. We are at the point where only the HOGS can beat the HOGS.
