Arkansas' first 10 points in the Liberty Bowl were against the run of play. Obviously, since interceptions played a role.
The Razorbacks were absolutely man-handled by ECU on the lines. Petrino's recruiting needs to focus on bigger, stronger players on the OL and DL.
2. Who knew Memphis could double for Hoth? I'm pretty sure I saw a Razorback fan slitting open a tauntaun to survive.
I was disappointed there was no snow. After all, bad weather + football = awesome. (See Sunday's Colts at Bills game for proof.) How cold was it? So cold it cracked my Jeep's windshield.
3. Was anybody else skeeved by Eddie Money singing "Two Tickets to Paradise" to preteen cheerleaders? I kept waiting for Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC to walk onto stage. And did anybody else laugh at this exchange ...
Money: I just love this country!

4. Ryan Mallett needs a Crash Davis to teach him cliches for interviews.
Following the game, he behaved like a petulant brat during the press conference. First, he gave a condescending "You'll be the first to know" answer when asked about the NFL. Then, when Petrino was being asked about the offense's troubles against the ECU defense, Mallett rolled his eyes, shook his head, rolled his eyes again and then fixed a "go to hell" look on the reporter asking the question.
5. Is I-40 in West Memphis ever not under construction?
Thanks to d-bag drivers who rushed down the left lane, right up the barrels, before merging. Traffic was stopped and crawling before the dog track. Merge early and everybody can keep moving. Merge late, and you screw it up for everybody.
Then somewhere east of Little Rock, traffic stopped again. This time, rumor has it, for a wreck on the White River bridge near Devall's Bluff. I jumped off I-40 at Hazen and took backroads to North Little Rock. More scenic, but thanks to the delays it turned into a 6-hour drive to Fort Smith.
Next time, I have to remember to leave Memphis the same time as every other fan who lives west of the Mississippi River.

I had the same thought about the scantily clad junior high girls dancing to "Two Tickets to Paradise." And why couldn't those girls wear something other than those short-shorts and skimpy shirt in weather cold enough to crak a windshield?!?!
No, I-40 near Memphis has never been in a state where it wasn't under construction. It took me an hour to drive from Memphis to West Memphis and then another 30 minutes waiting on my order at the West Memphis McDonald's.
As a friend of mine said, "How you gonna have a bowl and only have one lane of traffic open?"
I waited in line at the McDonald's after the game for about 20 minutes and the car never moved.
The West Memphis McDonald's was selling the McRib, so it seemed like the wait was worth it, but then we gave up and left.
Ended up buying candy — orange slices! — and snacks at the Pilot with the Wendy's in it.
Traffic wasn't bad back to Little Rock after the game.
