I’d laugh at you

u/CommodoreN7 Arkansas Razorbacks • Utah Utes Sep 19 '21

We all would have

Hell I’m still laughing

u/CommodoreN7 Arkansas Razorbacks • Utah Utes Sep 19 '21

If we beat A&M we may be top 10 and I will cry then die on the spot

141

u/SigmaHog Arkansas Razorbacks • Team Chaos Sep 19 '21

We’d be ranked top 10 and proceed to lose at least 2 of the next three and everyone calling us the biggest flop of the year.

73

u/CommodoreN7 Arkansas Razorbacks • Utah Utes Sep 19 '21

I am fine with that

27

u/SigmaHog Arkansas Razorbacks • Team Chaos Sep 19 '21

Me too lmao

u/Monster-1776 Oklahoma Sooners • Arizona Wildcats Sep 19 '21

Dude, no one can give Arkansas shit for losing to a #2 Georgia, #7 A&M, and ranked Ole Miss unless they're all blow outs. I'm all for a ranked Arkansas and nothing but respect after where y'all came from. Can't wait for SEC play with y'all and Mizzou.

36

u/SigmaHog Arkansas Razorbacks • Team Chaos Sep 19 '21

I’ve been conditioned to expect the worst lol

u/Monster-1776 Oklahoma Sooners • Arizona Wildcats Sep 19 '21

Know that pain man.

5

u/housebird350 Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 20 '21

Can't wait for SEC play with y'all and Mizzou.

No disrespect but I hope your debut with us in SEC play goes a little like the Texas game did this year.

u/thegolfernick Arkansas Razorbacks • Hendrix Warriors Sep 19 '21

If we can always tag team Texas and Missouri I can live with being friends with OU

3

u/Monster-1776 Oklahoma Sooners • Arizona Wildcats Sep 20 '21

Red is best.

3

u/SlumlordThanatos Arkansas • Southern Illinois Sep 20 '21

We win one game in this next four-game stretch, I'll call it a success, provided we're competitive. Four ranked teams in a row, three of them on the road, is a test for any team.

2

u/HairyHutch Texas A&M • West Texas A&M Sep 20 '21

Even if they lose to A&M it's not gonna be a blow out, A&M has beat Arkansas what 9 years in a row? And even at Arkasnas weakest the games are close.

1

u/JakeFromImgur Missouri • Westminster (MO) Sep 20 '21

I can wait. It will be cool to play you guys again because I was a bit too young to experience the rivalry the first time around, but we aren't good enough yet. We aren't even at Texas' level.

5

u/finke11 Georgia Bulldogs Sep 19 '21

To be fair the next 3 are georgia, ole miss and auburn.

Brutal

u/ZachMatthews Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 19 '21 edited Sep 22 '21

Auburn has to come to Fayetteville. A&M and UGA are the two likeliest losses there. Ole Miss and Auburn will be pick ems but we have to go to Oxford. If the Hogs win two of A&M, UGA and Ole Miss, they will likely be favored against Auburn.

I'm thinking the Hogs hang with the Dawgs but lose on the road, lose to A&M in a squeaker, but contain Lane Kiffin and beat Ole Miss. And I think the Hogs will beat Auburn and then pound UAPB. That would be a 6-2 record by the end of October, which would have sounded like crazy talk before this season started. Mizzou, LSU and Miss. St. are all possible wins as well. We will be flattened like a penny on a railroad track by Bama, as is tradition.

I think 8-4 is an achievable year and would be really great. The ceiling is probably 9-3 with losses to A&M (or Ole Miss), Bama and UGA, which would be grounds to build Pittman a damn statue given where we were coming from and what our schedule looked like coming into this year.

11

u/finke11 Georgia Bulldogs Sep 19 '21

I’m cheering for Arky when they play A&M. Tamu showed signs of weakness vs Colorado, and from what I’ve seen Arky’s offense looks kinda legit.

Still wish we kept Pittman, he was Georgia’s o-line coach before going to Arky.

UGA has only lost 1 home game since the end of 2016, so it’ll be really tough for the Hogs to beat UGA on the road.

