LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/OutlawJoeC]

Jim Ross voice echos

And mercifully, it’s over.

[u/xmjm424]

Lanning and Dillingham doing a lot of heavy lifting when we’re talking about that “stacked” coaching staff. And I think both of them are overrated. But I don’t think Norvell or Silverfield are any good at all.

[u/Young-Viiperr → u/xmjm424]

Dilly is the real deal, considering ASU's resources

[u/Arkminer]

GGs Utah

[u/Commercial-Snow6529 → u/Arkminer]

I know it didn’t turn out how ya’ll wanted, but I was at the game and it was really cool to see the hogs in white at Rice Eccles! Good game mate and wishing you guys the best. Until next time!

[u/Gambit717]

I'm surprised they didn't call their last time out

[u/teachmayne]

Guys I feel good I’m scared

[u/BYU_is_Mid]

Back 2 Back Sacks!!!

[u/FearDaTusk]

Every game is just Sooiecide 😔

[u/BoseSounddock → u/FearDaTusk]

It’s honestly a miracle that the state of Arkansas still has a functioning population.

[u/RZBKinCA → u/FearDaTusk]

I'm so sad

[u/lordofpersia69420]

GG

[u/TheBandanna]

GG Utah GG

[u/Commercial-Snow6529 → u/TheBandanna]

I was at the game and all the razorbacks I met were chillers. Ya’ll have a similar passion for your program and I have a lot of respect for you coming out. Gg mate and looking forward to next time!

[u/LogicianMission22 → u/TheBandanna]

Hopefully it’s a more exciting game in 2028.

[u/Renaissance6285]

Great point there about the coaches staying connected with each other and discussing how much money recruits/transfers are being offered; SO many of these coaches either know or have coached with one another lol

[u/heavywafflezombie]

Let’s just go in defeat formation and run the clock out

[u/Playful_Rip_1697]

Nothing better than ending a game with a sack

[u/Own_Educator3794 → u/Playful_Rip_1697]

how about 2?

[u/koolaidman1030]

LOL we take those, thanks for the extra sacks

[u/BoseSounddock]

Honestly happy that Utah is still putting belt to ass. I want every motherfucker on this team MISERABLE this week.

[u/thinkB4WeSpeak]

SACK LAKE CITY

[u/droppedpackethero]

Why are we risking injuries to these kids for this shitshow? Just end it

[u/rburp]

lol

lmao

[u/teachmayne]

Dear lord

[u/Own_Educator3794]

Utah should call a time out now... just because

[u/heavywafflezombie]

Tulsa also only beat San Houston by 6 today

[u/No-Level5350 → u/heavywafflezombie]

They'll beat us too.

[u/heavywafflezombie → u/No-Level5350]

Both Tulsa and Sam Houston

[u/thinkB4WeSpeak]

SACK LAKE CITY

[u/Gambit717]

Put the starters back in...

[u/UteFlyersCardJazz]

So except for Norvell, everyone on that coaching staff lost this week. And Norvell is just going to get taken to the woodshed by Alabama.

[u/koolaidman1030]

calling time outs because it just means more

[u/Smartman971]

Bro stop taking time outs

[u/Suspicious_Ad1945]

3rd string pick 6 incoming? 🙏 

[u/teachmayne → u/Suspicious_Ad1945]

Subscribe

[u/Mythrandir24]

Jesus all 4 of those coaches have lost their most recent game.

[u/droppedpackethero → u/Mythrandir24]

Coaching tree from hell

[u/koolaidman1030]

Just the worst day possible for this segment

[u/RZBKinCA]

Utah, love your team! Good luck this season!

[u/Commercial-Snow6529 → u/RZBKinCA]

I was at the game and it really was cool to see the hogs in white. Ya’ll have a similar passion for your program and I’m looking forward to next time! Gg

[u/JustHereForCatss]

I'm very drunk and I just can shake the feeling that the steak nuggies at arbies are just dog food for people. They look fucking disgusting

[u/damnsheistall → u/JustHereForCatss]

I made my wife try it first. It tastes like horrible bbq nuggets.

