My Sunday Feeling

I got eyes and I got Facebook.

While I am pretty agnostic about all things Razorback, I follow them mainly because they are the only game in town.  That and nobody around here wants to talk about the Tulane Green Wave or the Hendrix Warriors.  

But I think I can safely say that yesterday's drubbing by the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers was the absolute nadir of Razorback football in my lifetime.  And I have lived long enough to be eligible for Social Security and have watched the Hogs since achieving what passed for sentience during my walk in this life.  

Let me count the ways of despair.  They were clobbered-as in never in the game- by a team in a lower division.  A team with a quarterback they ran off at the controls.  That lost to the effing University of Central Arkansas. At home.  On Senior Day.  If you can find a bright spot-or some sort of context even-please let me know.

They are now 2-8.  I don't think there's much chance of them beating Missouri here in Little Rock on their last game of this miserable season.  There is absolutely zero chance of them losing by less than 30 against LSU down there.  The oddsmakers say "pick 'em" against Open Date next Saturday.

I know.  Wally will grind his ax against the Chancellor of the University and that girl acting AD who snubbed him who hired the soon-to-be unemployed Chad Morris.  But who could have possibly seen this utter disaster coming?  Nobody.  That's who.  

Speaking of Facebook, my feed has been blowing up with calls for Morris's scalp.  Indeed, one of my regular correspondents-one who is not known for flat out making stuff up, which makes him unique in the world of social media,  posted this morning that Morris has been canned.  

As I type this my phone just buzzed.  Traditional news outlet KFSM up in Fayetteville just reported that Morris indeed has been canned thus confirming Facebook.  A first.

Assuming this is true, and I have no reason not to believe it, what now?

Who is going to take over this raging dumpster fire of a football program?  And here's something else to chew on, sports fans.  Everybody bitches about these long term contracts coaches get and the big fat buyouts they also get when they are canned.  Arkansas now has 2 ex-head football coaches on the payroll.  

What fool would take the Arkansas job without a whole lot of money and security?  

I guess we're fixing to find out one way or another.

News is coming in fast.  "I'll just hang up and listen,"  as the journalists and scholars on "Drive Time Sports" say.

This ought to be interesting.
