Going into ARKANSAS in 2010 hard to believe we were 10-1!!!

At that point our only loss was to AUBURN by only 7 points. An AUBURN team that had HEISMAN Scam Newton running wild over the whole country and would soon be raising a BCS NATIONAL TITLE. We also beat Bama that year. The great Deangelo Peterson Tight End Reverse Call. We had such a stout defense that year. DRAKE NEVIS up front creating constant Havoc. Kelvin Sheppard with over 100 tackles in the MLB and Patrick Peterson Ball hawking in the secondary. The freshmen class I believe had REID, MATHIEU and SIMON. Mingo and Montgomery were up and coming sophomores.

Arkansas was good that year. I think they went on to play OHIO STATE in the Sugar Bowl. Still I think we should have beat them that year. That was a very tough loss. Who knows what could have been if we win that game and are 11-1 with only loss to Auburn. We would go on to destroy Texas AM in the Cotton Bowl. Maybe we were looking ahead that game when we played Arkansas. I don't remember much of that game honestly. Just remember it being a game I thought we should have won and were the better team. Goes to show you gotta be prepared to get ARKANSAS's best shot. This game this weekend is HUGE. Hoping Coach Kelly has this LSU squad ready to take care of business and have no letdown.

GEAUX TIGERS!

Agree. I hope we can avoid the letdown and play up to our potential.

I gotta be honest, I didn’t see a 10-1 start coming after that opening UNC game.

Karnell Hatcher almost singlehandedly cost us that Ark game. When he collided with the other DB on that crossing route their WR Cobi Hamilton ran, it sounded like a 30.06 went off. If that doesn't happen, the entire game is different. I knew it was over on that play.

Les, and Bobby Petrino won’t be on the sidelines this year.

I watched that game at the Hard Rock in Universal Studios. I was absolutely confident we would win.

We should have played OSU in the Sugarbowl. What a travesty.

Now that's got me thinking about 2010 2011, and 2012. Three good years with great moments that ultimately ended up just short of greatness.

That was the game where on 2 big plays for Arkansas Karnell Hatcher TKO's his own man and the Receiver runs free. One right before half was a back breaker!

Frankly this season does not seem like any of the past 15 years.

We are now playing a well coached game and not resorting to tomfoolery or trick plays. As long as the kids execute at the level they have been at, sky is the limit. Only way they are losing is if there is a talent gap between the teams and I don't see that with this Hogs team!

The difference between 2010 and 2022 is that Arkansas was actually good in 2010. Those were some of Arkansas’s better football seasons.
