A&M Wrap; Auburn Preview

JimmyG and Patrick Williams return from Iowa City on this week's edition of Razorpod, glad to have not witnessed even one play of the Hogs' 58-10 whitewashing at the hands of Johnny Manziell and the Texas A&M Aggies.  The crew, led by Johnny and Tom, details the loss and the crew has a spirited discussion of John L.'s decision to kick a field goal down 38 points.  The picks contest is shaping up to be a good one, with Johnny, Tom, and Jimmy G all tied in first place.  Patrick still well below the Mendoza Line and no amount of double-up-to-catch-ups will help him.

Rutgers Wrap; A&M Preview

This week's show talks about last weekend's Rutgers debacle and the upcoming visit to College Station.  We have more questions than answers at this point, but there are still a couple of diehard crew members that pick the Hogs.  John L's visit to the Touchdown Club is on the agenda as well as Patrick Williams and Jimmy G's upcoming road trip to Historic Kinnick Stadium.  Enjoy the show!

Jacksonville State Wrap; UL-Monroe Preview

The crew returns to action after Hurricane Isaac knocked out power at Studio Patrick Williams last week.  Picks are in, and everyone started off ok; PW brings up the rear at 3-3 while Tom Logan fires a perfect 6-0 out of the gate.  Jacksonville State brought home everyone's worst fears about the John L. Smith era.  Tom thinks Paul Haynes is hiding some schemes from Alabama; everyone else just thinks they aren't very good.

Historic War Memorial is on tap for this weekend, with UL-Monroe in town for their annual home game in Razorback colors.  The weather is going to turn a bit fall-ish and JimmyG will be making an appearance in the Rock.  Johnny has technical difficulties, but otherwise, things are looking up, so enjoy this week's show.

Petrino's Firing

The crew weighs in on Petrino's dismissal amid the Jessica Dorrell affair.  Has the 2012 season taken a terminal hit or can the Hogs salvage something from the disaster.  JimmyG and Johnny join Patrick on a Very Special edition of Razorpod.

Season Wrap; Cotton Bowl Wrap

The Razorbacks completed a Top-5 season with a 29-16 victory over Kansas State in the Cotton Bowl on January 6.  The Razorpod crew presents their season wrap-up show with a Cotton Bowl report, recruiting news, and a unique look at Hog Hoops.  Also on tap are Jimmy G's recap of the Bowl Pickem contest, in which Johnny posted the rare double win (regular season and bowl).

Tom Logan covers the mailbag and recruiting.  Good times ahead for Hog Fans.

LSU Wrap

The pod crew wraps up the regular season by discussing the Hogs' 41-17 dismantling at the hands of the LSU Tigers last Friday.  A disappointing end to a really good season, but there is still much to look forward to for Razorback fans.  The crew discusses the bowl possibilities; the various championship games, and Jimmy G picks Army for the 8th year in a row.  The picks contest is tied going down the stretch with Jimmy G and Johnny Fayetteville running neck and neck to the finish.  Patrick and Tom have been mathematically eliminated from contention, but that doesn't stop them from making garbage picks just for fun and games.  Enjoy this edition of Razorpod, and be sure to check back in TWO weeks for the bowl preview show.

Miss. State Wrap; LSU Preview

The Hogs are now 10-1 after this weekend's 44-17 defeat of Mississippi State in Historic War Memorial Stadium this weekend. With the victory, and the other upsets around college football, the Hogs have climbed to the unprecedented #3 ranking in the BCS. On this week's show, the crew discusses this week's upcoming national semi-final game against the LSU Tigers, the Hogs chances to play in the National Championship (yes, I am typing that with a straight face), and the ways the BCS dominoes have fallen just right. Other issues are the untimely passing of Hog TE Garrett Ueckmann, the picks contest, and the national media's perception that a rematch is not the right matchup for the national title game.

Ole Miss Wrap; Vanderbilt Preview

On tonight's Very Special episode of Razorpod, guest host Tracy from Tulsa joins the crew to discuss the HDN Special that went down in Oxford on Saturday.  The Hogs pulled out the 29-24 win over the Rebels, thanks to a late game interception and a tremendous second half.  After being down 17-0, Willy Robinson made halftime adjustments and the offense came alive.  The crew discusses why the Hogs start so slowly, whether the staff can start making better adjustments in the first half, and what needs to happen down the stretch to make sure we don't have a loss to an inferior team.  Picks contest remains static, and Johnny and Jimmy G rant about TV's influence on the average fan's college football enjoyment.

Auburn Wrap

The Razorbacks had a great 38-14 victory over the Auburn Tigers on Saturday, and 3 of the Razorpodders were there to witness it.  The crew discusses the win, and looks at the rest of the schedule for some rank speculation about the rest of the season's games.  Johnny F. opens a commanding lead in the picks contest, and yours truly brings up the rear.  Bye week coming up, but next week is HDN time, so we will have a preview show.  Enjoy the show, and enjoy the big win over Auburn.

