They are my team

As bad as it is, I cannot talk down to or bash them. They have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have seen them play for championships, and through these dark days. I guess for me its like watching my family fail. I hurt with them, and I get frustrated with them, but I don"t trash them. They are my team, and I love them. Today I hurt with them

When we get it turned around it will be that much sweeter.

Amen. I feel terrible for the players who are Razorbacks born and raised as they get trashed by our fan base. Must be an awful feeling.

#3

Amen brother. Great post. Exactly my sentiments.

#4

My thoughts exactly!

#5

Let me be clear…they are my team too! I watched the whole game and I feel bad for the players. They don’t deserve this. They deserve better from the coach and his staff. I am for the kids, but not the coach.

#6

We get it

#7

YES!

#8

Let it go, dude. We know how you feel about the coach. Maybe you’re right & maybe you’re wrong. We won’t & shouldn’t change coaches after this game or this year. We made the hire. It doesn’t matter if you like him or not, the program needs the chance to improve. It’s not just the coach who needs the chance. It’s the program. The worst thing the program can do is become a revolving door for coaches. You have no idea how any other coach we might have hired would have done this year.

#9

Neither you nor I nor anyone knows how much the head coach or staff is to blame for this. Them vs. the big man in the windbreaker. You have zero information. You just speculate. I agree it seems he did a terrible job today. But we have no idea right now what is actually causing this and whether he will ultimately be successful here. The “I told you so” crap is way too premature and really shows you aren’t nearly as smart as you think.

Absolutely! I love the hogs! Win or lose. I didn’t expect this start to the season, but I am a hog fan regardless.
I’m disappointed and frustrated. I am, however, a Razorback regardless.
If I can’t be at the game, I’ll watch the game. If I can’t watch, I’ll be listening. I LOVE AND SUPPORT THE RAZORBACKS! PERIOD!!!

#11

I will always support this team. GHG

#12

Please dont hijack this thread. We all hurt tonight.

#13

I’m taking a deep breath on this one

I saw nothing that earned my loyalty or supported hope in the future

Hope I feel better in the morning

This team gave up

#14

I hate to blame Bret. I supported him until the final few games last year. But this depleted roster isn’t Chad Morris’ fault. Its not his fault that we have maybe the worst offensive line I’ve seen at Arkansas.

And QB? Wow. One thing for sure. Ty Storey and Cole Kelly are done at Arkansas. Especially Ty. Not saying i agree or disagree. But I’m not sure if that message could have been any louder. Cole plays horrifically bad…and Ty doesn’t go in. That is a message. Its Connor’s team now. At least until next year.

I am totally embarrassed to head back to Charleston SC. OMG. My friends there are literally salivating.North Texas? Are you KIDDING ME? I can hear it now. Oh well. I’m a big boy. It didn’t hurt me nearly like the kids or the staff.

And yes…they are my team too. Part of the fabric of my life. 55 years. I’ll be watching again next week. Just to see some development. I hope.

In the words of Larry Johnson…Coach you better get some men

#17

I thought about the same incident

Coach Richardson when got some “Men” after that UNLV loss

With all due respect, we all love our Razorbacks.

I believe like me it’s part of all of our DNA.

But after these lesser years we don’t have the luxury of watching this current debacle and debating who is a better fan.

This is a time to decide whether we have leadership in place to have program at the top or whethe this is yet another experiment in hope post Petrino.

We don’t need to call our fans who might question whether a mid d 1 coach with little success can come anywhere close to an SEC title.

Or criticize those who want success as lesser fans because they question Direction.

As a 45 year fan I saw no hope at all today.

Call me a bad fan if you must for being tired of loving a completely irrelevant program.

But that’s what we are.

Completely irrelevant.

No major program that looks like this would not have serious questions and answers for a fan base.

I for one believe this season’s performance is unacceptable so far.

This coaching staff inherited little talent.

But our task is determine whether we have in place what it takes to overcome.

Unfortunately I did not see that today.

Please don’t say I’m not a fan deserving to be very very concerned.

Kansas has already won 2 games this year. I think its safe to say that we are the worst team in Power 5 football, wait I forgot about Rutgers, we may be better than them. Kansas beat them 55-14 today.

#20

With all due respect…in this thread nobody called out other fans for how they feel or got questioning you (or anyone) being concerned. It was a simple statement of how a few of us feel about the Razorbacks. uncleham nailed it for me. But you have every right to your opinion too.
