Hope for a Miracle

Hope for a Miracle

It is finally the Battle for the Golden Boot with the biggest point spread between Arkansas and LSU ever.  The FPI shows that LSU is the favorite to win by 42 points!! That means that in 10,000 simulations, LSU beat us by an average of 42 points.  If Arkansas were to beat LSU, it would perhaps be the biggest upset that Arkansas has ever pulled off.  I still do remember when Arkansas was in a similar situation in 2007 when we were playing then #1 LSU in Baton Rouge.  We beat them in overtime that time, but of course that was a way better team back then when the coach was Houston Nutt and Darren Mcfadden was making history.  But since we are using an interim head coach Barry Lunney Jr. and he is from Fayetteville and seems to be passionate about coaching with the Hogs, anything could happen.  But of course it is most unlikely to happen.  As the coaching search goes on, I am feeling good that our AD Hunter Yurachek could find the right coach for the program.  He found Eric Musselman for the basketball program and they are so far undefeated and looking good.  Just think if he found another Eric Musselman but for the football program!  

At this time as a Hog fan, all we need to do is just hope for a miracle.  Hope that we find the right coach to turn the program around and hope that Arkansas could at least give a scare to LSU.  But anything is possible.

Last week with my football predictions, I went 19-3 in college football and just 8-5 for the NFL.  Overall was 86.4% accurate for college football and 61.5% accurate for NFL.  Not to bad for my first time since football analysts on average get 60% accuracy.  Let's try again for this week and see if I can repeat this success!

If you are wondering why I picked Arkansas over LSU, it's just I'm trying to put faith into my Hogs and I just can't LSU over Arkansas. Why do I even make this blog if I don't support my Hogs.
