They also had the distinction of playing only 2 ranked teams last year if my memory serves me correctly.

I watched the entire game with a smirk on my face. :D

I just loved the look on Spurrier's face every time Wuerful got sacked or the Huskers scored. PRICLESS! :D

I just think they made promises they did not intend to keep. I have a very good friend who is well entrenched in the Arkansas athletic department as a deep pocket booster and his father was told by the AD that the coach was only brought in to bring in those kids from that school with the promise of being made into the HC when they fired Houston Nutt at the end of last year. What screwed things up was the Razorbacks went to the SEC championship game....Kinda hard to fire a guy after a season like that.

Reschke,

The sad thing is, Mustaine had started and won eight straight games for them, then he started cold one Saturday afternoon and Nutt pulled him and put in Casey Dick....who also floundered.

Casey started the last three games.  Including the one where he replaced Mustaine, he lost three and won only one.

Since then, Mustaine quit the Razorbacks and transferred to...wait for it....USC.

Yeah....Nutt is a GREAT coach.  :rolleyes:

You are right Shuckins. Living down here in Birmingham you get 100% SEC football 24/7 365 and I have friends who went to Arkansas as I said and are deep pocket boosters. They have wanted him gone for the last 3-5 years but that tard keeps pulling it out somehow. They have said that his only saving grace this year is the runningbacks and once they leave this year he is gone.

Can careless of the outcome, I'm not a "bandwagon" fan.   I've been a UT fan almost as long as you've been alive.   UT's also 2nd or 3rd in All-Time Bowl appearances.   They are  consistent.

I'd have to check,but you're probably correct.

You can't replace Boston College,Virginia Tech,and Miami of Florida instantaneously.

They still rushed for 382 yards on the SEC champ in their own backyard.Total offense was 502 yards.

Trust me, I'm not belittling the accomplishment, but you know I mean no malice or "ribbing".   I was just saying.   <> Sox.

FWIW, I was rooting for the Mountaineers until they ALMOST imploded against ECU(?)   They finally got their head straight in the 3rd and 4th Quarters, but for a while it was a good game to watch.
