It was announced this week that the Razorback game in Little Rocknext weekend will Kickoff @ 11;20. A lot of tailgaters will not be happy.Here is this weeks haiku on the subject:An early kickoffTailgaters are not happyStart drinking early.

1. And the Arkansas RazorBlah Streak continues this week.After losing to Ole Miss, then playing the softest cupcake of the season, then an 11:21 a.m. kickoff (where both teams and the fans were listless through the first half), we come to the Troy game. Which falls on opening day of deer season (modern firearm) in Arkansas.Yes, yes, Troy is 7-2, 6-0 in the Sunbelt. The Trojans aren't as cupcake-y

Heavenly Father, we know that you have been busy this football season with more important things, such as teaching Bob Stoops lessons in humility and cheering on your favorite professional football team (currently undefeated), but we implore thee to now turn your attention to your favorite college football team's final three games.

Drinking the Kool-Aid Until the EndRobert ShieldsThe Razorback football game could not have started the second half any worse than what occurred Saturday. After South Carolina received the second-half kickoff, they went immediately to the air and tossed one for an 80-yard touchdown. Bang, that quick, the Gamecocks were back in front and in control 16-10.But a blown play in the kicking game can

Wait, the headline is wrong.Michael Dyer commits to Auburn in a Friday morning press conferenceSo there you go, Arkansas lovers, kool-aid drinkers and Nutt haters. Bobby Petrino loses, at least for now, the biggest in-state recruit. Will you now put Bobby P's head on a stick?The correct answer is, no, unless South Carolina wins tomorrow and then the grumbling begins!

It looks like Arkansas will make a bowl appearance this year. So I came up with the possibilities in a haiku:Shrevport or NashvilleBowl desinations for hogsWin out for Cotton.

1. Yet another "Most Important Game in the Razorbacks Season" is upon us. But does anybody care?Following that cupcake last Saturday (bonus points if you stayed for the entire game or even watched the entire game) and combined with the 11:21 a.m. kickoff, there is little to no buzz for this game. Perhaps it'll pick up by breakfast on Saturday. We'll see.This is actually a dangerous time for the

This could be a bonus-point bonanza week with four of the five games offering extra points to underdog winners. If all four bonus teams won, a 5-0 would be worth a 14-point swing to the lucky contestant. So can visitors 6-3 South Carolina and 7-1 LSU, or home teams 5-3 Stanford and the 5-3 Blackshirts (I love Brent Musberger but please don't let him call this game because he goes way overboard on

Road to Bowl Passes Through South Carolina DefenseRobert ShieldsWhat did we learn from the Eastern Michigan game? Joe Adams is back, and he is a huge lift to the team for the rest of the season. Eastern Michigan was not paid enough for that beating.The good coming out of the game is that the Hogs have pulled back to 4-4 and need only two more wins to go to a bowl game.

Or, more accurately, 33-20. And 401 yards of offense by Auburn against Ole Miss.I wonder if Nutt has any fingernails left after today?

Eric Sims and Chris O'Brien did not attend the Razorback game together Saturday. In fact, this footage that aired during tonight's game is more than two years old. Nice one, ESPNU. I guess if I commit a crime in Little Rock tonight I can use this footage as an alibi.

When USC visits Oregon Saturday (ABC/ESPN2, 7 p.m. central) the real battle will be on the sidelines. Have Oregon's cheerleaders overtaken the USC Song Girls to become the hottest in college football? And how is this possible in a dirty hippy town like Eugene? We can only hope that both squads have special costumes for their Halloween game. I suggest they all go as lesbians and put on a very

1. Last Saturday's Arkansas game was a debacle. No doubt about it.Having used their last emotional chip against Florida, the Arkansas players were spent. And, unlike the vast majority of Razorback fans, the players don't have a burning hatred of Houston Nutt from which they could have built up some anger before kickoff. The game exposed what might be a flaw in Bobby Petrino. After years of "

Traditionally in past years, the games for the week have been sent out on Thursday morning. But since there has been a Thursday night game in seven of the eight weeks so far this year, I'm just going to go ahead and keep the announcement day on Wednesday for the rest of the season for consistency, even on weeks when there is no Thursday night game –– like this one, which instead has three

Some random things from a Saturday spent watching college football.Numbers lie: Ryan Mallett might be the worst QB in the SEC. Here's why: Mallett's numbers are deceiving. Going into the Ole Miss game he had 17 completions of 30 yards or longer. Good, right? Well, here's where numbers hurt. The long completions accounted for roughly half of Mallett's passing yards for the season and always
