Things I think I know: Week 10

It was an interesting weekend on the hill yet again.

Published

It was a win.

It was not a victory.

The latest in a long line of embarrassing Razorback football performances came on Saturday when Arkansas squeaked past Coastal Carolina by one point on homecoming.

I think the Bielema era is over, its all up to the lawyers now. He is the wrong man for this job and fans are furious.

Fans own the Razorbacks and deserve much better then this.

I don’t blame the players, it is mostly the fault of the group of buffoons that are in charge of the players. The team is put in a position to fail week after week after week and somehow, they have overcome their coaching and won the last two games.

Players deserve all the credit for that and the grownups deserve none of it.

The biggest example of this coaching staff’s indescribable incompetence is the case for T.J. Hammonds. He is the most explosive athlete on the entire roster and he hardly gets off the bench.

Bielema was quick to puff his burly chest out saying that he wanted him to get the ball more but why did it take so long to get him back in the game?

If T.J. Hammonds had been in the 2nd half sooner, Arkansas would have blown the doors off Coastal and we would not be as torqued off as we are today.

But when people who do not know what they are doing are in charge of the organization, this is what you get.

It also should be pointed out that the fact that Austin Allen did not come into that ballgame when it wasn’t going well should be a sign that he will not play again. If the offense was struggling, why not pull Cole Kelley and bring in the experienced vet who could save the day?

When people who do not know what they are doing are in charge of the organization, this is what you get.

Arkansas football looked unprepared, lazy, sloppy and slow against one of the worst football teams in FBS.

It’s nothing new. Bielema’s group has looked that way since last year.

When people who do not know what they are doing are in charge of the organization, this is what you get.

Ever since he got that TV show, he has not been the same guy. I do not know if one thing had anything to do with the other, but it is the crystal clear line of demarcation from when this program was doing pretty good to the septic tank the football program is living in right now.

What is Jeff Long going to do next year when his fancy remodeled stadium is half empty?

(Except for those fancy new seats in the north end zone that are sold out.)

There are a lot of other things that happened this weekend that I would normally write about in this space each week, but I just don’t have the zeal for it today.

I am so furious about the health and well being of the football program that is owned by me, you and all the fine fans across this state.

Bielema and his amazing coaching staff ruined homecoming.

Do you know how impossible that is to do?

There was a wrestler that had a catch phrase that is more then fitting for where this football program is today.

“Enough is enough and it’s time for a change.”
