Josh Pate On Arkansas & Sam Pittman In 2024 (Late Kick Cut) 

I'm a Arkansas fan but that dude should have saved that comment. We have done nothing to be talked about. Come on dude. Thanks Josh for talking about us though. It took a dumb comment to be spoken about

Your point is well taken. We Hog fans do not know what to expect from the coming football season. I attended my first Razorback game in 1965. Ark vs TCU. Am lifelong fan. Have got to the point I ignore preseason hype. I simply wait for the games to be played. I now take all wins or loss in stride. But I never stop loving the Arkansas Razorbacks. Fortunately for me, I am a baseball fan. Hogs doing well on the diamond.

“he specifically doesn’t need to go back down those roads” 🤣🤣🤣 1:10

Josh, next time you’re in Fayetteville, you have to go Hammontree’s down on Dickson! They make some of best and unique grilled cheese sandwiches!. I first heard about your love of grilled cheese during the Great Taziki Grilled Cheese Fiasco of 2023. I wish I could’ve told you about Hammontree’s when you visited in 2022.

#1 Rule as an Ar fan: never get your hopes up. It's a curse that'll bring the opposite results.

What Josh said, in a nutshell, is that there are so many "ifs" about the Arkansas team, that we will not know the answer till we play the games. Those of you who read the comments first, I just saved you 5 minutes and 47 seconds of RU-vid watching time. BTW, the same comment applies to every team in the country - we don't really, really know what they have till they play the games.

The problem every school has is this: how do you get players to come to your university? - Can you throw a lot of money at them? - Are your facilities better than your competition? - Are you in a superior conference compared to your competition? - Are you a national brand? - Are you the flagship university in a talent-rich state? In the case of Arkansas, they can't throw around a lot of money, their facilities aren't better than their competition, they're not a national brand on the level of Notre Dame, and while Arkansas is the flagship university in its state, Arkansas isn't particularly talent-rich. Before 2012, they could poach kids out of Texas and Missouri by simply being an SEC team, but with the addition of A&M, Mizzou, and now Texas and Oklahoma, that window is basically shut. Until something in this formula changes, the expectations for an Arkansas year should be a winning season with hopefully a big scalp or two.

As always, great take Josh. Feels like you nailed our fanbase's feelings on this pretty well. Also, I read everything into what Trey Biddy says. The guy only communicates in code.

If Petrino has 100% control of the offense, I can see a 8-4 season similar to 21. Bowl game or fire Pittman.

Josh clearly considers us to be on Vanderbilt's level. He didn't even mention us or Vandy in his video ranking SEC coaching staffs. At least I learn something from the comments section so I won't unsubscribe.

Sometime silence is golden......especially if ur a Hawgfan.

Josh love your show. As a die hard razorback fan I couldn’t agree more. Too many unknowns at this point. Revamped OL, transfer QB, Petrino returning. I’m excited but hesitant because the last 2 seasons have been underwhelming in 2022 and abysmal in 2023. I think giving Petrino full control of the O is a smart move for Sam and he’s focusing more with the OL this year which has nowhere to go but up from last year. Our D lost some players but I do have more faith in this Def staff than the previous. Heck we were in some close games last year even with our putrid offense. If Petrino can even get us to being relevant again on O(he greatly improved aTm’s O last year with Jimbo meddling too much) I think we can hit the over on wins. We’ll learn quickly enough what kind of team we have traveling to Stillwater week 2 of the season.

I'm drinking the kool-aid early but Josh was pondering the orb on stage that day. Gonna be a solid week 2 against Oklahoma State

I am late to this episode because I, an Arkansas fan, have been sleeping on Arkansas after last years disaster. I love how you handled this and how you spoke about Arkansas. We don’t know anything other than we can expect a different offense. Of course I HOPE we have a great year, but again we don’t know anything.

I like that Arkansas isn't getting a lot of coverage. We seem to trip over hype and thrive on underdog status. WPS!

This is funny because I’m an A&M fan from Idaho that watched green in person now he’s playing with Bobby against them lol pretty cool

Arkansas chose its successor for head coach in Petrino and decided to try to rewind past Jeff Long's tenure as athletic director.

Dang that is a rough schedule

If we win games, people will talk about us…..really that simple.

Let’s go Hogs…👊🏻🏈

Well done as always, Josh. I'm a Hawg fan and I have no idea what to expect this year. Hoping for 8 wins, but time will tell. WPS!

I dunno.. I'm kinda jaded but also want to stay optimistic. Regardless I'm going to be watching them every Saturday they play and rooting for them til the end. Woo Pig 🐗

I want too hope but I’m at a state where the hope is gone and won’t believe it till I see it

Arkansas has a tough schedule .. only 3 cupcakes, the rest tough battles.. they better be better or another 5-7 season I do forsee

Spot on, in my opinion.

I’m a lifelong Arkansas fan and learned my lesson a long time ago. Unfortunately it seems some people will never learn. As far as I’m concerned we’re a bottom dweller until proven otherwise on the field. I’m not wasting my time and energy thinking about what-ifs.

Im glad Bobby came back succeed or fail atleast he got the chance

No it football an track school look at all the championship teams in track

JP is dancing in the dark like the Boss in this episode!

Arkansas is a baseball school? Kiss my ass. Petrino will turn our crummie offense around.

