FTB: Hard Times, Spreading Just Like the Flu

This Week From The Bench…
The loud thud that Razorback fans heard on Saturday was the sound of their football program hitting rock bottom. The Hogs have not lost back-to-back games this ugly since Jack Crowe’s first season when the team lost to Texas 49-17 and then followed it up with another huge loss of 62-28 [...]

FTB:Razorbacks May Not Win Another Game All Season

This Week From The Bench…
So it starts. On the always entertaining “Fifth Quarter” call-in show on 103.7 on Saturday after the Razorback embarrassment to Alabama, the hosts brought up the topic of play calling. If you have nothing else to talk about after getting beat 49-14, then why not question the coach’s play calling? It [...]

FTB:Hurricane Should Not Have Canceled Razorback Game in Austin

This Week From The Bench….

I know the rolled-out explanation was for the security of players and fans. Just like that new fire taco at Taco Bell, I don’t buy it. Austin is very far inland from where Ike hit. I believe other motivations were the cause of the postponement, such as fans not showing up [...]

Bye Week Trough

The Horns looked at moving the postponed game to Friday or Dallas before settling on the Sept. 27th date. The Hogs are adjusting to their new schedule. The expats look ahead to Alabama with this awesome hit by Sam Olajubutu from a couple of years ago. Sam is now in the CFL with the Saskatchewan [...]

Hogs-Horns Washed Out

Yeah, that’s Ike’s scheduled track for the weekend. The game has been postponed to Sept. 27th. So the Hogs will face Alabama, Texas, Florida, and Auburn without a break in between. That’s four top 11 teams. Ouch.

FTB:What Game? Tailgating was the Main Event at War Memorial

This Week From The Bench…
Let’s start where the day began. After dire warnings that the War Memorial Golf Course would be a mud pit for the Razorback football game, the predictions did not come to fruition after a deluge from the hurricane-turned-tropical-depression that parked itself over Arkansas. Saturday turned out to be a perfect day [...]

Arkansas-28 ULM-27

Two big notes…The 4 and 1 fake to Michael Smith/bomb to Chris Gragg to the ULM 7-WOW. That’s why you hire Bobby Petrino. Second, Casey Dick just became the first Razorback to post back to back 300+ yard passing games.

FTB:Need to Establish Running Game is Irony In The Extreme

This Week From The Bench…
I don’t know how they do it in Conference USA, but running the ball 13 times a game in the SEC is going to get this Razorback team beat a lot. In this instance, it led to poor clock management against an inferior opponent that had a decent rushing game and [...]
