The Other Side: Q&A with a Florida beat writer

We’re going to start something new here on the blog. As we advance through the rest of the season, we’re going to ask a beat writer who covers Arkansas’ opponent that week a few questions. We call it “The Other Side.”
From the zany to the serious, we hope to bring in a few more insightful […]

You Pick ‘Em: Florida vs. Arkansas

Take your pick. Is No. 12 Florida going to be another in a long line of opponents to pile it on the Hogs?
Before you give your pick, lets recap the Texas picks from last week. The Hogs and coach Bobby Petrino suffered their worst loss of the season and career, respectively, 52-10. Arkansas allowed seven […]

Did Petrino slip in while Kiffin was sleeping?

Oakland Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin was fired yesterday, prompting a revealing press conference by the Raiders’ owner, Al Davis, yesterday afternoon.
While calling Kiffin a “flat-out liar” and stirrer of propaganda, Davis let out a few other tidbits yesterday. One, for example, was the fact that Kiffin wanted the Arkansas job last December after the […]

Tuesday Notes: Rushing to an answer

Arkansas hasn’t scored in the first quarter this season, and its running game has struggled off and on, especially last Saturday against the Longhorns in a 52-10 loss. Texas’ defense held the Razorbacks’ running game to 11 yards on 26 attempts.

Audio/Notes: Petrino’s Monday press conference

Arkansas head coach Bobby Petrino spoke with the media today for about 18 minutes. He hit on the Hogs’ 52-10 loss to Texas, what the Razorbacks need to do to bounce back against Florida and some of the things that worry him when it comes to recruiting this year.
Here are a couple of notables before […]

It’s a bumpy, not new road for Petrino

When Bobby Petrino started his first season as head coach at Louisville in 2003, there were some bumps and bruises.  There was a new offense, a new defense. There were assignment errors, miscues and, as Petrino said at his press conference today, the Cardinals simply just “struggled.”
But not as much as the Hogs have in […]

Report: Nutt staff expected UA departure in October

The sudden de-commitment of a UA recruit last October may make a bit more sense after reading this. It seems, according to a report in the Kansas City Star, that Houston Nutt’s staff told a high-profile quarterback recruit that they did not expect to be with the Razorbacks in 2008.
Soon after, the recruit, Kale Pick, […]

Tackling Texas: Longhorns a better matchup for UA defense?

Arkansas defensive coordinator Willy Robinson has already heard it, and he wasn’t about to let the media ask the question as soon as he walked up to the microphones and tape recorders this evening.
Yes, he said, Arkansas missed some tackles against Alabama on Saturday, as he started talking before the first question was fired.
