I agree. And my point, which I think you also agree with, is that big wins like this don't matter if there's no championships to follow. They just keep coaches with empty trophy cases around longer.

Now for a rebuilding program like Arkansas, it's different. Big wins like this build momentum to continue the rebuild and improvement. Since this is your four, we shouldn't still be in rebuild mode; however, if we win this game and get a top five recruiting class due to the positive momentum, then I will feel a slightly better about this program's direction even if we don't win the SEC this year.

All of that said, I have as much confidence in Mullen as you do, and I'm not holding my breath. Last year's team, should have been very special, and he blew it. So far, there's no evidence that he's learned from any of his mistakes.

that's really too bad because we don't have much run defense without him. Good thing it's just bama.

I struggle to think of any one player we could less afford to lose due to lack of depth at the position. obviously AR would be more important if we had a coach that played him. but that's about it.

Now comes the price to pay for recruiting nothing but microdefensive ends/ blitz rush specialists and safeties to play linebacker.

And the price of hiring your buddy the Graduate Assistant instead of a real linebacker coach.

I feel like Hopper SHOULD be the backup middle linebacker. He is the only real linebacker in the group... but of course he hasn't been on the field because we're still trying to convert safeties instead.

The Diabate and Moon **** show will be interesting. No offense to those guys they're both talented, and it wouldn't surprise me if they have careers in the NFL as outside linebackers. we just don't play it outside linebackers.

Alabama's guards are going to be eating them like snack cakes.

let the excuses begin.

Oh I fully agree Mullen would piss it away by losing to Missouri or something, but boy would I enjoy the win anyway. I'd be dancing.

Back when freshmen couldn't be on the "varsity", we had a separate "Baby Gators" team of only freshmen. I watched one Friday afternoon when Baby Gators vs Baby Bulldogs played (back n '62-'63). The Gators lost their 4th fumble. As they tried to trot off the field, the coach waved them back on. (you broke it, you fix it). Next play, the bulldog RB got smashed to smithereens by our RB turned LB. A guy named Larry Smith.
