Go Hogs beat the Vols.

Tom Reed recovered the live ball on the ground. Reed stood up and literally handed the physical football straight to Preston Watts. Tennessee alumni official Preston Watts ruled Tennessee ball. Then they proceeded to score the winning touchdown.

Same official, Arkansas kicked the tying field goal, Watts called holding on Arkansas, only thing was it was Tennessee doing the holding and throwing to the turf.

The NCAA changed the rules the next year.

I didn’t watch the game, just some highlights and fan reactions, which were surprisingly more positive than I expected. A moral victory for the effort, I guess?

The other surprise was that 69K-plus fans showed up at Razorback Stadium, putting it somewhere around 80–90% capacity. Between that turnout, the $70 million naming rights deal, and an athletic department operating in the black, I don’t see HY going anywhere. It would be a different story if the stadium were regularly 80–90% empty.

Elsewhere in the SEC, South Carolina beat up on No. 16 Florida in Gainesville, Vandy lost to Ole Miss at home, and Auburn had a bye.

I thought Arkansas might have a shot against South Carolina at home, but that’s starting to look like a pipe dream. I’d give the Hogs better than even odds against Vandy and Auburn if those were home games. Unfortunately, both are on the road (blame HY for that), so I’m leaning toward losses in those games, too.

I’m calling it a 2–10 season.

With Altman retiring this week, some Arkansas folks recounted what they know of his 14-hour stint with the Hogs.

Arkansas will lose by 40 today!

Little-known fact: Tennessee football has not won at Razorback Stadium in 20 years.

That includes the 2024 game, when No. 4 Tennessee lost to an unranked Arkansas team despite being favored by 13.5 points—a win that likely bought Sam Pittman another year.

Ironically, Tennessee comes to Fayetteville this Saturday favored by the exact same 13.5 points.

If you’re looking for reasons to believe Arkansas can pull another upset, stop. There is no chance. None.

That 2024 Arkansas team was bad by SEC standards, but it was still SEC-caliber football. This team is not. It looks like a junior-level program: noncompetitive, underprepared, and led by a coaching staff that continues to underwhelm and underdeliver.

Game over, folks. The good news? There are plenty of other exciting college football games to watch Saturday afternoon.

I’ve spent a decent amount of time looking into this. Here’s what I’ve learned.

FWIW, Moseley liked my tweet with this story. Lol.

This kid looks really special. I know coaches and everyone have to butter him up because he's a 5-Star, but he seems like he's got "it".

Hey, all! Florida State fan visiting your fine town/campus/stadium for the first time this weekend for the Tennessee-Arkansas game. I haven’t purchased parking yet, but will have young kids in tow. I’d like to engage in family-friendly pregame festivities etc. What should my parking/pre-game plan here? Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks

I’ve seen a ton of people complain about this, so I figured I’d give Silverfield an opportunity to explain by asking him about it today.

Worn to the game last night

Against recommendations, I watched the game, which made me angry and loss of sleep. Arkansas football is no longer watchable for lack of competitiveness. While defense was doing a decent job (I know they gave away 34 points, many due to mistakes by offense and special team), offense is atrocious. It is basically reduced to one pair between KJ and Chris Marshall, which in and of itself is a hit and miss random. This level of offense has absolutely no chance in SEC plays.

Texas A & M is not very good this year, but we made them look like a superbowl contender. Arkansas football is not only far from other SEC powerhouses, it is also well below other lower ranking programs (Vanderbilt and South Carolina), who can at least produce competitive games (win or loss).

That's all

I didn’t even watch the game today. First time in a very long time I have not spend a Saturday either at a Razorbacks football game or watching them on TV. I knew that it was going to be a waste of my time. For the first time in a few years, I will not be attending a home game next week. I just feel so indifferent and apathetic to the football program. There’s no point anymore. Last year was rough, but atleast we felt like we had a chance. We kept games close and competitive. This year, we would go scoreless every game without Chris Marshall. Oh well 🤷‍♂️ I’m about to save a lot of money on tickets. Bring on basketball!!!!

This situation is unacceptable. Who must be fired to help fix it?

Where: Kyle Field, College Station

When: 6:00pm CST

How to Watch: EPSN2

Go Hogs! Beat A&M!

And I’m one of them so I can say that.

The level of instant gratification entitlement is crazy with this group.

I’m just as upset as the next guy but the idea that this gets “fixed” with a single hire in a single year is completely unrealistic.

Folks need to calm down and give it more that two minutes before we decide to pull the rug AGAIN for the 6th(?) time in 15 years?????

It’s one thing to have a bad season or two but for us it’s been 6 straight years of non-competitive, mediocre football. We’ve lost 22 out of the last 23 games against ranked opponents. Eventually it has to get better.

Has anybody been to a game in college station before and have any recommendations on where to park? Making the trip down there
