I sent Lanny a message last week and told him to delete my hogville account. I'm as far as apathetic to razorback athletics as I've ever been. I didn't watch the game Saturday. I opted for more constructive time like a date with the wife. As you can see, watching that game would have been a waste.

Winning talks. Until then, the program is dead to me. I'll cheer for them but nothing more. Nothing less.

I don't watch 1/2 of the basketball games, and I've attended a couple of Final 4's. One, they play 30+ of them, and they play the same way in 90% of them. I'll keep up every now and then on twitter, but it doesn't make or break my day, haha.

Winning or not date night with the wife would always trump the razorbacks haha....Easier than earning those same "points" for doing laundry or dishes ugh

Fire the women's coach too along with Anderson.

The women don't have a coach, they have a radio/tv announcer...

What do the "boys" have for a coach?
I think he should be a girl's coach because he sucks!

cuckoobird

At least he was coaching when he was hired. Maybe Rick Schaufer can be the next football coach, he's part of the razorback family. Jeff long, along with the other rich smart donors, is destroying the university sports program one hire and contract at a time.

And it is so hard to recruit to Fayetteville!  I say BS!
If it can't be done then let's stop spending so much money there!  There are other schools, D-1, in the state that would love to have some!

You guys don't be so hard on ole MA!  He is just filling a position and keeping the $ people happy by saying the right things!  "We are better and we don't need Dusty to score 20 in order to win, because we go better players"  Just seems to me that the Arkansas kids "that we don't get" keep coming back to stick it in our eye!

Lmbo.... His pre game speeches to fire people up would be like bed time stories for children with that guys personality.

I'm sorry, what's keeping them from raising their own?

Except this isn't even true for the U of A.... we are borrowing money from bond holder's to pay for the stupid end zone expansion. So we do not even raise our own money apparently. We borrow it...

1+ !!   Raised money in "real time" goes to help the U of A pay for inflated coaches salaries that exceed U of A salary caps, the rest coming from the Razorback Foundation.. The Foundation seems to be a puppet of the Board of Trustees and Long's decisions to pay crazy amounts of salary based on a rare occasion that a UofA team ends up high in the polls. Need more consistency and high top 20 ranking for 3-4 years to prove that "we are there" again. We are going down and not up, basketball or football. Something really wrong as other FF posters have said. I stand by a lot now and smile a lot more as each week goes by. First order of business is to evaluate the basketball assistant coaches and their ability to "coach" and "energize" and be "involved" for fans to see.

Uh, apples and oranges? Nothing is stopping anyone from issuing their own bond issue, except the ability to pay for it. The bonds are still being paid off by private funds, correct?

Jimmy Dykes officially out as women's basketball coach.

This would be what they consider a home run hire. Neighbors has a great track record. Led Washington to the final four last year. Made it to the sweet 16 this season. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Neighbors

Gotcha. I'm not familiar with women's coaches.

OB11

Didn't Washington have the girl that broke the scoring record?

Yeah, only a head coach for 4 years, but he did have Plum who was the scoring leader. He wanted it last time, but Long went with Sykes, that probably cost us $2M.......

The risk you take when you hire someone like Dykes without the experience at that level, no head coach experience and out of the game for a good while.  No, it doesn't mean it will not work but certainly it is a risk.
