The show must go on though and our favorite part of the weekend has by far become Thursday nights at Grubs Uptown. That chicken strip basket will make your tongue slap your brains out! Wash it down with a cold tall water and it's time for some Playstation.
Tyler Wilson continues his struggles and Knile Davis fumbles away victory as Arkansas loses in OT, 31-28. It seems to be this is the only thing Playstation has been correct about all year, both Wilson and Davis struggling.
And now for the mailbag:
"John Daly called the radio and said the next coach is Gruden. What have you heard?"
Oh geez. Really!!?? I haven't heard anything, in fact, I don't believe anyone has. Jeff Long's lips are sealed tighter than Jessica Dorrell's blue jeans. He's the only one who knows who the next guy will be.
"How about A&M beating Bama?"
How bout it? I know I'm sick of hearing "Johnny Football" already. But I did find out why Bama gave the game away. Word got out that Saban didn't want to have to go visit Obama for a 3rd time.
"Yesterday was John L Smith's birthday. Did you send him a card?"
No, but I heard this year he actually lost a year. If I sent the guy anything it would be a U-Haul.
"Stupid question, are you going to Starkville?"
Not really a stupid question, don't forget Tunica is in Mississippi. But no, I'm not going. I'm not even sure the team is going.
So off to Starkhell the Hogs go for a must win game to get bowl eligible. But let's not kid ourselves, do we really want them in a bowl game?? Not really. We just need to play the last two and get this wreck of a season over with. But what we really need is more cowbell.
Mississippi State week is usually one of my favorite weeks of the season. It's just too easy to pick on cheerleaders that graze on the field, cowbell clangin' Ole Miss rejects, and a list of coaches that have come to coach State football just to ruin their career. I miss Croom, but I must admit I absolutely love Coach Cousin Eddie Mullen. How can you not like at guy that is undefeated against the SEC East, but can't beat anyone except Ole Miss (and now Auburn) in the West?
"The 7-0 Bulldawgs" (said in my best Mississippi State public announcer voice) have since lost 3 in a row and look to rebound against the Hogs. The rebound shouldn't be very hard as no first year Arkansas coach has ever beat Mississippi State. Danny Ford at least found a way to tie. Given that history, we expect nothing more than a loss for Johnelle and company. Vegas has taken the under/over total for points off the board and moved it to over/under for illegal formations by Arkansas. The number is at 1.5. You can double your money if it happens on a big play.
But if the Hogs do find a way to get lined up right, Tyler Wilson could have a big day as State has a secondary that is just slightly better than the Hogs secondary. It could be another one of those fabulous days where Tyler throws for over 500 yards (497 of them to Cobi) and the Hogs only score 17 points. Up front, State brings the heat and can stop the run. They can also get to the passer, but who can't against Arkansas' o-line?
Paul Petrino will call a solid first 15 scripted plays thanks to Bobby's input on their Friday night phone call. But from play 16 on, your guess is as good as mine. It's been that kind of a season folks. Unfortunately, we're going to hear lots of cowbells.
Another early wake up! Try some sausage biscuits with the cheese dip this week. Anything to break the monotony.
Arkansas 17
Mistake 37
Go Hogs!
