Bakedhog19741,

I have to disagree with any talk that this team has the ability to win 4 of its final 5 games. Seriously, what have you seen to suggest such a thing?
They can’t win a road game much less a home game against Florida A&M and NMST.
This team will finish no better than 4-8 and that’s if they can even beat Missouri to end the season and I have my doubts about that game because Missouri can score and we can’t.
Plus, we just lost our only legitimate D1 O-Lineman in Ragnow.

As for next season, if major development doesn’t happen then we will start the season 2-4. If we resemble this team next season we will get beat at Colorado State without a doubt and if you take a look at the history of Hog vs Wildcats since joining the SEC they actually lead the series. So, while the backend of next years schedule should be soft most years, when those teams see the Hogs on their schedule they think the same thing you’re suggesting - a game they can win.

I don’t see anything that suggests we could be any better than 6-6 next season.

I base it off of actually watching games. I don’t watch Arkansas and Dallas (my two favorite teams) and no other teams. I try to watch every game that’s on. Every team has issues. Yes, I posted that before I saw Ragnow was out, but doesn’t change the FACT, that Ole Miss lost their QB. Coastal isn’t a good team. Missery is awful. In my opinion Bret only has to win five. Next year’s schedule is weak whether you think so or not. 6 is a guarantee. Nine should be expected.

However, a loss to a Shea less Ole Miss, a loss to Coastal Carolina, or a loss to Missery, and I won’t argue the Bret should be fired statement. However, if he doesn’t win nine next year, or the new coach doesn’t win nine next year, the Long should be fired with cause and forfeit their buyouts, immediately

And how about our #1 QB riding the pine? Has that suddenly increased your confidence level facing Ole Miss on the road? I’m not sure we can win with AA but doubt we can with Kelley.

I haven’t seen AA ruled out yet. I still think we have a better chance at beating Ole Miss with Kelley that they have beating us with Ta’amu

Bakedhog19741,

I would like for you to show me the six given wins that you see on next seasons schedule?
I believe you are of the mindset that the Hogs are going to be a good team next year because they are equally “awful” as you think Missouri is this year.
Let’s just say they do win all of the non-conference games that’s four wins, I guess you think they will beat both Vandy and Ole Miss at home that’s six wins, where do you see the other 3 wins as you are predicting for 9 wins?
Home games:
Alabama, loss
LSU, loss

Neutral site game:
Texas A&M, Loss

Road games:
MSST, loss
Missouri, Maybe

I don’t see any path for 9 wins next season, but I’ll have whatever you’re drinking.
Like I said, if next years team resembles this years squad there are only a few certain wins and all others such as Colorado State is a toss up game along with Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and Missouri.

We are just as bad as Missouri, maybe even worse because they can at least block well enough to put points on the scoreboard and they will score against our defense.
FYI, Colorado State played at Alabama in week four this season and played them much better than we did, lost 41-23.

It would make no difference as long as CBB still here.
Might as well fire all the coaches (save some $$$) and let CBB coaches everything, the result would be the same !!!

CBB is gone folks…his staff have agents reaching out to other teams, these guys see the writing on the wall. We as Razorback fans need to move on.
Long won’t be far behind just as soon as the wealthy clamp down on the building projects.
