I'm clueless. This is too good of a team for something like this to be happening to them
I feel for these guys, but i've lost a lot of confidence in them over the past couple of weeks, or is it they've lost confidence in themselves. Where the heck did all of these defensive errors come from?
I feel sorry for the baseball team . They started out so good. I'm just wondering will the Arkansas' fan start calling for Coach Vanhorn 's to be fire like they did Coach Pelphrey after the basketball season .
Van Horn is in a much better position that Pelphry. His success speaks for itself.
I do wonder if he is not part of the problem this year though. They had so much success early and then let those expectations turn into pressure. I kept waiting for the just relax and have fun speech but it never came.
Saban jumped the 'bama fans and players after their victory over Clemson. Told them they were no good just because they played one game over their heads.
It will be interesting to see how Petrino handles high expectations and pressure. It might come this year but, probably not with our schedule. Maybe next year we will see how he handles big expectations.
I think the combination of teams like Alabama and Ole Miss hitting their peak, along with the Hogs just hitting a dry spell, contributed in the losing streak.
I sense the confidence the Hogs had at mid season completely slipped away in the 3rd game of the Ole Miss series.
I hate that last whipping these guys took by the Rebels. It doesn't look very promising right now heading into tournament play.
