Since Robert does it, I guess I will too

Stop kissing up to Chuck Barrett. Don't forget this is the same guy who badmouthed you on the radio. I am interested to hear his style calling football games. I'm just not excited about it as of yet.

I think Arkansas will be 11-1, possibly 12-0, and there is no way Alabama beats the Razorbacks this year.

Also, for those who don't know, Scott Faldon is a Heisman voter, so I guess he knows what he is talking about there. But I still think McFadden will win it, though you are right about that offensive line.

Not kissing up. I really do think he'll do a fine job.

Honestly, I think Harry King nailed it a few months ago when he wrote the radio pbp man is practically a non-factor these days with all the games on TV.

I don't know, lots of people I know put the Daves on mute to listen to ARSN.
Of couse I find watching JP's broadcast to be a distinctive southern form of self flagellation.
I also think Arkansas has a very good chance of 11 or 12 wins this season. But that number also includes the bowl game.
I love me some Vols, but they are criminally overrated. And winning on the Hill (what Knoxville is known as) isn't as hard as it used to be. I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see Arkansas roll into LSU undefeated. But then lose and that keeps them away from the SEC championship game.
And I hate the Piggies, as much as I despise the Cardinals.

Sorry to throw a dose of reality on you crack-smoking hog lovers, but there's no way Arkansas wins 11 games. I'll give 'em 9 at best, becuase McFadden can't run every play. He will, however, definitely be the Heisman leader through the first 7 or 8 games and should still have a shot to win it even after the late losses to UT and LSU.