Give Petrino full control of an SEC offense and see what happens. They were a great offense two seasons in a row before Enos, it wasn’t a talent issue last season and with Petrino we certainly won’t have an offensive coaching issue. The o-line is a great example, it’s not just they COULD be better, it’s that they SHOULD be, they were top five in the SEC the two seasons before last season and the o-line is the most talent loaded position on the team.

I’m honestly shocked at myself for watching my first YT video about Arkansas football since about 4 games into last season. I’ve pretty much given up on Arkansas football…haven’t even looked at hawgsports since October of last year. Especially with the basketball team flopping as well…I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before the Diamond Hogs fall apart…probably with one out to win the national championship.

We could be really good, for us that would be 8-9 wins... Or we can miss or barely make a bowl game.... There's just too many unknowns. Our defense should be solid, minus the linebackers, they're a huge question mark with zero depth. Skill guys on offense should be good, QB should be okay, offensive line... I'm scared to see.

Seanky tough schedule... Back to Back ole miss an texas with an trip to Mizz.... 😅😅😅😅😂 Okay will see 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

Went to the Arkansas vs Miss St game last year and it was the worst football game I've ever seen.

Schedule is brutal this could be a 2 or 3 win season, and Pittman will be working 3rd shift at Hardee’s.

Agree about Arkansas. Who knows? I hope they can have a winning season. Have to beat the cupcakes and win 3 conference games just to get to 6 wins.

Dude, Arkansas is a track and field school. Check to number of national championships.

We’re winning it all

I’ll love them no matter what…but it’s a lot easier when we aren’t embarrassing…I don’t expect 8-9 wins, but I also don’t expect to be embarrassing. I think expecting 7 wins is reasonable. Certainly a bowl game every season. Am I ridiculous? I don’t think so. ♥️🐗

Arkansas is a baseball school but can’t beat LSU or Kentucky or Texas AM in baseball.

Arkansas is a 4-8 team maybe 5-7 if they can find away to beat aggie.

I'm glad we have Bobby Pertino but it's too late for Sam Pittman QB issues still offensive line and defense line needs more The LB needs more depth DB not confidence and WR you have just Armstrong

If we’re talking in the actual realm of physics and likelihood, we can finish anywhere from 3-9 to 7-5. But come on. We’re Arkansas. Everyone knows we’re gonna fuck it up and play god awful again. We’ll end up 4-8 most likely again.

I just realized we never beat bama under saban and now I’m sad

I doubt theyll be lights out this year, but give bobby p a couple years to rebuild and theyll take off

you cant exoect to have a winning season with a new people coming in

NOBODY! Is sleeping on Arkansas and NOBODY is threatened by Arkansas! If they win 6 games this season it’ll be an extremely successful season!! That’s a BIG IF!!

start winning and people will talk about you. Simple as that lol

I’d never count on Arkansas not taking massive injuries.

Lots of lions and tiger and bears out there, but only 1 Razorbacks! Go 🐗

Arkansas is a basketball school

Doesnt need to go back down that road😂

Arkansas is a dumpster full of half empty gas cans... in September the cigarette gets flicked into it

I am a Tennessee fan living in Arkansas. The fan base here is always overly optimistic this time of year. This is a .500 time at best. Write it down.

I can tell you exactly what's happening in Arkansas: nobody knows how good/bad this team is.

Yes your play on the field is what put me to sleep

Arkansas is a Conference USA type program.

Arky will win 4 games at best

I’ll take the under. Bet my life savings on it. And become a very rich man.

We suck and Petrino is the only thing we are happy about right now. We have a lot of delusional fans here tho so im not surprised that we had a guy say such a stupid thing.

The answer is not very.

+40000 to win it all🤣

Not gonna get better with Softy Sam Pittman at the helm.

Arkansas will likely lose 1 or 2 games this year max. Potential playoff berth coming for the first time

Pittman will be gone by week 6

8-9 win season is great for this team you know how hard it would be to recruit to Arkansas 😂

Who this for? 😂😂😂😅

KJ Jefferson and Sam Pittman are two of the worst things to happen at the same time to Arkansas Football since BP and the hottie took a ride into a ditch.

arkansas will be better and should win 6 or 7 games.they don't have the depth to win 9 or 10 games this year.

Arkansas is going 11-1 but losing to Oklahoma State by four touchdowns.

What a tedious presentation here. Almost two minutes in to a 5+ minute talk before he begins to actually say something relevant. Goodness, this guy I think loves to hear himself talk.

Watching 30 sec of this and clicking off so the RU-vid analytics show Josh that absolutely no one cares about fucking Arkansas lmao

Arkansas football is a JOKE!!! if they win 6 games next year that'll be a HUGE Success!! Arkansas is a baseball school. Petrino is old news and seen better days.

Have lived in AR for over 20 years but I’m a lifetime War Eagle. It appears there’s a large contingent of the Hawg fan base think since Petrino is back that are going back to the Sugar Bowl. Good luck with that 🤔

Glad when pittman is finally GONE, LIKE SEE YA! NO SHOW PITTMAN!

I remember when Arkansas was a top contender in the ol’SWC. I think they go either 4 or 5 wins. Should have stayed in the Big 12.

Arkansas fans. Thats it. Thats the joke.

Arkansas doesn't have the niltobe competitive

The Hogs will play hard, especially the offense - Petrino will see to that. But they will not win more than 5 games, probably 3-4. The age of NIL/transfer portal is not going to work out very well for Arkansas. We belong in the AAC.

I don't care what you say Arkansas is a football school, always was and always will be.

How does Sam Pittman still have a job?
