This season may hurt a bit.

Whew! I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t more than a little concerned about the fact that the Razorbacks came EXTREMELY close to losing their cupcake game to a “directional school.” This year’s supposed patsy, Western Illinois, gave the Hogs everything they wanted and more. It may be a long season.

Rebuilding years are tough. We have an exciting new coach and a lot of young, talented players, so the future looks bright for the years ahead. It’s just going to be a while getting to that point. Meanwhile, with arguably the toughest schedule in the NCAA including the top-tier of the SEC and old rival Texass (not a typo), this year is going to sting.
