Boston RedHogs- 12-22-2007
Okay, a loss to Appalachian State at home (basically) by a team dominated with senior leadership (or lack thereof) should be surprising, but I've almost come to expect it from this group.

What do you guys think it will take for this team to live up to it's potential this year???

This team is playing exactly like I thought it would. Just because they are seniors doesn't mean they're talented.

If they where so good don't you think some of the seniors would be in the NBA already. And better yet, do any of our seniors have NBA talent? The answer is no. Hill can't hit a shot futher than 6 foot from the basket and Townes, Ervin, Weems, and Hunter aren't anything special. They aren't as good as everyoned hyped them up to be. They don't play a lick of D, and can't make good decisions to their life.

The Razorbacks are senior loaded middle of the road team. Period.
But to answer your question, they will live up to my expectations and be a bubble team... they may not have the drama of last year but they just aren't as good as they where hyped up to be.

Gotta give them some time, they are still adjusting to the new system.

Sports Freak- 12-23-2007
Come on guys, new coach and new system, give them some time to adjust. At least we have a coach that does not put up with any crap, and does not let the players run the team. I am 110% behind him.


Boston RedHogs- 12-23-2007
I'm behind Pelphrey as well. You can't blame him for the season we are having thus far.

The only thing that bothers me is that this was a prime year based on scheduling to win 25+ games.

Not gonna happen now.......

All I know is if we lose to Kentucky again, I will cry myself to sleep much as I did when the football team lost to Bama this year.

Kentucky lost again today and the Hogs won by almost 30. Pelphrey will be fine. The players just have to adjust to his system.

If we lose to Kentucky something is bad wrong!

I believe they will finish third at best in the west and be a NIT team this year! sad.gif

Big win for the HOGS at Baylor tonight. Came back from 9 down to win. nearsports/clap.gif nearsports/razorback.gif
Arkansas 85
Baylor 78

I think the Hogs will be a good SEC contender this year. If Pelphrey keeps them working hard and playing good basketball they have a chance at winning the SEC and making it to the Big Dance. nearsports/razorback.gif

They have to beat an under-manned Auburn team tonight...at Auburn. Auburn only has 7 players right now, and their best player is out. ESPN2 at 8:00 pm. nearsports/razorback.gif

Big win for the Hogs nearsports/razorback.gif tonight at Auburn

Hogs get a big SEC road win tonight, not pretty, but a road win nonetheless.
SEC road + SEC refs = brutal! So, good win. nearsports/razorback.gif
