boise crossed arkansas off its list. darn.
I answered:
I heard the deal wasn’t going to happen yesterday. I think Arkansas decided they wanted another home game instead of one at a neutral site, so it fell through. I was looking forward to it.
I would LOVE to see this match-up. But Arkansas isn’t exactly “poised to win” the SEC West. They have to get past LSU and Alabama and I don’t see them winning either of those games.
I might be wrong, but it looks like Alabama and LSU are going to be two totally different teams next year. It will be a stretch for Arkansas to win it, but I’m giving them just as much of a chance as I’m giving Bama and LSU. I might be a little biased though. My 2nd cousin signed with Arkansas! He’s going to be in their secondary, so I have a newfound interest in the program.
Word on the street is that Arkansas only has 11 confirmed regular season games scheduled for next season. Boise is playing AT Hawaii, and any team that plays AT Hawaii can opt for a 13th regular season game (Which is how they went 14-0 a few seasons back without a conference championship game)….
It would really be fascinating to watch this game…seriously, I’m curious, Jerry Jones.
I don’t know how I feel about this, since Arkansas lost Franklin, Bequette, Nelson, Wright, Adams, Childs, Green, and more. Those leaders in the senior class were the team’s anchor. Davis and Wilson staying is huge, but still! I don’t know who Boise is losing though. And I do think that Arkansas needs some high profile games on its slate, especially one at Cowboy Stadium, despite what happened with Texas and USC a few years back…
Boise is losing about 15-18 starters, so they have it much worse than Arkansas from that aspect. I’m really worried about next year actually. We don’t even know who our quarterback is going to be.
My question: is the ax about to fall on Oregon?
Who knows. It’s very possible. I think they were under the radar last summer after all the yahoo sports investigations and reports. We’ve seen it before out of Pac-12 coaches. Not to name names or anything.
I did not see this coming. Apparently, Oregon head coach Chip Kelly is close to making a deal with the Tampa Bay Bucs over their head coaching vacancy.

Word on the street also says that Jerry Jones would love to host the match up in his big backyard.
I’m not sure about the reality of it, but I would like to see it come into reality. Though I’m not going to lie, it will probably be a rough game for the rebuilding Broncos to play an Arkansas team poised to win the SEC West.

My favorite Quarterback!!!
- Alabama
- Oklahoma
- Oregon
- Arkansas
- USC
I would have claimed that this team was the best in Alabama history. But for now, that claim stays with the 2009-2010 team that beat Texas.
And that’s why I was cheering for Alabama tonight.
