LAS CRONICAS LOCAS DE BOSS HAWG!

Someone from the Arkansas AD’s office leaked the cell phone number of Frank Broyles onto an Arkansas message board; numerous angry Hawg fans, from the Pro-Malzahn and Pro-Nutt camps are calling him.

Somehow Wal-Mart shares will plummet because of this.

Malzahn was Dicked over by Nutt, runs to Tulsa to for new Spread.

“Oh, I wish I had a pencil thin mustache.”

Nice titties Mitch. Wait! Those look familiar.

Ah yes, those are your mom’s. The one’s you can’t pop out of your mouth just yet.

Es un candelabra precarioso!

Would you say they have a plethora of problemas at Arkansas?

Si, El Guapo. A plethora.

And thats a fine way to get back into the swing of it after 3 days off.

Cerveza for everyone!

it would appear that Nutt is hiring another offensive coordinator in coming days, most likely David Lee of the Dallas Cowboys. Loyal followers of Las Cronicas Locas De Boss Hawg will remember David Lee and David Cutcliffe as being Nutt’s first two choices for the OC gig last year. Perhaps they will even recall David Lee’s role as QB coach to the frightened deer that was Matt Jones for his first two years on campus.

I want a David Lee Roth 401k.

I couldn’t remember the Spanish phrase for “rabid weasels” either.

How Nutt wins with what seems from afar as total chaos I have no idea. It strikes me that they have to have a Dallas Cowboy still “White House” or “Boar’s Nest” to keep all the Hawg players minds calm and focused. Thoughts?

McFadden, McFadden, McFadden. With a sprinkle of Monk.

That’s how he does it.

The David Lee Roth 401k isn’t performing nearly as well as it was 25 years ago

Tulsa in the top 2 stories on EDSBS…. It warms the cockles of my heart.

this works at florida as well. those in the know know that mr. tebow was hired as foley’s fluffer last fall.

“Those in the know know that mr. Tebow…” can sew while he mows with his friend named Moe over a cup-o-joe in Idaho.

How could you do that to me? Now I can no longer get the vision of Catherine Zeta Jones out of my head without thinking of Mitch Mustain. You guys are sick…

…I say some restitution is owed to us. I think we can settle for a case of XX and a cheesecake photo from Las Mujeres de Univision.

El senor cojones los tienes muy grande…No?

HootenDale is a sad little man. Hired an OC to keep his job then grew insanely jealous when said previous OC gets some early recognition so he shuts the offense down mid season. In ‘07, look for Mcfadden up the middle 30 times a game til he gets hurt, then everyone must beware the barrage of safe passes to the fullback and draw plays on 3rd and 17 to 5’7" scatbacks and other increasingly miniature players.

¡Ay, naranjas en la cabeza!

We did enjoy our brief visit to the upper tier of SEC football.
Now it’s back to Fear the Commodores.

So you put a picture of Mitch in drag and then there’s an advertisement for U of Arkansas Gay Policy at the bottom.

Orson, do you know something we don’t?

At the risk of being too serious, I don’t get the Malzahn fetish. The Hawgs were marginally better on offense this year, largely because of McFadden’s super-human talents, but where they really improved was on defense. Still, that’s probably where they most need continued improvement to take the next step up.

The 2005 team gave up 24.6 ppg (54th in the country) and ranked only 49th against the pass.

The 2006 team gave up only 18.9 ppg (24th in the country) and was 18th against the pass. I gather that that Arkansas defense was suspect against the fastest and most talented teams (USC, LSU, and Florida) but pretty much lights out against everyone else.

Even in the LSU and Florida games, I think the Piggies scored enough points to stay in the game had the D been better.

If I were an Arkansas fan, I’d be a lot more concerned about continuing to improve the defense. The other thing I’d worry about is turnover margin, which has been negative for the past two seasons in a row. How they managed to win 10 games with a negative margin is beyond me.

Beck Campbell is probably having an aneurysm as we speak.

LSU has hired Gary Crowton, former OC of the Oregon Ducks…the uniform possibilities are endless.

From my point of view Malzahn isn’t seen as a savior or anything like that, rather Nutt refused for years to get an OC and the offense was fairly unproductive and very predictable. Under pressure he hired Malzahn and while he wasn’t solely responsible for the good season, he certainly helped bring some excitement to that side of the ball. I doubt McFadden and Jones would have put up the numbers they did with Nutt drawing up and calling the plays. From mid-season on, the play calling got more conservative each game, and whether true or not; the offensive play calling seemed to regress back to the signature Nutt days and away from the scheme that produced 10 wins, even without a productive QB.

Now due to a power struggle, personality conflicts, or whatever; Malzahn bolts from US to Tulsa, for at best an equal position, for the same $176k/year.

