Intriguing game this weekend

[Snog]

Auburn at Arkansas. Auburn has for sure gotten better with the new QB, is their defense good enough?

I don't really have a take on this one other than lean to the home team.

What say you?

Had this discussion earlier, and I agree. It's going to be two teams fighting for their lives.

Ark (Bert) needs this game more than Auburn though. A lose here and they'll start to get restless.

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

Doesn't matter how restless they get or even if he loses out. They aren't buying that big *** contract out this year.

What's the number?

Buyout

What's the number?

15 million if they fire him at any point during the next 3 years.

I think Arky wins this one and sends Aubie into a death spiral. Without Lawson, the Auburn defense can't stop a running attack. Au may have a shot vs the black bears since the bears can't run the ball though.

It's not going to take many hits on the Au QB to have him crapping his pants either, plus the game is in Arky.

You are probably right about them not buying out the contract, but there is lots of Walton money in NW Ark. $15M is pocket change to that clan.

Exactly what I was thinking

It will be a great game in my opinion. All the fans here in Fayetteville are excited about this one. Apparently there's a 100% chance of rain Friday and Saturday so it will be a lot of running I believe. Whoever wins the turnover battle will probably win the game.

I think so too. Not impressed with Auburn's win at Kentucky.

 

[57stratdawg]

I agree, but an Ark loss means they'll struggle to get to 6-6 on the season. That was a fan base (unrealistically) expecting 8 to 10 wins.

I don't think it means much for 2015, but it will be "NOW" in 2016.

This is also Auburn's best chance to get to 6-6. Presume they will beat Idaho, they need one more with Arkansas, Ole Miss, TAMU, Georgia and Bama left. Even if the Hogs win this one and next week vs UT Martin, they still need two of Ole Miss, LSU, us and Missouri.

 

[patdog]

I see Auburn finishing 5-7. Although, the way Georgia is playing right now, they may have a chance in that one.

With the game being

in AR, I'm giving them the edge.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Man I hate auburn but I want Arkansas to have packed it up when we come there. That game scares me more than any game left on our schedule besides Bama
