Beware of the August confidence bubble

FAYETTEVILLE — Confidence is high in this bunch of Razorbacks.

It’s high everywhere in the month of August.

Even lowly Florida A&M gets on that long bus ride next week thinking they can shock the football world.

It’s the return of the August confidence bubble.

The bubble works like this, when you are focused on one thing for several weeks and paying no attention to the outside world, a football team loses all sense of perspective.

No idea that the teams with more talent are “getting better” too.

So how far is the gap?

Is it any narrower now then last season?

There is no way to answer these questions today. No predicting talking head or scribe in the preseason magazines has a clue how it is going to all play out.

Except for Phil Steele, its spooky how good that guy is at predicting things.

All I know is to sit back and buckle up for one of the most unpredictable Razorback football seasons we have seen in some time.
