EXPOSED...

 The PAC 12, the BIG 10 are not playing this year out of the POWER conferences.  As I have been saying for years we should leave student out of student athlete.  It's all about the money.  Why would any school risk playing sports when there is still a pandemic situation going on?  It's dumb.  I called a game on Friday, they have certain rules that spread out the athletes on the sideline.  WHAT?  The dumbest thing I have ever heard.  So, while they are spread out on the sideline they are face to face with the other team on the field.  It presents a HUGE problem.  You don't know the exposure of the other athletes that you are playing against.  Furthermore, the risks it has for that players family.  Example:  Let's say an athlete gets the virus and not knows he really has it, then he gives it to another player on another team, that player then goes  home and gives it to his sibling who in turn gives it to Grandma.  Grandma then dies.  Who bares that responsibility?  The schools do...PERIOD.  But, I would be willing to bet they won't say it's their fault.


Why play the game?  MONEY.  At this point there won't be a true champion because other POWER conferences aren't playing.  I do understand that athletes that have earned scholarships will be on campus.  However, there is no excuse anyone can give me that will risk the lives of anyone just to play a sport.  No matter how they minimize it, if there is a chance no matter how small, it's too big of a risk to take.  Most fans don't seem to care.  In their minds they won't sports at any cost and why not their family is not our there risking their lives.  Rushing things is not going to help and we have seen that this summer with the openings of businesses.  This is a terrible decision by the SEC driven by money and possibly put the basketball season at an even higher risk of not being played.  In my opinion, they should have waited until January and start with basketball.  Life is not worth losing over a sport. The NCAA and these Universities that have chosen to play have shown us what it's really all about.  The money because they sure as hell don't care rather these athletes or their families get exposed as long as the games are played.

Jets need Brandon Allen at QB: Why the Broncos turned to Brandon Allen as backup quarterback Allen, a 2016 sixth-round NFL draft pick from Arkansas, was picked up on waivers from the Rams

Image
I have watched this game tonight between Browns and Jets and I am convinced that the Jets who have gone through 2 QBs do not have legit QB on the team. Brandon Allen, Dak Prescott and Chad Kelly all have equivalent stats in SEC and got drafted same time.  I think if Brandon was with NY Jets he may be viewed as a star. It is 3rd qtr and no Jet QB has completed any pass beyond the line of scrimmage. Kyle Fredrickson, The Denver Post  Broncos quarterback Brandon Allen speaks to reporters on Monday, Sept. 2, after being released by the Rams and picked up by Denver. Allen will be starter Joe Flacco’s backup on Week 1 at the Raiders. By  KYLE FREDRICKSON  |  kfredrickson@denverpost.com  | The Denver Post September 3, 2019 at 6:00 am Brandon Allen described his previous 48 hours as a “whirlwind,” because he’s still spinning from a Sunday morning phone call. Allen, a fourth-year NFL quarterback released from the Los Angeles Rams on roster cut-down d

Gabe Osabuohien dismissed from Razorbacks

Razorback forward  Gabe Osabuohien  was dismissed from the basketball team on Thursday. Osabuohien, 6-8, 221, played 15.1 minutes per game during the 2018-19 season. He started in the last eight games for the Hogs, and the Little Rock Southwestern Christian product by way of Canada averaged 3.1 points per contest and brought down 3.2 rebounds. As a freshman, he played in 20 games and averaged 1.1 points per game for the Razorbacks.  Here is the official release from the UA:  FAYETTEVILLE  – University of Arkansas head men’s basketball coach Eric Musselman announced today that forward Gabe Osabuohien has been dismissed from the program.   “We have set a level of expectations for our student-athletes on and off the court,” Musselman said. “After discussions with Gabe, it was decided that it would be best to part ways.

THE REAL PROBLEM WITH HOGS BASKETBALL

 I posted another article about the basketball program and after 6 games I am still not impressed.  The 6-0 start and top 5 recruiting class has made Arkansas fans delusional.  But, that's how fans are.  Some fans believe if you are not bragging about the program or always thinking positive you can't be a fan.  Newsflash, it's okay to tell it like it is and still be a fan.   The real problem with the Hogs??  The inside game or rather the lack of is going to be a big problem for them.  Yes, folks that's the same problem they had last year.  Did anyone watch them play against UCA?  They got out rebounded by a team that won't come close to winning their own conference.  You heard me right.  Out rebounded by a Southland Conference team. The biggest problem last year was lack of size.  And once again it's the same problem again this year.   There are many fans that are so excited and actually believe that Muss is doing a great job.  My question is how?  There argumen

Hog O-line ready to make big push in 2019

Splitting the team up on two different fields for approximately half of practice would not have been possible last year due to the low numbers along the offensive line, but the numbers are a lot better now. Second-year Arkansas head coach  Chad Morris  chose to use both practice fields with the first and third units on one side and the second and fourth units on the other. This enables all four quarterbacks to see a significant number of reps and for younger players -- especially the highly coveted freshman class -- to show what they can do without ever having to say they did not get enough opportunities. As for the OL, they are still shuffling and trying to find the right mix. The starting defense has gone virtually unchanged practice after practice, but that has been far from true with the offense. Arkansas opened camp with 16 scholarship offensive linemen, but they lost one on the first day in  Noah Gatlin  with a torn ACL. Gatlin was competing with sophomore  Dalton Wagner fo
