Let's get the party started — Arkansas season predictions

Arkansas — 2-10, 0-8 in the SEC
Aug. 30 Western Illinois Fayetteville
WIN — Arkansas opens season with big win

Sept. 06 Louisiana-Monroe Little Rock
WIN — Arkansas struggles at first but pulls away for win

Sept. 13 Texas at Austin, Texas ABC
LOSS — Hogs hit the road and get spanked by Texas

Sept. 20 Alabama * Fayetteville
LOSS — Hogs get 'Bama at home and lose as the defense can't stop the Tide

Oct. 04 Florida * Fayetteville
LOSS — Tebow doesn't play in second half as Gators roll to a blowout win

Oct. 11 Auburn * at Auburn, Ala.
LOSS — Casey Dick lost for the season due to injury. Arkansas lucky to leave the loveliest village on the plain alive.

Oct. 18 Kentucky * at Lexington, Ky.
LOSS — With Nathan Dick starting on the road, Arkansas loses its one winnable SEC game.

Oct. 25 Ole Miss * Fayetteville
LOSS — With emotions riding high, Ole Miss defensive end Greg Hardy ends Nathan Dick's game early and the redshirt is burnt on Tyler Wilson. With true freshmen starting at QB, receiver and running back, Houston Nutt doesn't call off the Rebs and Arkansas is humiliated at home when Nutt goes into the crowd and leads the Ole Miss band.

Nov. 01 Tulsa (Homecoming) Fayetteville
LOSS — With true freshmen Tyler Wilson and Jim Youngblood alternating possessions, Arkansas gets beat by bowl-bound Tulsa as its Arkansas natives take it up a notch to get the win.

Nov. 08 South Carolina * at Columbia, S.C.
LOSS — Spurrier saves his season with a big win at home.

Nov. 22 Mississippi State * at Starkville, Miss.
LOSS — Croom gets the better of Petrino's mostly true freshmen. Arkansas fans stop in Oxford and throw eggs at Nutt's house.

Nov. 28 LSU * Little Rock CBS
LOSS — The nation wonders why this game is on TV, then they realize they don't care because they get a chance to see LSU play.

Note: Arkansas fans will consistently blame Nutt all season for leaving the "cupboard bare" for the team's sorry state.

I think this will be as close to accurate as any prediction on the football season that you will read on the Internet.
