Yeah, I looked over at my wife in the 3rd quarter when it was 33-7, and said “Welcome to the SEC!”

If they’re losing to Arkansas like that, they have a rude awakening coming when they play schools that aren’t rebuilding or struggling.

Arkansas seems more than just a rebuilding squad this year; they’ve been pretty stout so far. I mean they’re not Bama, but who is?

I guess it is all relative. For a lot of schools, this might not be considered a rebuilding year. But for Arkansas with a second year coach, and for the second year in a row, having the preseason toughest ranked schedule in the nation, I consider it a rebuilding year.

If we win 5 games, the season will be a success. The next two games will go a long way to determining how to rate our season.
