I wonder what the crowd will be like this weekend, considering its a night game? Also in my opinion, If we beat Auburn this weekend , I can see that being the last straw for Gus… So could this weekend, be a win win for us in the case , we beat Auburn and Gus is the new coach of Arkansas next year :shock:
I somewhat agree, but the key word is finish the season strong, to do that he will have to play his best players instead of guys, he thinks deserves a chance…
Arkansas has sold lots of tickets, Auburn is bringing lots of people.
So I would say 72,000 announced and 60,000-65,000 actually in the stands.
As for Arkansas beating Auburn and it ending up with the Gus Bus traveling to Fayetteville to become head coach, I would say that outcome would more likely solidify the job of the guy already here
Yea, with weather looking great, night game and Gus rolling into town, you would expect a pretty good turnout; however, if Hogs lose this one or worse case get blown out, i am sure the next 3 home games attendance will not be good
I don’t think we’ll beat Auburn, but I have better hopes for it than I had about beating Bama. I could see Gus getting fired at the end of this season if he finishes 8-4, a very real possibility. 7-5 or worse? He’s lost two with still TAMU, UGA & Alabama left to play. He could lose all three of those (A&M is at College Station). If he loses to us–well, it’d get really ugly on the plains.
I hope he is gone after this year. Maybe he could wind up at Kansas
or Texas Tech. I think he would be a better fit in that conference.
If TT had a defense even close to Auburn, they would be in the top ten.
He and TT’s arrogant coach are cut from the same cloth.
I agree. This entire give him another year thing is insane. It would just be furthering the inevitable. He’s shown some real lack of competency in his coaching, 0-17 when down at half, not sure what the record is but I know his record in games decided by 1 possession is also abysmal. That’s bad coaching. How quickly the story changes with him drives me nuts. Pointing out that the team is young… no not really actually, we have 1 true freshman starting. Some young receivers and a young qb, they all played well last week. The OL we saw this past weekend was full of guys who have been in the program atleast 3 years.
It’s time to begin the search and salvage what we can of this recruiting class, im sure we will have a decommitment or two, but I’d rather take a hit on this small class than next years class. The 2019 looks like a potentially great instate class.
If that’s your reasoning, than I stand by my statement of I can’t see it. Sure they can win… but it’s highly, highly unlikely just as the rare upsets you mentioned.
I can’t go to the game, and I cannot sell my tickets via the HI ticket exchange, nor have I found Ark or Auburn fans around here that are coming that could use my tickets. I’d think the crowd will be smaller than usual. Nice weather, tho.