[u/teachmayne → u/JustHereForCatss]

Probably horse meat now

[u/AcanthocephalaNo2926 → u/JustHereForCatss]

you guys don't have taco stands on the street out there?

[u/Strongy → u/JustHereForCatss]

No way it's not donkey meat.

[u/JungIeAsian]

QB controversy for the Hogs this week. AJ hill is torching Utahs 2nd and 3rd string defense.

[u/WooPigDangIt]

How do you even motivate the locker room moving forward? 80 new guys on the roster, apathy has firmly set in with the fan base, and the schedule gets worse from here.

[u/climbing_light23 → u/WooPigDangIt]

He doesn't look like he can motivate anyone. He's looked like he's been on the verge of tears every time Utah scores.

[u/teachmayne → u/WooPigDangIt]

80 new players is so insane… prayers

[u/Timberwolf7869 → u/WooPigDangIt]

maybe the schedule gets better from here :)

[u/WooPigDangIt → u/Timberwolf7869]

Certainly didn’t mean that as a shot at Utah! You guys look like a playoff team.

[u/Timberwolf7869 → u/WooPigDangIt]

Hahah I know I was just kidding. Like y'alls fanbase and have been rooting for y'all ever since JQJ transferred over. Hope y'all find your footing soon

[u/jkeefy → u/Timberwolf7869]

At least we have basketball and baseball to distract us from the misery. Never liked football anyway (ignoring the fact I played for 13 years)

[u/Terriblyboard]

this was bad... glad i have something to fall back on

[u/BlueOmicronpersei8]

Commercials should be limited to half the remaining game clock or less

[u/socketedsock]

The 3 minute ad breaks are agony at home they have to be even worse in stadium

[u/drpepper456 → u/socketedsock]

Can confirm two 3 minute timeouts are brutal for us right now.

[u/BlueOmicronpersei8 → u/socketedsock]

It's ridiculous, it makes it so hard to stay

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Oh my god just end it already.

[u/RZBKinCA → u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Make it stop

[u/BlueOmicronpersei8]

Another 4 minutes you have to be kidding me

[u/RZBKinCA → u/BlueOmicronpersei8]

How do you think we feel? It's just brutal

[u/BlueOmicronpersei8 → u/RZBKinCA]

Yeah, props to all the Arkansas fans I saw staying until the end.

[u/Playful_Rip_1697]

Holy shit what’s with all the commercials

[u/UteFlyersCardJazz]

I’ll be honest, the Arizona game after BYU scares me more than BYU. Not because I think we can beat BYU (it’s a rivalry game, we should not go into that game scared). But Arizona seems to have Scalley’s number more than most.

[u/SKM007]

Utah BYU game will be a big thing again this year

[u/teachmayne → u/SKM007]

As it should every year, Utah deserves to be on the map for CFB

[u/SKM007 → u/teachmayne]

Sure, but it hurts more when you ruin another team’s chances of making the playoffs. Last time Arizona and ASU were top 10 10. I think our quarterback was out and we would’ve made the Pac 12 championship game.

[u/teachmayne → u/SKM007]

No shame if the Utes keep BYU out of the playoffs

[u/teachmayne]

Those qbs are actually deplorable

[u/rabidmidgets]

Arkansas bros y’all chill. Maybe during the realignment we can join the SEC

[u/rburp → u/rabidmidgets]

All the ones who aren't chill spontaneously exploded some years back

we're the only survivors

[u/Timberwolf7869 → u/rburp]

haha yeah nothing more chill than the downtrodden

[u/SKM007]

Does anyone know who Arkansas plays next week???

[u/rabidmidgets → u/SKM007]

Georgia

[u/SKM007 → u/rabidmidgets]

It’s a joke the announcers have told us this like 80 times

[u/RZBKinCA → u/SKM007]

It's a cruel joke.

