The Razorbacks and Crimson Tide will meet for the 18th time in school history. Arkansas won the last meeting between the two schools in 2006 with a 24-23 double overtime victory. It will be the first time the two teams have played a night game.

Good running game, as expected. But, same old, same old 2006 — no passing game and no pass defense. K. Woods had two pass interference penalties on final Alabama drive and we lose the game. Our d-backs have no idea where the ball is. Any team can short pass across the middle all they want in a hurry up situation. Where are the linebackers and/or the up men?
Our receivers dropped one wide-open pass and Dick missed a wide-open receiver on the sideline. And I only saw a portion of the third quarter and most of the fourth.
We will finish in the middle of pack in the West and only have a winning season because of the patsies on the schedule.
I say FIRE Houston Nutt. He is a sorry coach. Arkansas should have won the game tonight against Alabama, but coach made the wrong calls. Remember, he tells the players what to do. I feel sorry for the players tonight. They did what they were told by a worthless coach, and it cost them the game. Love ya players. Hate ya coach.
You ding-dongs are either brain-dead or drunk!! If you want a bad decision, look at Saban calling for a FG with 4:25 left on the clock, that basically pulled his team to within 4 points. At that point, Saban had no clue D-Mac would not re-enter the game, because of the slight concussion he had just recieved. Why do you think our 3rd string RB was in the game? D-Mac owned the Bama defense at that time. If he was in the game on the Hogs next drive, we win this game easy. You idiots are convinced it’s all Nutt’s fault before the game even started, so go drink another beer and try and come up with another brain-storm about how you can blame the coach before the next game is played. Make sure that even though we win, you have a good aliby to put down Nutt.
