I respectfully disagree that this won't give Arky an advantage. I think the extra week of rest and additional prep time for Bama will be akin to what Tulane had. That's two teams of our first four that had the week off before they played us. I don't like that, and it lends itself to a brutal SEC run for us.

YOu see, even if they don't beat us, ala Tulane, they still play the heck out of you. They hit harder, they zone in on your playcalling better, and they have more opportunities to make plays.

Arkansas has played us so close through the years, and have won against us more times than I like to admit. Any disadvantage I can hang on arkansas, I'd love to.

Admittedly, they are not the team they were a year ago, but this is just the break they need to get a chance to beat us. This officially sucks.

[QUOTE="ExiledTidefan, post: 441597, member: 14049"] I respectfully disagree that this won't give Arky an advantage.
