I remember growing up in the late 90s and my buddies dad was an Arkansas fan and he would talk about how good the razorbacks used to be. When do you stop talking about things won 30 years ago? 

 

So you should just let your history die? In your family do people still talk about things your grandfather or your father did? Do you still feel a sense of pride in those things that they may have done? That's why we hold on to those things.

Let's talk about the stickers on the helmet...

Staph infection, unrelated to his previous injury.

Which is awful. This team is still dealing with a staff infection from Frost

I bet if we had stickers we’d be good…

Accept what it is.  A ticket sold streak at a discount rate.  Realist and defeatist are two completely different things 

That is true. But being pragmatic is also a good thing to be. You don't throw out the baby with the bath water.

I question the wisdom of having Haarberg in the game at this point.

Have you ever looked at your uncle talking about how great things used to be and think “I wish this guy would shut the Fudge up?”

Bad analogy. A bad date usually doesn’t lead to more dates… probably not a good idea to continue to invest in someone after 3 awful dates 

Sure, but this is our first true whooping. Colorado & Minnesota were self-inflicted issues. We looked decent against the inferior teams... hard to justify tossing out failure this early on.

Devaney got beat 47-0 by Oklahoma in 1968. Seems we got pretty good in a few years. Naysayers can just go away.

Call me what you want.  I am sick and tired of watching the same crap year after year after year.  While other crappy teams are improving.  Winning and being ranked.  Doesn't make me a bad fan.  Makes me a fan who wants my team to quit getting its a$$ kicked every week.  And go to a bowl game.

Yeah, getting hurt would suck. Guess it’s worth it for the reps against 2nd and 3rd stringers. 

[knapplc]

I'm guessing the starters are still in because we haven't been shut out since Arizona in 1996.

Part of me thinks he could use more time to develop, but I also think he needs to stay healthy.

I've been wondering why they don't try Sims at some point here. HH looks hesitant and isn't inspiring anybody to think we've got a shot next week or beyond.

Should have kicked it for three in the first half.

Nope. Let's not convolute the message I said earlier. If you can get pride from the past and hope to get back to that point again it's worth striving for.