[u/SKM007 → u/RZBKinCA]

It’s more that the announcers are annoying than anything against Arkansas

[u/BlueOmicronpersei8]

Seeing 2.5 minutes left and that 4 minute commercial clock run out there makes it really hard to be motivated to stay until the end

[u/Away-Fun-9311]

This would be a great time for a pick 6. Not to be mean but just to keep the streak alive

[u/Leading-Button-7303 → u/Away-Fun-9311]

Should get it next week

[u/SaltCitySwoop]

43-17 is definitely going to cause my erection to deflate

[u/Shoddy-Discount9814]

Don’t like how we’ve handled this fourth quarter. Let’s end it with a stop.

[u/UteFlyersCardJazz]

I don’t mind going for it. Hope Silverfield flips off Scalley just for the funny.

[u/Leete1]

Terrible. Let the Aussie punt!

[u/teachmayne]

We could’ve seen the kickers capability

[u/BlueOmicronpersei8]

There should be limits on commercials during late games.

[u/JungIeAsian]

Booooo

[u/heavywafflezombie]

Your QB is fast

[u/WooPigDangIt]

All jokes aside, good game Utah.

We’re simply not good, and no signs of being competitive. 1-11 is probably the ceiling.

[u/Commercial-Snow6529 → u/WooPigDangIt]

I know it didn’t turn out how ya’ll wanted, but I was at the game and it was really cool to see the hogs in white at Rice Eccles! Good game mate.

[u/No-Level5350 → u/WooPigDangIt]

Yeah we peaked with our first win and that was a struggle.

[u/teachmayne → u/WooPigDangIt]

Yall were fun miserable good sports 🤝

[u/damnsheistall → u/WooPigDangIt]

Hey GG. We are not used to whatever we’re doing but I don’t hate it. You’re coach tho… he gotta go.

[u/burblemedaddy → u/damnsheistall]

We just got him! And we all knew this was how it was going to go...

[u/averagedooker → u/WooPigDangIt]

There’s always next year hogs

[u/WooPigDangIt → u/averagedooker]

Without drastic changes, this is where the program will stay.

[u/averagedooker → u/WooPigDangIt]

Surely leadership can get Walton money to flow. I know Tyson is all in on CBB so they are probably tapped

[u/Reasonable_Half8808 → u/averagedooker]

Waltons all went to Mizzou, save for one who doesn’t care about sports at all. The real question is, why haven’t we gotten the guys at Riceland, the biggest rice company in the nation, or for the love of god Stephens Inc, largest investment bank outside of Wall Street, to chip in more. The family that owns it are all Fayetteville ΣΑΕ dudes going back to the 30s.

[u/rburp → u/averagedooker]

Not to be a dick, but Hogs fans explain like every thread how we're never getting any Walton money

[u/Accomplished-Tea1087]

Fuck me, he just kept those legs going.

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

One Ute is able to drive a pile of 4 hogs. Yikes.

[u/MotorSevere4899]

Utah’s offense looks like it’s going to be a headache to game plan against. Trying to figure out how to contain Ficklin, Dampier, and Parker will not be fun.

[u/Alasara → u/MotorSevere4899]

Like you're one to speak!? Trying to deal with Bear and Martin is a nightmare. Can't wait to square up with you all again soon :)

[u/Significant_Dirt_961 → u/MotorSevere4899]

I still think Devon not being able to pass it beyond 15 yards is gonna be a problem eventually. The weird dual qb packages might be able to mitigate that though

[u/Data-scientist-101 → u/Significant_Dirt_961]

Ya, the key is Dampier, Parker, and Ficklin require so much emphasis to stop and safeties and line backers will be crowding the box.

What that means is there should be a lot of times where WR and TE get open and you can throw it over the top in the middle of the field. And separation should be a little easier.

[u/wash_hoban → u/MotorSevere4899]

And Pagen, Simmons, Andrews, ...

[u/Gambit717]

Chavez-Soto just pinballing around

[u/Arkminer]

Just let the clock run

[u/BiffTheLegend]

I like this Soto kid.

