Razorpod 11-09-2009: Down Goes Carolina; Be Very Worried About Troy

Three-man booth this week with Tom Logan out on assignment. Johnny Fayetteville, Jimmy G, and Patrick Williams discuss the Razorbacks' 33-16 win over South Carolina, along with a game of "Quien es mas Impatient? Petrino or Spurrier?" Petrino wins in a landslide this week, as Twitchy Spurrier made an appearance in Fayetteville and his impatience really hurt the 'Cocks. Up next: Troy (formerly Troy State) the Sun Belt leader and a program known for knocking off the big boys. The crew thinks we better be ready to play this week. Bowl possibilities abound, and we'll see where we land in the pecking order.

Patrick Williams still ahead in the picks contest, but the Hawkeyes hurt (literally). Rest of the national games are about as expected, and JimmyG provides an on-site report from Wholesome Lincoln, NE. Patrick picks the game formerly known as the Sweet Sioux Tomahawk matchup, and much more.

Razorpod 11-03-09: Suck It Ron English; Does Spurrier know Arkansas is in the SEC?

Big win over Eastern Michigan last week, and the crew ridicules Ron English's post-game comments. Other than that, not much to complain about except whether Tyler Wilson is ready to step in for Mallett if necessary.

On to the Cocks. JimmyG speculates if Spurrier remembers Arkansas is an SEC team as he seems to have a vaguely puzzled/constipated look on his face whenever his team plays the Hogs. Patrick Williams again deems this week a MUST WIN, and for once everyone agrees with him.

National games are "meh" this week except for Alabama-LSU, and a crew member makes a surprise pick on that game. Sleepers are fun as usual, and Tom Logan utters more than monosyllables about the Big 10 for once. Enjoy.

Razorpod 10-28-09: Victims of an HDN Special; How do you spell Ypsilanti

Ahhh, the HDN Special. You know its coming, there's just not much you can do about it. In this weeks show, we discuss why Coach Nutt saves his best for the Razorbacks. Long discussion about how the season goes from here-the easier part of the schedule is coming up. Eastern Michigan next, and yes we know how to spell Ypsilanti.

Razorpod 10-21-09: Arkansas 20, Florida 16, Refs 7

This week's show gets the big issues out right away: exactly how much did the referees have to do with Florida's win against the Razorbacks? Johnny thinks a lot, Patrick thinks Florida would probably have won anyway; JimmyG says look at the game clock-Florida would have had a lot less time left if the penalties hadn't been called. Anyway, breaking news is that the officiating crew from the game has been suspended for a month. Not much help for the Hogs at this point, so Florida goes into the "moral victory" category.

Now on to Oxford and a meeting with JimmyG's favorite former Razorback coach. Johnny F and Patrick think this is a "must win" for the Hogs. Will this be a HDN special? Will Jevan Snead rise from the ashes of his Heisman campaign?

The usual gibberish on the picks-much love for the Hawkeyes this week, and the sleepers are not nearly as horrible as usual. Listen and enjoy.

Well, Thank Goodness That Got Straightened Out

The SEC came out today and admitted that the personal foul called on Malcolm Sheppard late in the Hogs' 23-20 loss to the Gators at the Swamp was "not supported by any evidence." This was the second time in as many weeks this particular crew was Monday morning quarterbacked by the SEC office for phantom flags. They flagged Georgia's A.J. Green last weekend for excessive celebration against LSU for, gee, I don't know . . . celebrating what could have been the winning touchdown? I mean, that showoff actually turned his head six inches to the right and looked at 90,000 Georgia fans. The nerve!!! Those yards gave LSU the ball nearly at midfield with less than a minute to play. At least they made them count. Both flags affected the outcome of their respective games. As to the myriad of other horrible calls, the SEC calls them "judgment calls" which they neither criticize or discuss.

Unless and until you pull games or suspend officiating crews, this is all hat and no cattle. The collective response from Athens and Fayetteville? THANK YOU, SIR! MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?!?!?

Razorpod 10-14-09: Auburn has skid marks (again); Florida looms

Well, the Hogs put together their most complete performance of the year against the Auburn Tigers last weekend. JimmyG, Patrick Williams, and Johnny Fayetteville discuss in this week's show.  Florida and Dr. Tebow looms, and while the crew is optimistic, realism sets in.

A bonus this week with JimmyG and Johnny opining about the atmosphere (or lack of one) at Hog games.  Break out the dream sequence as JimmyG goes back to the Barnhill Arena days, Jim Robken, and the "Go Hogs" Spellouts of his childhood.

Razorpod 10-06-09: Victory at JerryDome, Auburn Comes Calling

In this week's show, we discuss the Razorbacks' 47-19 win in the Southwest Classic over Texas A&M. Consensus is that it was a needed win, and could pay dividends for the future. Then we turn to Auburn, and the crew has some different thoughts on the key to the game. Is it the Hog offense vs. Auburn defense, or is it the Hog defense shutting down Chris Todd et al.? Or, depending on whether you ask Jimmy G, it might be special teams. Listen to find out.

Great slate of national games on the pick menu this week. "Shakeout Saturday" as dubbed by JimmyG is shaping up to be a ton of fun. Hogs on at 11:00 (not 11:30). Alabama-Ole Miss gets some significant discussion, as does Florida-LSU. Patrick Williams holds a slim one-game advantage, which will surely mean a debacle this week.

Razorpod 9-30-2009: Saban'd...and now Beyond JerryDome...

Ahh...the bitter taste of getting run out of the stadium on the road. We're trying to put the Alabama debacle behind us on this week's show. Up next, the Southwest Classic vs. A&M, a rival from the old timey-time days. The crew (sans JimmyG) talks about the upcoming game in the JerryDome, and really worries as we don't know what A&M is going to do vs. the Hog Defense.
