2017 HA’s 4th Annual Hog Call 8/30/2017

Hawg Lounge
#41

Probably a bit more heart in my prediction than there should be, but I think the OL grows up, young WRs show out and AA utilizes a stable of RBs mixed with an efficient passing attack to eat up clock and put points on the board… and that will help the D, which will be improved (has to be) but still lacks depth in front 7.

I’m thinking 9-3… Alabama, LSU and Auburn look look like losses, but maybe we sneak in an upset… I think we should be even or favored in the other 9, but surprises can happen. Maybe the good and bad surprises will even out.

Ranking with 3 losses is likely in the teens and will depend on how we looked in the losses (bad surprises hurt). I’ll go with #15.

AA should build on his performance last year. It was his first year to play and his OL was inferior yet he put up some impressive numbers. Not only will he improve, but the OL will give him more time and a consistent running attack. This could be fun to watch… 32 TDs.

I sure hope General hog wins this!
What a year would that be

#44

9-3, #17, 31 TDs

A little more optimistic than probably should be. If 4-0 going to South Carolina, got a shot at this. If not, 8-4 is probably as good as it can get. Never entered before, so here goes nothing …

Week 1 and no one was eliminated. Off to good start. Last year we made it until week 6 before first person was eliminated.

#49

Last night’s game was enjoyable. But, I could not stop thinking how much money the U of A was losing, playing this game in Little Rock. Next year, contractually they must play a conference game in War Memorial Stadium. DR Razorback Stadium’s renovation will be complete, upping capacity to 77,000. I realize that there is a lo of sentimentality here. But, this is about practicality! Not to mention what’s best for the team. Come on Long! Pull the plug!

#50

I will be very happy if I’m the first one eliminated in week 6 this year.

#51

THANK YOU!!! I understand Little Rock games are big deal to people in Central and South Arkansas and I also understand people have sentimental values with that stadium. The thing is though, CBB doesn’t enjoy playing there, the atmospheres are AWFUL (the attendance was one of the lowest ever). Its absolute ludacris to keep that game there, they lose a week of recruiting AND not to mention the profit difference (which will grow even larger next year).

#52

Just move all home games back to the hill and the game at Jerry’s world too!

#53

I think we all will be, but if you are the not the first to be eliminated, then you will be the 2017 Hog Call Champion, CBB would most likely be fired about the same time.

#54

Hawgs move into Top 40 of AP Coaches Poll (Ranked #32 after week 1).

Beat TCU #26; and Hawgs will rise to Top 25. A&M is not ranked; so 3 - 0 is achievable.

Others Receiving Votes

26 TCU 80;
27 Colorado 78;
28 Maryland 60;
29 West Virginia 56;
30 UCLA 47;
31 Oregon 42;
32 Arkansas 37;

The rest: Boise State 36; Nebraska 30; Mississippi State 28; Memphis 21; Pittsburgh 19; Northwestern 15; San Diego State 12; North Carolina State 9; Iowa 8; South Carolina 8; Minnesota 6; Kentucky 6; California 5; Navy 5; Syracuse 4; Texas 3; Vanderbilt 3; Central Florida 3; Arizona 3; Houston 3; Army 2; Georgia Tech 1

#55

Are you going by the AP or the Coaches’ Poll. In the AP poll, TCU is No. 23 and Arkansas is not ranked or even receiving votes, from what I see. What you have listed is others receiving votes in the Coaches’ poll. You referenced both, but wasn’t sure the one you were going by.

#56

My Prediction for TCU game!

It’s Game time ladies and gents!

Depth, depth, and more depth!

 The Hogs will and should play to their strengths with the "ground n pound" ball control style football that will allow Austin Allen to manage the game while playing to his strengths when and only when he has to...keys to victory will be the running back depth, Play Action pass game, Special teams play, and athletic tight ends. All 4 keys will be huge factors in keeping TCU's offense off the field as well as our Quarterback off the turf. TCU likes to play fast and they will gain yardage with the passing game exposing our secondary all game long. Hogs are confident and matches each offensive score blow for blow with theach hog's "3 headed running monster machine" that will replicate some of coach BB's better offenses during his successful tenure with Wisconsin. This will be a Nationally televised home game throw down. It's sure to be a high-scoring-shoot-out-thriller of a game showcasing two very opposite style offensive teams. The outcome will be about which offense can wear the other team down.

Personally, I believe Austin Allen doesn’t have to out play himself and he throws an all most perfect well managed ball game… Two passing TDs and zero interceptions.

Final out come UA 54 TCU 49. Hog need a TD late in the 4th qtr to pull this one out… Who other than freshman sensation running back CHASE HAYDEN with the most perfect block i’ll have ever seen, giving Austin Allen just enough time to find wide a Open Tight End in the endzone for the 8 yard game winning touchdown pass leaving TCU only 39 seconds on the clock and down by 5…
Special teams comes through for the Hogs pinning the Horned Frogs Deep in their own territory. Time runs out and HOGS prevail with a huge Home win over a nationally ranked team. 2-0 start to the year, national exposure leading to being ranked #24th in the polls by Tuesday!

4 field goals in the game… special teams becoming a strength for Hogs!
4 Running TD’s 4 rbs combine for 372 yards… two 100 yard rushers emerge in this game!
2 Passing TD including game winning pass. 229 passing yards
Defense gets just enough stops! We need secondary help

Just a fun prediction I hope pans out. WPS

SoArkHog,

You are correct. The rules call for rankings from the AP Poll. If season were over Hogs final rank would be 41 or worse per the rules. I don’t know which was it, me trying to cheat, or me just not being accepted to that we are not in Top 40 after what I thought was good win. Regardless I made a mistake and appreciate you calling it out. :sunglasses:

We will be in Top 40 after today. Hogs 41 TCU 31 :!:

HA

#58

Man, I really hope you’re correct.

Edit: By the way if you’re superstitious Corso picked us. Will the Corso curse live?

#59

I just think there is too much at stake. Must win game for CBB.

#60

Great post.
