The new field and surrounding areas are much safer than the old place.

Win two at home against the state of Mississippi. Beat Vandy and NM. 7 wins. Bowl win is 8.

And there you have it.

5:6 wins seems likely at this point unless our offense improves 

 

we are going to be underdogs against LSU, Alabama and maybe ole miss 

 

I think we win two out of three against state arky and Vandy   That puts us at 6-6 and likely in liberty bowl or Birmingham 

independence bowl is lowest after that auburn hasn’t been to Shreveport since the late 90s 

 

talk about boring there is nothing exciting about Shreveport but if an Auburn/UCF matchup is possible in bowl season then it’s likely getting snatched up by liberty or Birmingham

Counter-Point....Auburn will be his new Arkansas and he'll destroy us

At least Memphis has the blues culture. Not sure what the attraction is about Birmingham. Maybe a tour of the waste water treatment plant?

easy now, those waste water treatment plants, or as we call them (water reclamation facilities), pays my families bills

Yeah.  Ratings bonanza, record breaking advertising revenue.

We need to add some of those special freeze-dried bugs to our football team to get them reactivated ( kind of like a reserd strategy). Lol

If only he took other games as serious as Arkansas. He really made it his mission to beat them every year

It also helped that Bielema and Chad Morris were the Arky coaches he thrived against.

I'm sure it's quite the facility.

How much do you charge for a tour?

I'll bring the whole family.

Actually, I used to install septic tanks years ago, but out business went to $h!+. 😁

Gus did lose to a Bielema coached arky team though

Maybe the Mass Exodus Bowl is less harsh??  They can put on a clinic on how to run to population out of town lol.

They shouldn't have fired Bobby (even if I was selfishly hoping they would because I knew if would make them much easier to beat lol).

I remember in 2008, Legion Field hosted The Papa John's Bowl. 

What was so ironic about this bowl was that Papa John's didn't deliver to the area of town where Legion Field was located.

The reason was because so many delivery drivers were robbed around that area through the years so Papa John's cut out deliveries to that area altogether. 

I don't know if Papa John's delivers to that area now or not but back in 2008 they weren't.

I’m holding out for the Music City Bowl.  We want Purdue!

[Gowebb11 9,428]

Our Bowl opponent will almost certainly be Colorado. 

[BigBlueWDE 1,136]

We are 3-2, which is exactly what most of us expected.

We played worse against Cal and aTm than I expected, but better against UGA than I expected. 

We have a chance to be ahead of schedule with a night victory in Baton Rouge.

Forfeit the meaningless bowl game and focus on recruiting.

I use K-Ford rankings as my baseline and Auburn would be a 10-point favorite against Colorado on a neutral field.

Need the extra practices. Usually consider ed extremely valuable.

Or play the bowl and let the players have fun while also recruiting. This staff can do both.

I will look K-Ford up. I would agree with that spread right now. I feel like by seasons end we will improve more than they will too. It would just be the most ESPN thing to pair us up and play up the narrative that we passed on DS and shouldn’t have. 😅

Forfeiting a football game will do wonders for recruiting.

As weird as it sounds, could have higher ratings than the major bowls.