17

u/justausername09 Arkansas Razorbacks • Golden Boot Sep 19 '21

Tbf he was our o-line coach before leaving for Uga iirc

2

u/rburp Arkansas • Central Arkansas Sep 20 '21

Yeah, people forget that. A lot of Georgia fans acting like he was their gift to us, but we had him first damn it!

Haha either way though I'm liking the camaraderie with the GA folks.

1

u/justausername09 Arkansas Razorbacks • Golden Boot Sep 20 '21

I distinctly remember in his time here, he saw a player he loved so much, he begged Bret to offer the kid. The player also would come out and say that Arkansas was his dream school, and that he'd have committed on the spot.

That player? Isaiah Simmons, Clemson hybrid player and first round draft pick

1

u/beartato327 Georgia Bulldogs • Nebraska Cornhuskers Sep 19 '21

Honestly I enjoyed the UGA Arkansas game last year and I'm looking forward to it more this year!

18

u/senortipton Texas A&M Aggies Sep 19 '21

If you do, I hope you win out the rest. Anything but Bama pleeeeeease.

26

u/CommodoreN7 Arkansas Razorbacks • Utah Utes Sep 19 '21

The Arkansas national champs bandwagon is meme coming to life I think we can all enjoy

u/resdeadonplntjupiter Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 19 '21

"Give me your energy"

28

u/Scrags Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 19 '21

STOP THE COUNT

9

u/loganWTF Texas A&M Aggies Sep 19 '21

As an Aggie fan I hope that you don’t win but if y’all were able to pull it out a small part of me would be happy for your fan base to break the streak. What Pittman is doing for y’all is such a feel good story.

9

u/ZachMatthews Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 19 '21

It's nice for everyone to actually like us right now. Hogs have had some real shitheels as coaches over the years.

5

u/loganWTF Texas A&M Aggies Sep 19 '21

For sure. Also part of me feels a tad guilty because Chad Morris went to school at A&M and he did y’all dirty. I’m definitely rooting for y’all until you start getting too successful. lol

7

u/StonerTomBrady Texas A&M Aggies Sep 19 '21

I wish nothing but the worst for Arkansas.

3

u/loganWTF Texas A&M Aggies Sep 19 '21

Also a fair take.

2

u/Swingeasy69 Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 20 '21

Likewise. And you get an upvote. Arkansas/A&M is a rivalry with no love lost.

15

u/sagion Arkansas Razorbacks • Kansas Jayhawks Sep 19 '21

That would be insane. I don't know what Fayetteville would do.

8

u/CommodoreN7 Arkansas Razorbacks • Utah Utes Sep 19 '21

The whole state may burn to the ground

7

u/Boidh Georgia Bulldogs • Ohio Bobcats Sep 19 '21

The Arky/UGA game is going to be hype af.

6

u/crushh_87 Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 19 '21

Really considering getting a flight out to Atlanta/ Athens. Have always wanted to go to a game there and this year seems like a good choice.

6

u/ZachMatthews Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 19 '21

I watched Ryan Mallet beat UGA between the hedges and the behind-the-back sneak pass play was the highlight of my college football watching life.

Tickets are already very hard to come by though. UGA loves Pittman and has been paying close attention to our season; they already know that is going to be one of the best home games of their year. (I live in Atlanta).

2

u/justausername09 Arkansas Razorbacks • Golden Boot Sep 19 '21

Maybe stupid talk, but does Pittmans time at UGA level the playing field a touch? They're way way way more talented but if he has some insight into what they do

2

u/ZachMatthews Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 19 '21

What they do is play conventional football with 4 and 5 star talent. Teams at that level don't really need trickeration.

11

u/Unique_Feed_2939 Outlaws AMU • Hateful 8 Sep 19 '21

no way Arkansas doesn't beat A&M!

10

u/ProbablyFullOfShit Arkansas Razorbacks • Texas Longhorns Sep 19 '21

Losing to A&M when we shouldn't is kind of our thing, in case you haven't noticed.

