Figured this would be easier to do than just make individual game threads.
We currently sit in 1st place, tied with App State. We are pretty good this year, just need to clean up penalties and coverage breakdowns. The Sun Belt is down this year so we should have a good chance to finish top 3. If we beat App State next weekend, we take the crown. Hopefully we'll be in Nola this December!

I personally like the Go Daddy bowl. It's better for recruiting because you play a better team and play later in the year and more times than not if a Louisiana sun belt team is eligible they will go to Nola.
I hope the Red Wolves do well. Contrary to what y'all may believe based on some things I've said, I don't hate y'all
Go ASU.

I'm with you 12th I don't want to see any in state team do bad.
I'm hoping/wishing that ASU somehow gets a Liberty bowl bid and plays Arkansas in Memphis. Wouldn't that be fun?
That would be the most awesome thing ever!

This could directly correlate to Arkansas State soon...

Is there a bowl where a sun belt team would play an sec team?
I don't think there is, Legend.
It would be cool to see those two teams matched up!
Buckaroo is correct; there is now Bowl that matches SEC and Sun Belt.
The only exception would be if a conference that faces the SEC or Sun Belt in a Bowl Game doesn't have enough Bowl eligible teams and a substitute team from a conference with more bowl eligible teams was used to fill the spot.
I pull for ASU cuz my good Friend Colton Jackson is on the O Line

To be honest they would probably sit at home and not go to a bowl at all rather than play that game.
They would be to afraid of losing. I remember when teh girls bball team beat Arkansas in the NIT. It was hilarious

Arkansas and Arkansas State played in the Men's NIT, as well, in 1987.
Arkansas won 67-64 after a furious comeback (A-State led by as much as 21 in the second half).
Too bad we will never see teh day they play!
Hope we get to the New Orleans this year.

Been to the Go Daddy bowl the past 4 years, played in the first one. Tired of Mobile! It's also on the day before Christmas eve, i doubt our attendance would be great.
A State vs Appy State game is on ESPNU
Red Wolves up by 10 with 10:17 left in the third.
Astate with the big win tonight against app state.
Just watched the highlights. Does anyone else think the Appy State end zones looked big?
State really showed out in the second half tonight. Good stuff. With their remaining schedule, they've got a good shot to run the table in the Sun Belt this year.
A State has really stepped it up. Looking forward to atleast watching one Arkansas team in a bowl game!

I'm pretty certain that all end zones are the same size!
We were impressive last night, especially in the 2nd half. 26 points unanswered points to begin the half
I'm not stupid. I was saying that they just appeared to be more than 10 yards. Probably just the fact that my eyes are bad. I was just curious if anyone made a similar observation.
A-State takes on ULM this Saturday. 2:30 kick off time. We should cruise in this one.

If they win the sun belt and ull gets bowl edible then ull will probably go to New Orleans bowl and asu will go to go daddy. Asu has been the past 4 years and have had very good crowds their so I would imagine they would invite asu back.

If you're asking about the school in Fayetteville, I'd think their best chance to meet up with ASU in a bowl would be in Shreveport. I'm not sure how many eligible teams the ACC will have and I think the Indy Bowl has contingent arrangements with the Sunbelt and C-USA. That does assume "Arkansas" wins one of its last three games and would accept a bid knowing the possible opponent would be ASU. The Indy Bowl folks would love it.
You know how many fans would show up to that game!
Wouldn't be surprising if arkansas declined the invite and stayed home if that happened...

Has AState clinched the title yet?
No app state and Georgia southern only have 1 loss. Asu has to win out to have sole possession of the title and can lose 1 game to share it and they hold the tie breaker over the other 2 teams
How many more games they have left?
Two more games and stAte is highly favored in both.

Go Running Joe!
The Wolves roll past New Mexico State 52-28. Fredi with 367 yards through the air with two TD's. He's vastly improved from last year with his arm. If he would have been healthy this entire season, we could have legitmately been sitting at 10-1 or 9-2 right now. I'm really hoping we get matched up with a good opponent in the bowl game. We are 100x better right now than we were at the beginning of the season.
With this win, we have at least a share of the conference title. With a win this Saturday against Texas State in Jonesboro, we win the conference outright and undefeated. Kickoff is at 2pm. Go Wolves!
GO ASU!
ASU beats Texas State 55-17 on senior day. Sun Belt champs with an undefeated conference record! Make it 4 out of the last 5!
We're also officially headed to the New Orleans bowl to take on La Tech. Should be a good one. Go stAte!
Way to go ASU!

Quirky part is the punter wears 28 too. They put Dixon's name patch on Henderson's #1 jersey. That seems poetic under the circumstances. (Henderson was hurt earlier in the game.)

Petrino really dropped the ball not offering Dixon early and pursuing him harder.
ASU defense was dismal in this game gave up close to 700yds., they've been fooled the whole second half
Why?
I thought you could leap, just not a push off leap, learn something new everyday.
Arkansas has other running backs just as good, if not better, than Dixon. We didn't need him and he didn't need us. Our RBs were fine and he got a chance to shine at LA Tech. Not sure why Arkansas should have signed him

Three of those running backs for Arkansas were seniors. Williams was the only returning back with experience. The other running back Arkansas signed that year was only at Arkansas for a season and finished his career at a division II school. Meanwhile, Dixon breaks records at Louisiana Tech. But of course, we didn't need him.
We didn't. I know y'all think that he's God's gift to the game of football, but Arkansas wouldn't have done any better with him. Sorry.
Stewie,
What is your problem? There is no question that Dixon would have been a significant asset to the Hogs the last 4 years. Would he have scored 87 TD's? No. However, he would have kept his nose clean and likely given us another consistent option in the backfield. Maybe you don't think we needed him, but he sure would have been nice to have.
I just don't understand why we are talking about it. Maybe I missed where somebody said Arkansas missed on Dixon or something along those lines, but most of what I've seen has been about how proud we are of an Arkansas kid achieving a record like that. You were the only one that has downplayed it and put him down (other than somebody quoting football frenzy from November). And being happy for a guy doesnt mean that they think he is God's gift to football. I guess I just don't understand looking to create an argument like this.
For what it's worth, I wish that Fredi Knighten and Kenneth Dixon were starting for the Hogs. However, I am proud of what both of them have accomplished at their respective schools.
Yes, you did miss it. Romeo has said it twice on this thread. I have no problem with Dixon. I'm proud that an Arkansas kid has done this well.

Only in response to your shots taken at him.
I'm glad that you are proud of him, but it just doesn't seem that way when your first comment is that it is easy to score a million touchdowns in that conference (even though he is the only one ever to score that many in any conference ever).
So proud of the Red Wolves and the exciting season they and the coaches gave us. All the fans I talked to said despite the loss at the bowl they are looking forward to next year. And of course New Orleans was a blast.
So here's to a howling good year for 2016!!!
