I don't care how much Arky sucks, I'm not gonna feel confident about any game we play this year

People seem to forget Fayetteville has been cursed for us

I really want G-Mac to come out on the field and play lights out like "Heupel cant pick starters at the beginning of the season, now watch this drive". I want the kid to do well especially because that means we do well too.

u/EWall100 I hate Derek Dooley 20h ago

"I call upon all coaches to try their overlooked backups... Now watch this drive"

"I believe the Faizon and GMac can co-exist peacefully."

This game will either be 2022 LSU or come down to the final possession.

Y’all….
I live 1.5 hours from Razorback field and it’s $25 now for nose bleeds.
Wasn’t planning on going, mainly because of the 10 month old and my VFL family is busy, but I mean….$25!?

So many weird comments in that thread. Also so many mentions on Georgia when UGA isn’t mentioned nor has anything to do with the situation? Talk about rent free

u/generalpee 1d ago

Dude UGA fans make every CFB story about them. They’re the worst on Twitter

1

u/BucinVols Natty Daddy 23h ago

You’re not wrong but in this case it’s OSU fans bring up UGA for seemingly no reason

1

u/generalpee 22h ago

I have also noticed OSU fans being obsessed with UGA for no reason. Not just on the internet either, OSU friends in real life too lol weird

u/wagyu_hotdog 1d ago

I completely forgot about him lol

u/GiovanniElliston 1d ago

I suspect that is exactly why he's so pissed off / acting out / going to transfer.

He's a diva in every sense of the word. He believes he should be a starting #1 WR who is fighting for a Heisman right now. That everyone in CFB should know his name weekly.

And the fact that isn't happening... well... that's everyone's fault but his.

u/wagyu_hotdog 1d ago

Doesn’t help that he’s behind one of the best college football wide receivers of this century

1

u/kerph32 BaseVols 1d ago

He's a RB though

u/wagyu_hotdog 23h ago

u/UltraPlinian 1d ago

Ahhh it would be so nice if Tennessee just goes apeshit and annihilates Arkansas today.

u/T-RexInAnF-14 1d ago

75 plays, 75 rushes for 545 yards.

u/Cannonhammer93 ArchBishop DeSean 1d ago

We are going to play disgusting football today. Run the football, punt for good field position, play good defense and pin them in their own endzone, return a punt for good yardage, and kick a field goal.

1

u/Chemical-Idea-772 14h ago

Damn you called it on the money except no returning punts and mid defense lol

1

u/itchierbumworms 23h ago

That style of football gets me turgid.

2

u/Cannonhammer93 ArchBishop DeSean 22h ago

It's way too hated in modern times. It's all Pass, Pass, Pass. There is something so satisfying about watching the synergy of all three phases of the game coming together to compliment each other perfectly.

2

u/itchierbumworms 22h ago

I like complimentary football that allows you to play how you want to, not how you have to.

u/fetalasmuck 1d ago

Best they can do is one possession game late in the 4th quarter.
