Arkansas won't blow us out, but they should beat us easily.

Forecast is 91 and partly cloudy for game time.

Thankfully no issues expected with thunderstorms.

Would've been nice to face Arkansas without Burks, but looks like he'll be playing.

All I know is I'm dang tired of listening to these ESPN Arkansas morons up here who keep saying "after all it's JUST Rice". If we don't shoot ourselves in the foot with mistakes we actually have a shot at winning

We need a win

Duh.

ESPN giving the Owls only a 5.4% chance of making that happen.

So there’s a chance?


Seriously, I think these projections, including point spreads and betting lines, are seriously biased by past history, and so I think we have a better chance than that. How much better? I don’t know.

If we don’t learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.

I don’t think we need to go in expecting to get beat.

In the particular case of Arkansas, I think the history shows we can win there easier than many other places.

In any case, a good attitude helps. But no, I am not laying bets at even money.

I think if I was a betting man I would take the points.

I’m hopeful, but not optimistic.

Don’t know how this hasn’t been brought up yet but they talked about the rice Arkansas game this morning on gameday. Most of the commentators seem to think we have a legit chance. Mention of McCaffrey as well…

Is Stanford who our offense is modeled from?

I hope not. K-State 14, Stanford 0 at the half

Why is the team wearing masks outdoors?

Ridiculous.

Green starting, McC in for third series.

How did Arkansas get into the SEC?? Shockingly poor atmosphere compared to the rest.

I'm gonna be honest, between losing Carroll (IMO the most important player on our defense) and this whole QB thing, I'm much less confident now than I was a few weeks ago.

Thee and out for UA

I'm just happy that a choice is available at QB.
