Five Things

1. And so now Arkansas finally starts the college football season. While the rest of the NCAA has played two or three games by now, the Razorbacks have yet to play a game. It's an odd bit of schedul ...

What? That Missouri State game counted!?! For reals? Learn something new every day.

Anyway, as I was saying ... we don't know anything about this Arkansas team. Despite that game two weeks ago.

Fanboi loosers are already saying this is the pivotal game of the season. Of course, they say that thinking Arkansas will win. And that always amuses me, because if it's a pivotal game and Arkansas loses ... well, they immediately deem the Alabama or Texas A&M or Ole Miss or Troy as "the turning point game of the season!"

Maybe, just maybe, we should wait until after the season to pronounce what game was the turning point of the year. Nah, that's no fun. Now for the pivotal enumerated point in this post ...

2. You know who most regrets Arkansas not having a football game last week?



3. How on Earth have no stories from the War Memorial Stadium tailgates made Deadspin yet?

4. Photo Whimsy!

Auburn fans are Michael Dyer (hit trolling!) stalkers and can't spell.



Naughty!



(I still like EDSBS's "Ginger Ninja" for Cox.)

Lose the game, win the tailgate ... with the coach's wife!



Ladies (or gentlemen with experience in such areas) can I get a ruling ... stripper shoes or not?

What's Spurrier going to do?



5. Recurring Items

M8B Prediction

Will Arkansas (currently a 1-point favorite) cover the spread against Georgia this Saturday?

Michael Dyer is Auburn bound. Don't be a hater.

I saw that fist bump at the end of the game. I couldn't believe those troopers would be so unprofessional.

As Robert Shields pointed out, Michael Dyer is not very smart to choose Auburn because of Malzahn. Either Malzahn is going to be successful and move on to a head coaching position, or he is not going to get it done and be fired. Either way, Malzahn won't be Dyer's coach for more than a year.