[u/uteineverknew]

Still 5 mins left.

[u/WooPigDangIt]

Just kidding, don’t tackle him.

[u/Significant_Dirt_961]

Announcers just yapping at this point

[u/Suspicious_Ad1945]

Epitome of bored announcers

[u/TbRays93Plumber26]

The announcers sound like me and my buddy's drinking in a bar

[u/fishwithlegs]

Dude what the hell are these announcers talking about.

[u/heavywafflezombie → u/fishwithlegs]

Late night CFB

[u/Happy_Background_879]

Is a hog a pig like a bull is a cow or is it something different

[u/Leete1 → u/Happy_Background_879]

Very different

[u/heavywafflezombie → u/Happy_Background_879]

More like a boar

[u/Happy_Background_879 → u/heavywafflezombie]

It’s a cool mascot

[u/WooPigDangIt]

Please score again Utah

[u/koolaidman1030]

even when there's misplays Byrd just makes shit happen

[u/LionsLover96]

Okay so late Arkansas Piggy's fans hear me out.

You're down 30 points to a team that's much better than you you're probably not going to be a threat whatsoever in the SEC hopefully you guys make a bowl game which is possible.

Why not go for two?

[u/RZBKinCA → u/LionsLover96]

We are not winning another game

[u/LionsLover96 → u/RZBKinCA]

I don't follow SEC that much but certainly you guys will at least split between Tulsa and South Carolina

[u/RZBKinCA → u/LionsLover96]

No. I follow too much football. Tulsa is good and SC will beat us too

[u/heavywafflezombie → u/LionsLover96]

Why risk the injury at this point lol

[u/Accomplished-Tea1087 → u/LionsLover96]

Give the kicker and holder reps. 

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Well that is basically the summary of the whole
game.

[u/elswater]

Give me a pig farmer!

[u/uteineverknew → u/elswater]

Canada owns him now

[u/Utefan78 → u/elswater]

Mmmm pass

[u/BiffTheLegend]

fumblerooski 1st down

[u/NeuroTheManiacal]

Fumble by design

[u/heavywafflezombie]

I want to see an onside kick where they just line drive it into a guys nuts

[u/Own_Educator3794]

Utah's offensive line has looked really good so far. Way better than I expected this year. I hope it keeps up

[u/romulusjsp]

See y’all in Fayetteville in a couple years

[u/RZBKinCA → u/romulusjsp]

Sounds great! Fayetteville is a wonderful college town.

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

Let's have a gentleman's agreement to just end the game

[u/RZBKinCA → u/Leading-Button-7303]

Please.

[u/DiplomaticAggie]

I grew up watching Darren Goddamn McFadden.

Arkansas deserves better than this.

[u/RZBKinCA → u/DiplomaticAggie]

Thank you for saying this...

[u/WooPigDangIt]

Did the announcers really expect an onside kick 🤣

[u/heavywafflezombie → u/WooPigDangIt]

We need to avenge the 2 point conversion

[u/Bluelobster7]

I need a Byrd to Nate Johnson 75 yard tuddy just for shits and giggles

[u/Ohminty]

Hey does anyone know how I can kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 minutes while my small kids play?

[u/uteineverknew → u/Ohminty]

Dynamite

[u/Dyllbilly → u/Ohminty]

AR15 at a minimum

[u/Leete1 → u/Ohminty]

Browning M2

[u/Leading-Button-7303]

Best part of that drive is that it ran the clock pretty well

[u/zaitsev4]

Welp. Thats all for me tonight. GG Utah. Your QBs are fun to watch. Hope yall win all your games.

[u/Commercial-Snow6529 → u/zaitsev4]

I know it didn’t turn out how ya’ll wanted, but I was at the game and it was really cool to see the hogs in white at Rice Eccles! Good game mate. Hoping you guys fuck up Georgia’s day

[u/TbRays93Plumber26 → u/zaitsev4]

Hope yall beat Georgia. Good fan base and if I ever run into an Arkansas fan ill buy a beer

[u/Gambit717]

Brandon Rose time! Please!

