Wildcat formation run play on 4th and 1. Hasn’t worked all day.

McFadden showed how special he was in 2005 as a freshman. Hog fans were emotional invested in him & the program. Who is going to be our RB next year? Zero emotional investment & now we just hope the Hog jersey is represented well by a portal player. More people care less.

Thoughts and prayers are with the family of Nate Allen, one of the media giants in Arkansas, who passed away today. So many laughs with this special man from playing and coaching days in Arkansas. #RIP

Nate Allen, who spent 52 years covering the Razorbacks for Arkansas newspapers big and small, died this afternoon in Fayetteville.

Remembering one of our state's great sports reporters.

Glad to see a veteran sportswriter give a positive, fact-based assessment of Ryan Silverfield.

Most Razorback fans never played football anywhere, but they suddenly emerge as self-appointed experts on what’s best for the program and what coach Arkansas should have hired. 🙄

[Dan Wolken @DanWolken]

College sports leaders like Greg Sankey have long decried the professionalization of college sports. But as their College Football Playoff gets upended by Lane Kiffin’s departure, they’ve ignored the real threat to their product.

Eight years ago, I could have never imagined rooting for Ole Miss to win a National Championship. But thanks to Lane, here I am. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Trey Biddy @TreyBiddy]

Sorry for the delay in commenting. I was getting prepared to go on CBS Sports to talk Ryan Silverfield and Arkansas, but they decided Florida and Auburn hires were way more interesting and decided last minute not to have me on. I can't say I blame them. I'd bump me too.

This is nothing against Ryan Silverfield. He wants the Arkansas head coaching job. Glad someone does... But it just shows how disconnected Arkansas is with their own fanbase.

There is literally not one single Hog fan I have seen who has expressed excitement on a day everyone was looking forward to since this started. I see angry, apathetic, sad, disbelief and laughter as a means of coping.

But should it be a surprise? As I have said many times, as you all good and well know, Arkansas has the worst football program in the SEC. So these are the kinds of decisions you get.

Arkansas needed to make a hire fans could rally behind, a hire that would lead to a groundswell of support, and this just is not what anybody had in mind. #wps

[Rick David @rickdavidhog]

Kiffin burning down Ole Miss before the playoffs is amazing to see. Regardless of your fan support, this should never happen to a student athlete dreaming of winning a national title. Probably the most selfish act by a coach ever.

[Rick David @rickdavidhog]

The only thing that can save Hunter Yurachek in one year is Silverfield. If football flops next year, Yurachek and Silverfield could be gone. In this era, you better win now. Hogs should go after Scott Woodard for AD.

[Rick David @rickdavidhog]

Facts: Sliverfield vs Golesh 3-0, Silverfield vs Sumrall 1-2, Silverfield vs Pittman 1-0. Silverfield records since 2023 10-3, 11-2, 8-4.

Watching social media is comical. To see people still wanting Petrino a/f not winning one game is the best. Who knows what Arkansas has.

[Rick David @rickdavidhog]

When KJ is in, the offense is in sync. We look more competent.

[Rick David @rickdavidhog]

Why does he have to pray to do the right thing and just stay at Ole Miss?

[SEC Mike @MichaelWBratton]

Lane Kiffin asked on the field if he has made a decision on his future following Ole Miss winning the Egg Bowl:

“No I haven’t. I got a lot of praying to do to figure that out tomorrow.”

I can’t stress enough that coaches sell Coke when they’re hired to sell Coke, they sell Pepsi when they’re hired to sell Pepsi

[Rick David @rickdavidhog]

Arkansas defense is moving in slow motion and they look lost.

[Rick David @rickdavidhog]

LSU knew the sneak was coming and the DL jumped over. Bad play call.

[Rick David @rickdavidhog]

Petrino and the rest of the team lack discipline.

[Rick David @rickdavidhog]

Razorback RB Mike Washington was a two star out of high school. He is exceptional and will play in the NFL. He has 5 star maturity and 5 star production.

[Kevin Miller @Kevin_HailBully]

@SECNetwork @HailStateFB Everyone blaming penalties are being silly. Arkansas mentally imploded. Every one of those aside from maybe the penalty on Petrino was warranted. Even then, they let him rant. He just wouldn’t stop. Y’all had complete control. Then mentally destructed. It happens. State knows

[Rick David @rickdavidhog]

@brandon77evans Yep. The refs bad. So were the Hogs. Have more discipline, execute, and we win.

[Rick David @rickdavidhog]

A lack of discipline.
