2010 Spring Red and White game

That's right friends! It was here before you knew it. The Arkansas Spring Red & White game. Jennifer and I went once again and had a blast as usual.

Here they come! Running through the "A" is an exciting part of the pre-game show.

There was actually a nice crowd today.

And the other side of the field. They esitmated 30,000 people! I thought was kind of a stretch but when I got up to get us a drink, I noticed that the lower and upper endzone charback seats were absolutely FULL!

...until the rain hit. The crowds started to thin out a little then.

Other than being rained on the second half of the game, it was a pretty fun day. WOO PIG SOOIE!!!

February 5, 2010 update

So the 2010 Signing day has come and gone. Yet again, the SEC leads all other conferences at getting the most ESPNU 150 top recruits. The SEC led and ended up with eight Top 25 Classes. Unfortunately, Arkansas didn’t have a top 25 class. They were in the mid 30’s-40’s which isn’t impressive, until you understand what kind of players they recruited.

The coaches this year said the main focus was to recruit those position’s that needed to be filled right away and recruit players that could jump in and compete for a starting position. They needed defensive players for up front in the “trenches” and in the secondary. According to Scouts.com and rivals.com, Arkansas had the number 3 top defensive class in the country…woah.

Let’s hope our defense improves drastically than last years. And with almost ALL of the big offensive players returning, there could possibly be a big BCS game next year for those Razorbacks. And a possibly Heisman candidate…Go Hogs!

Here lately

The Wife and I have had a pretty crazy last couple months. Nothing really new happened but we did a lot of traveling this year to more football games than I’ve ever been too! It sure was a LOT of fun. We ended up going to the Alabama vs. Florida International game, the Arkansas vs. Georgia game, the Arkansas vs. Eastern Michigan game, the Arkansas vs. Troy game, and the Arkansas vs. Mississippi State game! Sheesh, that’s a lot of traveling on the road!

The Hogs did as good as expected this year. They had a better season that last, had a LOT of improvement from last year, and came close to winning a couple of the games that they lost. They went 7-5 this year as compared to their 5-7 record last year. And if Ryan Mallet and all the talented players come back next year, who knows what will happen?! But they GOT to work on their defense! All in all, it was a pretty good year for Arkansas Football.

Other than traveling a lot, nothing much else has happened. We stayed home, enjoyed ourselves, went to Little Rock a couple times, and have been raking leaves and gumballs when we have the time.

That’s all the updates I have for now. I haven’t been fishing lately because of all the traveling we’ve been doing. But I may go just one more time before the really cold weather hits. Below are some of the pictures from some of the games we went to this year

I spent the whole weekend in a Tattoo shop!

It was something I thought I would never have the opportunity to do...

And although it hurt...

I'm SO glad I did it!

Call those HOGS!

Sigh… What can I say? Probably nothing that hasn’t already been said. Wow! That quarterback is really something. Ryan Mallett has got so much talent and athleticism it’s not even funny. The hogs REALLY have a stellar offense this year!

On the other hand, the Arkansas defense just plain sucked. No other way of putting it. They gave up 52 points to a Georgia team who, up to this game, was struggling to find out what kind of team they were since they lost their star players from last year to the draft. Although, if you look at the other side of this, the Georgia defense gave up 41 points to an unranked and untested Arkansas team. The Razorbacks have a long road ahead of them. They have some tough road games coming up and if Coach Petrino and Robinson don’t figure out something, we’re gonna have another year like last year.

Now, with that said, although we lost the game, it was one heck-of-a game! There were big plays the whole night. The Hogs and Dawgs went back and forth all nice in a scoring shootout! That stadium was rockin let me tell ya! At multiple times during the game, the crowd got so loud, I could hardly hear myself scream myself! Even though we lost it was a great game! We have really improved from a year ago, but we still have a lot of things to work on.

The Wife and I had a great time at the game. Here are some photo’s from the game!

Calling those Hogs!

Packed Stadium

Fayetteville here we come!

Well, Arkansas had a bye week this last weekend, so they’ve had 2 weeks to prepare for Georgia’s game. Georgia, currently ranked #23, lost their season opener to OSU. This past weekend, they won their first conference game against South Carolina. In week 3, Arkansas (1-0) plays Georgia (1-1) in the first conference game for the Hogs. Most Razorback fans would say this could make or break the whole season for the HOGS. They were a re-building team last year with a LOT of freshman. Now this year, we’ve got more experience and more talent, the guys are more physical and have fine tuning their abilities since last season.

The bulldogs are a favorite by a touchdown I’ve heard, but we’ll just have to see. This first home game in Fayetteville will let everyone know if the Razorbacks will be a contender again in the SEC. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed…

Oh, and by the way, I just found out that I get to go to the game this weekend!!!

Aren’t you jealous…
