1. The wailing and gnashing of teeth you heard last Saturday was from Arkansas fans. Seems Alabama knows how to play some defense, and therefore shut down Ryan Mallet (aka the only SEC QB less mobile than a potted plant).
But it's odd there was such a commotion over that loss.
Did anybody really think Arkansas had a shot at beating Bama? And by "anybody" I mean "rational-thinking people who don't drink whatever flavor Kool-Aid is being served by the homers on the hill."
Arkansas is 1-2, with a lousy defense. An A&M team that loaded up on cupcakes so sweet it'd put every person in Cowboys Stadium into a diabetic coma looms on Saturday. Beat the Aggies and Arkansas is back on track for a 7-5 season and minor bowl game. Of course, given that defense, anything is possible ... including a loss Saturday.
2. The key to South Carolina's victory against Ole Miss ... The Nay-cha Boy!
3. Well, it is the medical term for it ...

Will Arkansas (pick 'em) beat A&M at Jethro Jones' boondoggle of a stadium?