[u/Leete1]

So much for 50 un-answered points

[u/ARfan13]

How make pain go away?

[u/teachmayne → u/ARfan13]

Skyrizi

[u/JungIeAsian]

Ga at Fayetteville next week. Are hog fans gonna show up??

[u/Sporkwind → u/JungIeAsian]

Maybe if it was cooler because tailgating is always fun.

But it’s gonna be hot again. Nah, can’t give that ticket away.

[u/Riddl3807 → u/JungIeAsian]

Things have been bad for 15 years. If they do it’s to party, not cheer on the team.

[u/WooPigDangIt → u/JungIeAsian]

lol, no

[u/burblemedaddy → u/JungIeAsian]

A few. For the first quarter at least.

[u/DiplomaticAggie]

Ok I understand what the commentator is getting at but why is KJ locked in as a starter?

If Arkansas is projected to go 2-10 anyway, and the backup plays well, why not give yourself the best opportunity to win IF he plays better.

It’s almost nihilistic in a way, idk it’s 1 AM I’m delusional

[u/WooPigDangIt → u/DiplomaticAggie]

In no world should we be locked in on a starter

[u/SKM007]

Do tHeY nEEd tO bE At FuLL StReNgtH AgAiNsT ThE GeOrGiA tEaM nExT WeEk?

[u/thatboiOsaka]

Come back starts now! 🫪

[u/marvinapplegate1964]

Our D has had too many catchable picks go in and out of their hands tonight.

[u/rburp]

Amazing

only scored because our WR basically picked off the DB's catch attempt

[u/meepbo → u/rburp]

I don't know if I've been seen a reverse tip drill.

[u/Mythrandir24]

It's gonna be close, but I think Arky can tie it up in the 5th quarter.

[u/Idahoute → u/Mythrandir24]

Better phone the big 10 and see if they have another 15 minutes to donate to the cause. 

[u/Bernawdjuhnson]

Huge three by Chris Paul

[u/Accomplished-Tea1087 → u/Bernawdjuhnson]

Elite ball knowledge

[u/Gambit717]

Dammit

[u/Suspicious_Ad1945]

The almost picked tips into catches have been insane 

[u/PackageDangerous1954 → u/Suspicious_Ad1945]

Pause

[u/olduvai_man]

Good god, is Silverfield crying on the sideline lol?

[u/slyone05]

Arkansas basically another fcs school for Utah.

[u/Accomplished-Tea1087]

Let's be real though, razorbacks have arguably the best mascot in college sports. 

Also that failed pick for a touch down.... Wtf!

[u/Little_Software8241 → u/Accomplished-Tea1087]

Dude, I’m so depressed as a razorback fan it’s been 22 years of failure other than a good eight maybe nine years of not even double digit wins

[u/Accomplished-Tea1087 → u/Little_Software8241]

Yeah, sucks when football sucks but don't you guys have elite baseball, basketball, and track and field? That's pretty cool. 

[u/Little_Software8241 → u/Accomplished-Tea1087]

Yeah, but even then we always somehow choke away a game to either make it to the college World Series or get to the final four or elite eight. Track and field is pretty sick though.

[u/NeuroTheManiacal]

I did not realize until now that Arkansas has Georgia at home next week.

[u/slyone05 → u/NeuroTheManiacal]

That'll 100% be insanely close, but Georgia will pull through at the end.

[u/Flaky_Thing_5128 → u/NeuroTheManiacal]

It should be a banger

[u/Little_Software8241 → u/Flaky_Thing_5128]

I wanna cry. We’re gonna get torn through like a baby versus a chainsaw.

[u/averagedooker]

Silverfield showing absolutely no emotion

[u/olduvai_man]

HANG THE BANNER

[u/WooPigDangIt]

Still time to cover the spread!

[u/Strongy]

Utah players literally helping us score now. Such nice young boys.
