The Grades Are In

Both Chris Bahn of ArkansasSports360.com and Alex Abrams of The Morning News have graded the Hogs' performance ... and, understandably, the results ain't pretty. In fact, the report cards would make Bluto Blutarsky and his Delta frat brothers proud.

Here's a quick overview of Bahn's assessment (click here to get the full grisly details) - Offense: D. Defense: D-. Special Teams: C-. Overall: D. Choice quote: "This could be a really long year for Arkansas. There are problems all over the place and just about the time one liability looks improved, another one springs up."

Abrams breaks it down like this (again, just press here to see his report in full) - Quarterbacks: F. Running Backs: B-. Wide Receivers: C. Offensive Line: D-. Defensive Line: F. Linebackers: D. Secondary: C-. Special Teams: B-. Coaching C-. Choice quote: "Whether it's fair or not, the coach always takes the blame for a loss. Willy Robinson's defense seemed to regress, missing tackles and giving up big plays. And Petrino and offensive coordinator Paul Petrino could never get the offense into a rhythm."

Those seem to be about right to me, sad to say. I think of that Chucky Cheese game where you have the hammer to hammer down the little characters that pop up. As soon as you hammer one thing down, something quickly pops up somewhere else. As soon as the Razorbacks seem to have one thing fixed, something goes wrong somewhere else. What is going to pop up in Austin that we haven’t seen pop up already? Poor waterboy play? haha. Hey, we already have a penalty for a sideline infraction, so maybe we have seen that pop up already? But as we are seeing, that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t pop up again!

On a positive note, how about that Felix Jones? He got another touchdown last night, and the word “Arkansas” was used several times by Al Michaels and company. Did you hear that potential Arkansas recruits? Hey, ignore that Bama game! haha.

It didn’t bother Knile Davis too bad. He was on his official visit to the UofA Saturday, and watched the fallout take place, but that didn’t keep him from commiting to the Hogs on Sunday. He had 4 other officials set up with Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska, and LSU. Verbals aren’t binding, but this is still great news. GO HOGS!!!!!

I suppose the Bama game could always be turned around to recruits as “See how badly we need ya!”

Special teams get a B- and quarterbacks get an F??

What is Abrams smoking?

Who came up with this profoundly stupid idea of assigning letter grades to a football team, anyway?