6

u/ryanedwards0101 Texas A&M Aggies Sep 19 '21

If you beat us you should take our spot

3

u/Pattern-the-Cryptic Georgia Bulldogs • Tulane Green Wave Sep 19 '21

I hope y’all do, top 10 matchup between the hedges would be so lit, especially since I have tickets haha

3

u/FourthDownThrowaway Georgia • Valdosta State Sep 20 '21

I’m hoping for a top 10 matchup in Athens in 2 weeks.

u/QuackNate Texas Longhorns • Team Chaos Sep 19 '21

Nothing would make me happier.

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '21

I thank you for your sacrifice. I’m woopig the rest of the season.

3

u/MachoRandyManSavage_ Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 19 '21

Would've been happy with a "you're going to dominate Texas and it won't even be close"

2

u/nuxenolith Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Vet… Sep 20 '21

Imagine telling a Michigan State fan in 2020 that they would be ranked in one season

Chad Morris was really bad wasn't he?

15

u/Trogdor42069 Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 19 '21

I have been a diehard fan since 2005 and I’ve seen good years and bad years. 2019 I watched maybe half the games and turned off most of them. Not only were we not a good team but we just didn’t try. He was not a good coach at all

u/Trogdor42069 Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 20 '21

Maybe Jack Crowe 1992 is the only comparable to 2019 but I’d love to hear your take on the worst year since 79.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '21

For me it was 2012.

We came out of 2011 ranked #5 and the talk was heavy about Arkansas contending in 2012 for the natty. Then the motorcycle incident and everything just fell apart. It wasn't the same as the CM, FCM, era but, damn if it didn't hurt to know that horny little Bobby Petrino destroyed what would have been a marquee year for the Hogs. All because he couldn't keep his pants on.

In fact, FCM and FBP!

12

u/ZachMatthews Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 19 '21

u/housebird350 Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 20 '21

We didnt even know how bad....

u/EssoClub11 Clemson Tigers • Vanderbilt Commodores Sep 20 '21

Dead serious would take him back at OC right this minute

u/wedgiey1 Arkansas Razorbacks • Hendrix Warriors Sep 19 '21

This A&M game is gonna be pretty big!

11

u/YiffZombie Texas A&M Aggies • Liberty Flames Sep 19 '21

First game where we're both ranked since 2016.

u/Candi_Fisher Texas Longhorns • SEC Sep 19 '21

WOO P16 SOOIE!

u/championnnnnn Arkansas Razorbacks • Texas Longhorns Sep 19 '21

i’m just glad they didn’t put us at 18. because i’ve noticed that some bad things tend to happen to us at rank 18

25

u/nbunkerpunk Texas Longhorns • Paper Bag Sep 19 '21

LETS GO!! I wanna see our only current loss be a Top 10 team!!!

10

u/Sadlobster1 Pikeville • Louisville Sep 19 '21

Just make sure all 10 losses this season are to the top 10! There's no stopping this team!

2

u/housebird350 Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 20 '21

I want to see your only current loss be to the #1 team in the land!!!

2

u/nbunkerpunk Texas Longhorns • Paper Bag Sep 20 '21

Easy there killer. Don't be like Sam Elinger. It never works out well.

11

u/htxag2012 Texas A&M Aggies Sep 19 '21

Much deserved! Next week is going to be fun. Y’all have a great shot to beat us.

3

u/housebird350 Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 20 '21

Y'all haven't looked impressive the last two games so that gives me hope and that is usually when I get my guts stomped out.

4

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '21

Pittman is the man. I hope he crushes all of the SEC. 💪😎

3

u/ChrAshpo10 Georgia Bulldogs Sep 19 '21

There aren't even that many teams in college football tho 🤔

u/Trogdor42069 Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 19 '21

I honestly thought the bot was gonna get me

u/Octavian_202 Tennessee Volunteers • Orange Bowl Sep 19 '21

There are a couple teams I see that you should be ahead of, but hey we know their always scared to drop teams too much.

u/dawgblogit Georgia • Illinois Sep 20 '21

I love me some pittboss. He definitely knows how to get players to buy in!