A&M Wrap; Auburn Preview

Arkansas had a stirring second-half comeback to win the 3rd Southwest Classic against Texas A&M on Saturday.  Tyler Wilson had a school-record 515 yards passing, most of which went to co-SEC Offensive Player of the Week Jarious Wright.  The Hogs looked awful defensively, and committed far too many penalties, but took advantage of cautious Aggie play-calling down the stretch.

Next up is the defending national champion Auburn Tigers, with Arkansas products Kiehl Frazier, Michael Dyer, and Gus Mal-a-zahn coming to Fayetteville.  This game is a crucial one for the Hogs' SEC hopes, and a victory this weekend could really boost the team to a nice stretch run.  The crew spends way too much time in this week's show gloating over the A&M win, and fretting a bit about Auburn.  Picks contest remains pretty static, although JimmyG really came back to earth after last week's showing.

Troy Wrap; Alabama Preview

Troy gave the Razorbacks a scare in RRS last Saturday night, as the Hogs lost some intensity in the second half and let the Trojans get within 10 points before adding a Joe Adams touchdown.  Can the Hogs get that intensity back in Tuscaloosa this Saturday?  Will they be able to step up to the big time now?  Will Tyler Wilson be rattled against the top-flight Bama defense?

Special Guest Special K joins the crew for a "Very Special" episode of Razorpod.

SEC East Preview; National Preview; National Sleeper Picks

Does anyone really understand this????

Season 8, Episode 2 brings you the crew's SEC East preview show, including a preview of the SEC Championship matchups.  We also discuss the national college football scene, including previews of all the BCS conference races.  And last, but of course not least, we have the national sleeper picks.  JimmyG like Arizona State, Tom Logan favors Louisville, Patrick Williams says Syracuse, and Johnny Fayetteville likes Texas Tech.  As always, the National Sleeper picks are open for ridicule by any and all listeners.    Enjoy the show-next week is GAME WEEK!

Woo Pig SWEEEETT! Hogs Bound For the Sugar Bowl

The Razorbacks are bound for New Orleans and the Sugar Bowl vs Ohio State.   In this week's show, the crew talks about the Sugar Bowl, the matchup with Ohio State, and Petrino's contract extension.  JimmyG takes us rapid-fire through all the bowls, and Johnny has some choice words for the national media.  See ya in the Big Easy!

Arkansas Commandeers the Commodores; Steve Superior and the Gamecocks are Next

This week's show brings some A+ rants against ESPN, Boise, and Wally Hall.  Arkansas comes off a resounding 49-14 win over Vanderbilt in Fayetteville, but loses WR Greg Childs to a knee injury.  Next up is South Carolina, with freshman sensation Marcus Lattimore and Senior Stephen Garcia at QB, and the ever quotable Steve Spurrier on the sidelines.  The picks contest tightens up with everyone back within 2 games after PW's 5-1 week.

Alabama Heartbreak

A tough loss is dissected by the crew in this week's show.  Is the loss on Mallett or should it be a team loss?  The crew discusses and looks ahead to the rest of the season.  Does this loss put the Hogs out of the running for their goals this season, or can they still have a great season even losing to Alabama?  The answer may lie in what Alabama does the rest of the way.  Great national games to pick this week, but the crew is now 0-16 on sleeper picks.

ULM Wrap; Georgia Preview. Will we come through in a big game?

And now the fun starts.  UL-Monroe game at Historic War Memorial was too close for comfort for 3 quarters, so what does that mean for the next two crucial games?  In this week's show, JimmyG, Johnny, and Patrick Williams discuss who needs this win more, Georgia or Arkansas.  What are the implications for each team, and who can most afford to lose.   The crew is 0-8 through three weeks on sleeper games, which should surprise nobody.  Overall, though, the picks contest is looking good.  JF's audio is horrible...again.  We have it figured out now, so next week's show will really boost our average.  We are still Logan-less, but hope to have him back next week too.

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 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_09_22_09: Why Willy Didn't Change Schemes; Why Mallett Is The Real Deal

This week's Razorpod show asks a fundamental question: would you rather lose a shootout or a Houston Nutt-style defense/running game? The answer: A shootout, of course, as it is much more entertaining.

The crew spends a lot of time letting Willy Robinson have it for failing to switch schemes.  Truly, would Georgia have scored any faster or easier if we had blitzed every down?  Probably not.  Mallett is praised, yet some offensive shortcomings exist.  Should the Razorbacks have run more?  The crew thinks so.  Yes, Arkansas has a history of making stars out of journeyman players:  Exhibit 1-A:

The crew's pessimism abounds: Alabama is a unanimous pick.  The usual gibberish follows-pick contest gets wacky, Jimmy G posts a perfect record last week, and Patrick Williams' stay at the top is short lived.  Jimmy G actually picks a sleeper team that is not Wazzu, and more.  Enjoy.