I expect the Hog O to regress, even with McFadden and Jones and Monk; and the Tulsa O to become more productive.

Solamente me dos centavos.

Groves is coming back for his senior year!!

And Paul Finebaum is supposed to be unbaised when dealing with Auburn and Alabama football, not siding either -

Heck, I’m looking at the last three games of the season (all losses), and still don’t see the basis for most of the complaints.

Again, just glancing at the stats and remembering back to what I saw of the games (not a lot), it looks like the Hawgs were at a significant speed disadvantage against UF and LSU’s skill players. Meanwhile, your best athlete is clearly McFadden. Playing ball-control while still putting up 26 and 28 points in those two games was probably your best chance of winning.

I did watch most of the Wisconsin game, and I still have no idea how the Pigs lost after completely stuffing the UW run game and actually winning the turnover battle. You would likely critcize stodgy play calling, but when the run game is generating 6.8 yards per carry, I’m not sure I’d get away from that too much.

The one extra thing to have done would have been to take a few more shots down field off play action. (I tend to look at yards per attempt as my measure of passing efficiency, and Dick’s ypa in that game was dreadful.) Even in a 60-40 run-first offense, you can make your passing game productive if the QB is confident enough to throw down the field occasionally. (See the Steelers in the NFL for a good example.) Whether that’s an issue in Fayetteville and whose fault it is, I will leave to you.

the biggest issue with the Wisconsin game was the same issue that plagued us against LSU and UF, an unproductive passing attack. If Arkansas qbs are able to hit 55% to 60% of their passes in those games, the Hogs were likely to have won. Having a badly dinged up McFadden against the Badgers didn’t help the cause either.

I never bought into Malzahn as the savior of the offense. He became the OC only after two others turned the job down and with the added pressure of landing the Springdale prospects. Gus is surely a smart guy on offense, and I expect him to shine at Tulsa where you can more readily run his style of offense. It’s a perfect fit for him. If David Lee is brought in, I’m not sure that we’ll see that much of a drop off in production offensively and Lord knows the QB/WR play couldn’t get any worse.

Agreed, the QB play was pretty deplorable. Whether is was Malzahn or some other OC, somebody other than Nutt needed to have a say in the offense.

So tell me, what would force an OC to leave after a very successful first year, to a less prominent program, for the the same position and same money?

Good on Tulsa.

When will Springdale officially secede from Arkansas?

A burb of Ok City.

Absolutely the Hogs needed some offensive input from someone new last year. The ideas that Malzahn brought with him were invaluable, but I think anybody who knows the program knew that Arkansas would never (esp with HDN) be a no huddle spread offense. Especially not with Humanity Advanced and Felix available to you. All coaches have egos and Nutt’s the head guy and gets to have the bigger ego so what he wants is going to take precedence over what his OC wants. Thats what seems to have happened here. And now Nutt is apparently getting the guy he wanted to run the O last year.

I think Tulsa is just a better situation for Gus. He’ll have the control he wants, the ability to run the offense he wants, and he’ll be removed from having the Springdale drama in his face daily. A place like Tulsa is a far better situation to get your feet wet running the attack Malzahn wants to run. If he’s as successful there as some folks think he will be, then perhaps someday he’ll find his way back to The Hill.

“As always, the only certainty on the hacienda is…PASSION!”

I find this interesting, based on opinion of Senior Swindle that “Passion = Stabbing”. If I were associated with Arkansas football, I’d be watching my back 24/7 from now on to make sure I don’t get slashed!

Good points Chris, and I think GM will do ok in Tulsa, might well be a better fit for him. No grudge against him from my end.

The new OC in AR (assuming they hire one; maybe a dicey assumption), I wish him well as he has some talent to work with. We’ll know fairly early next year who’s calling the shots on the offensive side of the ball.

It sounds as if they are definately hiring someone, most likely David Lee. However, if Parcells decides to stay in Dallas and wants Lee to stay with him (Romo loves Lee) then the Hogs will be looking elsewhere.

Apparently Nutt and Larry Coker go way back, but that seems EXTREMELY unlikely.

Rabid weasel is comadreja rabiosa, but it just doesn’t have the same flow in Spanish. Can’t think of anything better off the top of my head.

Tulsa will be greater than U of A

Here’s a offensive guru looking for work

Coolhand
If Mike Shula wins the superbowl next year, that would be the equal to the cats balls!

AUalum, when Finebaum isn’t kicking one program he’s kicking the other. His column today is just taking up the space it is alloted in the newspaper. Nothing more. Right now he’s riding Saban’s tip along with the rest of the Bama faithful and faulting Tuberville for winning five in a row against Alabama without a good coach. The shame!

Please Please Please can we have regular updates of this gripping saga! Great, Great, Great post.

And Mustain has just been granted his release…
