Just wanted to add that these guys have been getting every teams BEST and when you play/match to that emotional level on the oppositions home court it is a basic fact that there will be a slump in all aspects of the game for a period of time when you get this situation. The checkmarks for this team......#1 ranking, good chance to win SEC....have been an amazing thing to watch. Mentally those who have watched other conference powerhouses such as Duke understand that it is the preparation for the big dance at the NCAA tourney that is the end goal. I would even go as far as state the NCAA champions over the past 30-40 years have not won their own conference tourney when they are in a strong conference. The SEC is the toughest top to bottom this year even compared to the mighty ACC (basketball of course). This team is special and has that 'feeling' of being in control of the intangibles that you need to win it all. If all we can say for this year is, "We were #1 for the first time and won the national championship" I for one would be on top of the world!

Just my 2 cents worth but if I was making a game plan the first action would be to put Kes into foul trouble early and then shut down the 3 pt game with man to man from beyond the arc. A pedestrian view of course. Our defense is the true strength. I would like to see our guys drive in the paint a bit more.

This team is definitely special. BP pointed out in the post game interview how mentally and physically exhausted the team was from the past 1-2 week schedule. It looked scary for a minute in the game when we could not buy a bucket, Jab had a bit of a cold streak and with Kes in foul trouble but to see the team rally each other to the finish is the 'it' factor for this group. Win or lose, there is no quit in this team!! Arkansas will be a grind but we definitely have the capability for a solid win.

From a civilian point of view I had to give a shout out for Roger McCreary. I feel as though he was significant in keeping the game from getting out of hand. He kept up with the receiver to a degree that he could have been his shadow.

The defense is very disappointing tonight......

I don't usually visit the political forum but decided to glance after reading 'Things I Think I Saw' summary of the game. To see a message like this is disturbing. Would this statement apply to those who refuse to take statins for high cholesterol and end up in the ICU for a stroke? As far as the vaccinations I can see the hesitancy by a large portion of the population after reading news stories such as the FDA voted against boosters for those below the age of 65. Being able to discuss items that are hot button topics are always going to evoke strong emotions but to hope those who are not of your mindset would die is pushing this beyond the extreme. At least we can agree on the statement WarEagle!!

94 yd TD!!!! Great way to have a War Damn Eagle day!

That must have been one heck of a halftime 'discussion' from coach H!!

It is great to see Tank have a bit of patience to find the opening. It is a trait of great running backs.
