Did you hear why that happened? Arky was ahead late in the 4th. On the aggies final drive, the Arkansas staff decided to put in all second string players on the defensive line, because the starting players appeared tired and a little banged up, so they thought putting in the second string players would be better because they were fresh. It was a dumb mistake. By the time they realized what was going on, they had no time outs left to bring the starters back. It was a dumb decision. If not for that, they would have won. And Oklahoma State they dominated and then threw the game away on a couple of turn overs. They easily could have beaten Oklahoma State and Texas AM and be 5 - 0 right now.

Our opponents need quality depth on their DL in order to have a chance at stopping our run game. Oklahoma had one of the best one of the best DLs we'll see. They did a good job, but didn't stop it

I'm actually kind of surprised there isn't more vitriol on their boards towards us.

Maybe it exists mostly/only on Twitter (it's where I've seen it), but there is a larger-than-you-might-expect amount of hate they direct at Tennessee fans since we've gotten good at baseball. They do this weird gatekeeping thing ("Tennessee fans aren't real baseball fans because they've only been watching since they got good. We've been good for a long time and I've been watching for years!!!") plus some are salty that Tony V came from Arky. Most of it is limited to tweets dealing with baseball, but occasionally they'll drive by football or basketball tweets posted by people and take a dump in there too.

I don't think Arkansas will be able to stop the run game at all. If they manage to stop the run game, they won't be able to stop the passing game for sure.

Guys I realize he picked us to win and cover but the point is he didn’t sound confident in it. I’m just tired of everyone constantly moving the goalposts on TN.

Pickell on On3 did something similar. Picked us to win but before that went on and on about how Arkansas could win it. I’m glad. Let them keep questioning our boys. People blow smoke on this team but they don’t really respect us. The Big Orange are going to have to go out there and make them.

Arkansas has yet to be blown out. 2 extremely close loses. This game is also at home. They should have more faith in their team. Doubt we just go in there and beat them by 50 like they think.

Arky also struggled to beat UAB at home. That game was tied at half and wasn't decided until halfway in the 4th. UAB is 1-3.

Okay? I’m not saying we’re going to lose. But they went on the road to OK State and they took them to OT and should have beaten them. They aren’t nearly as bad as their fans are saying. I expect a 14-17 point win, but I’m not sure a beat down is going to happen. Playing on the road at night is hard.

I read it but the word dishonorable is too far. We all signed that blank check. Doesn't matter what service you are in. Doesn't matter how he looks at your service. But you do you and have a good day.

Make sure VFL82 and ole Vance understand that.
Sneaking in that nudge-nudge, wink, wink stuff doesn't have enough stealth to go unnoticed.
Seriously, that stuff doesn't belong here, but folks do sneak it in just the same. I wish they wouldn't.

For a team that has been in every game till the last minute they are awfully defeated. I'm a little surprised to be honest.

One of my best friends is a Razorback fan and after last season a full bout of apathy set in. They have struggled for so long and they are in the mindset we were in going into Butchs last season. I hate it for them because Pittman is way more likeable than Butcah ever was and that can make it really hard on a fanbase. It's like wanting to break up with someone who you know is madly in love with you.

Wow I am shocked to see those comments from them. I’ve been more worried about this game than I was for Oklahoma since the start of the season just because I think they are a more challenging offense than oklahomas. Hopefully it goes exactly like they think.

I’m more concerned than vs Okla cause Ark has a better Qb than OU.
