NFL bafflingfor Hogs

Each year, the NFL Draft's escalation/descent toward a more audacious and ludicrous spectacle becomes more obvious, but amid this backdrop of pomp and bluster is a troubling, inane trend.

The critical concern about Jonathan Williams is, in this columnist's estimation, the benefit he provides in the passing game. He's a far better receiver and pass protector than Alex Collins, but not as dynamic and elusive.

Time to dial back those unreasonable expectations you had for Arkansas football this year

Star University of Arkansas running back Jonathan Williams needs surgery on his foot, which will require him to miss an "extended period," Razorback head coach Bret Bielema said in a statement today.

Big questions for Arkansas football

When the last seconds of Arkansas's exceedingly dominant Texas Bowl victory over the Texas Longhorns ticked away just before 2014 went into the annals, the countdown to an otherwise undistinguished month commenced. No fan base has ever felt better about a six-loss squad that was about to lose three of its defensive anchors to the NFL Draft. The signs that the Razorbacks were reborn were abundant, strong and lasting.

Pearls About Swine: Hog bowl victory prelude to new era

Arkansas Razorback fans descended on the biggest Southern city with a force and fury that presaged the defensive effort that their beloved team thrust upon an oddly hapless Texas Longhorns team Monday night. Before a crowd of 71,000-plus that assuredly was the most zealous bunch to ever watch two college teams fight to clear .500, the Hogs simply overwhelmed the Horns 31-7 in the AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl and created immense buzz for a 2015 season that now, shockingly, can't get here fast enough.

Texas Bowl preview: Hogs over Horns

Bowl games run the gamut, from the oddball and uninteresting to the compelling and rich (hat tip to Ron Burgundy). It's hard to imagine how Arkansas-Texas in any scenario would be a yawner, and the AdvoCare Texas Bowl next Monday night is a sellout for the first time in the game's relative infancy, so the appeal is unquestioned from the regional assessment and even on a broader scale will be embraced.

The Black Lives Matter open line; a tribute to Razorback Jonathan Williams

Black Lives Matter proclaimed demonstrators across America today, in Little Rock. It's cause, too, for reflection on the "Don't Shoot" gesture of Razorback football player Jonathan Williams, a historic moment that deserves more credit than some want to give it.

Here come the expectations

The Bielema Bandwagon pit crew has done some hellacious work getting the wheels road-worthy again. Now it may take the installation of a governor under the hood to keep everyone rational after two historic, emotionally gratifying games have pushed expectations toward the stratosphere for the rest of the season and years beyond.

Full system breakdown

Arkansas did two positive things it had not done all year in an otherwise disgusting loss against Georgia inside Quigley Nouveau Stadium.

If Bret Bielema was terribly dejected by his Arkansas team's second-half showing against Auburn in the 2014 season opener, the ensuing three weeks of football prowess have likely done much to change his disposition.

A turn in the right direction for football Razorbacks

With a yearlong winning drought now a bygone thing, Arkansas had to take a quick "next step" back toward respectability.

Razorback season preview, part three

Two-thirds of the way through what the punditry expects will be another turbulent football season for Arkansas, Pearls has arguably applied a more optimistic sheen to things and projected a 5-3 record heading into November. To recap, we anticipate the Hogs will drop their first three rather brutal conference tilts against Auburn, Texas A&M and Alabama, but the slow scrape back toward the middle of the standings begins with a rousing win over Georgia in Little Rock and has the team buoyed for a big finish.
