RAZORPOD crew hosts first podcast

Here's the link to the opening podcast. Podcast's will be posted here each Thursday. Be sure to check back in daily for commentary from the Razorpod crew. These guys are never short for words.

RAZORPOD opens season; LSU favorite to win the west

Last night, Razorpod, the popular podcast featuring a cast of characters as diverse as "The Sopranos" opened the season with a look at the SEC West. The podcast will be uploaded later this morning. But here are the picks:

Tom Logan a/k/a "The Reasoned One"
1. LSU
2. Bama
3. Ark
4. Auburn
5. OM
6. MSU

Johnny Fayetteville a/k/a "The Fan"
1. LSU
2. Arkansas
3. Auburn
4. Alabama
5. Ole Miss
6. Mississippi State

Patrick Williams a/k/a "All Business"
1. Alabama
2. LSU
3. Arkansas
4. Auburn
5. Miss State
6. Ole Miss (bonus pick-Orgeron out at end of season)

Jimmy G a/k/a "The Personality"
SEC West
1. LSU
2. Auburn
3. Alabama
4. Arkansas
5. Mississippi State
6. Ole Miss

As you can see, there's not much disagreement between this crew about the top or bottom of the west. The challenge lies in the middle. Are the Razorbacks strong enough to finish second in the west as Fayetteville and Williams predict? Or will they slide down to the 4 spot as Jimmy G argues? Only time will tell. But one thing is for certain, with the first practice scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, it's football season, baby!

The Razorpod podcast, moderated by Patrick Williams, will appear on this blog every Thursday. These guys aren't afraid of a special engagement which the time (or the sauce) allows, so be sure to check in daily for updates and comments from four inimitable Razorback fans.

Its Almost Time

After a long hiatus, Razorpod is swinging back into action. Football season is almost here, and its time once again to join the Razorpod crew for preseason picks and analysis. Look for Season 3 to start on Thursday this week.

Arkansas 88, #8 Alabama 61

Wow. Where's THAT team been all year and for the last 7-8 years? The Razorbacks blew out #8 Alabama at Bud Walton arena on Saturday in the most complete performance by a Razorback hoop team in recent memory.

Great job, Hogs. Next up is Florida in Gainesville on Tuesday night. Hopefully, FL will still be celebrating their football national championship and won't be ready to play!

Razorpod Cast Bowl Picks

Here are the Razorpod staff's bowl picks (against the spread). See how you stack up to the "experts." Remember, bowl pick season is separate from the regular season-no one can catch Patrick Williams as he has already won the regular season title.

Florida 38, Arkansas 28 SEC Championship

Arkansas fell to Florida in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta on Saturday night. The game was exciting and had many twists and turns. Hear all about it in this week's Razorpod, along with our Capital One Bowl preview.

Also, look for our bowl picks on this site later this week or early next week. Email us at razorpod@sbcglobal.net

Meanwhile, Razorpod will be on break until after the new year, when we'll be back semi-regularly to cover the Razorback basketball team. Until then, GO HOGS and beat Wisconsin.

Arkansas 31, Tennessee 14

Great Win for the Hogs...Jimmy G's trend of picking the opposing team seems to be working just fine. One more win to Atlanta!

However, can someone explain how the Hogs are jumped over by Rutgers? To quote Johnny Fayetteville:

Someone is going to have to get out their Big Chief tablet and big fat pencil and draw me a picture as to how Rutgers is ranked second by the computers, ahead of Ohio State. I just don’t get it. They have had a nice year, but this schedule doesn’t really set me on fire.


UNC (5 point win against a horrible team that is currently 1-9)

Illinois (convincing win against a 2-9 team)

Ohio (decent team. 7-3. Might win the MAC. Seriously, this might be their best win outside of the Lou)

Howard (Howard is 4-6 in the freakin’ MEAC. I don’t even know what the “MEAC” is)

S. Florida (7-3 in the Big East. Is that a great accomplishment?)

Navy (Service academy. Love the tradition. Very little talent)

Pittsburgh (Now 6-4, and Wannstedt’s porn stache is nosediving late in the season)

UConn (Last I checked, Ray Allen doesn’t play football. They’re 4-5, although they did beat Pitt by 1 Saturday)

Louisville (Big win.)



You can’t hate on Rutgers for their season. They have really improved. But is that the record of a national title team?


Check out this week's Razorpod (upcoming Wednesday) to see our thoughts on all the BCS craziness.

Arkansas 63, SEMO 7

Arkansas blows by SEMO 63-7. Darren McFadden scores a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. Enough said. Listen to this week's Razorpod to hear some about the SEMO game, preview of the Ole Miss game, and Jimmy Gee's hatred for a new coach (not Houston Nutt). Plus, Patrick Williams takes over sole possession of first place in the picks-and proceeds to give it right back by insanely picking Iowa over Michigan.

Also, the sleeper picks just get worse and worse: Patrick Williams: Vandy (over South Carolina); Johnny Fayetteville: Pitt (over Rutgers); Tom Logan: Colorado (over OU); Jimmy Gee: Stanford (over Arizona State)

HUGE Win Arkansas 27 Auburn 10

The Razorback football season took a giant turn for the better this past Saturday with an unexpected 27-10 victory over second-ranked Auburn on the road. Can the Hogs parlay this huge win into an SEC Championship Game appearance? Or will the inconsistency that has plagued the program rear its ugly head again? Will Houston Nutt get a bill from Auburn University for trampling their flower beds on the way to conduct the band with the fight song? Find out on this week's Razorpod.

A Little Off-Week Fun

 

Oh, this is bad....but so good.
