  1. Don't let "Motor" beat you. If we can keep him in check early, and stay even on turnovers we got a shot.
  2. ...and it doesn't look like they will land Mahlzan from Auburn. ----------------------------- Interim Athletics Director Julie Cromer Peoples said DHR International was brought on to help with the football coaching search last weekend. Cromer Peoples delivered a termination letter to Bielema following the Razorbacks' 48-45 loss to Missouri last Friday night and met with assistant coaches the following morning. On the night of Bielema's firing, Cromer Peoples said there would not "be a formal search committee for the process." It is believed to be the first time a search firm has been used to hire an Arkansas football coach. "With the number of vacant coaching positions in our league and around the nation, it is important that we move forward expeditiously and efficiently in finding the next head football coach for the Arkansas Razorbacks," Cromer Peoples said in a statement. According to the university, private funds are being used to pay for both search firms. The UA will pay Korn Ferry $75,000 to conduct the vetting process, but the cost paid by the Razorback Foundation to DHR International is not yet known. Oregon State is paying DHR International up to $200,000 to help fill its vacant head coaching position, according to The Oregonian. According to its website, DHR International is one of the world's five largest search firms. The company's sports division includes former Wisconsin Athletics Director Pat Richter and Glenn Sugiyama, a former board of directors member of the Chicago Bulls and former assistant basketball coach at Eastern Michigan who Forbes magazine called "one of the most influential men in college athletics" in 2012. DHR International's 2016 coaching searches resulted in North Texas hiring Seth Littrell and Toledo hiring Jason Candle, according to CBS. Both coaches will coach in conference championship games this weekend. read more: http://www.wholehogsports.com/news/2017/nov/28/ua-hires-search-firms-ad-football-coach-searches/
  3. Here's another valid thought that was shared with me from a fan... This is one of our best teams we have had and it has been an awesome season BUT, are we ready to take on a p5 like Texas Tech, K-State or Texas? Sure the atmosphere and crowd would be amazing... but aren't we still a couple years away from being a p5 killer? What if they lay 60 on us like FAU did? I am talking specifically about the lines, front seven, depth... we need to recruit our ass off in those areas. Recruiting would be easier with a 10-win squad that just won a bowl game. I understand that some are disappointed but I ask that you look at the long term picture here. Believe me, if Wren and Seth etc felt that taking on a p5 team at this point in the rebuild was in our best interest I imaging they would be doing everything in their power to make that happen.
  4. Just a reminder, Troy beat LSU this season and is 9-2 heading into the Belt championship game against Ark State. This will not be an easy game folks.
  5. McMurphy has updated his projections to show us playing Troy University in the New Orleans Bowl.
  6. Of those I would bet it is Arky State as they will bring more fans.
  7. Positives: 1). Great trip for the players, awesome town to party in for the fans. Believe me, I've been 4 times. It's a blast. 2). Saturday game means more fans can get to game; don't have to miss work 3). Earlier start date means we will be one of the first games people can watch after the season 4). You can get really good deals on nice hotels as it is a slow time of the season 5). Easy cheap flight in on SWA or you can even drive
  8. New Orleans is a blast people! This is great news. GMG!
  9. @TheColonyEagle that post was spot on!
  10. The University of North Texas’ Kuehne Speaker Series has raised a record $332,000 as a result of its most recent event in October featuring Donald Trump Jr. at AT&T Stadium. View Full Article
  11. Great player he was. Sad.
  12. Agree. The argument I have heard is how bad SMU was when he got there and how tough the AAC is yada yada. Hey look they kicked our butt so I give the guy props but has he been a game changer at SMU? No.
