Arkansas Razorbacks Football Tickets

View:

American college football has come a long way since the time when players were represented by little red lines of light; the quarterback was the brightest light. From college playoffs to Bowl Championship Series or the much hyped abbreviation BCS, it has been a long journey for the game, players and the fans.

The football system at the college level has changed drastically and is still in a fluid mode, we can expect some more changes next year, some more the next year and so on. It all started with the year 1992 when Bowl Coalition came up on the scene. It was followed by Bowl Alliance 1995-1997, which was succeeded by the Bowl Championship Series.

Most of the fans still prefer playoffs. But playoffs are a day of past now. BCS is present. It is a system or a lack of it, which selects the bowl champion. A very complex set of computer algorithms, math and public polls, are used by the BCS to decide the best two teams in the nation. These two teams are put up against each other in a match. The winner of the match becomes the bowl champion.

BCS is always in the controversies, for example, this year; Florida is going over one-loss Alabama because the Gators beat Alabama. But Oklahoma is going over one-loss Texas even though Texas beat Oklahoma. One-loss USC isn't going because it lost at good-but-not-great Oregon State, but Florida is going even though it did lose to a good-but-not-great Mississippi (at home). Penn State isn't going because it lost at Iowa, Texas Tech isn't going even though its only loss was at No. 1 Oklahoma (it's still the highest-ranked loss), Texas isn't going even though its only loss was on the last play at Texas Tech, and Utah isn't going even though it didn't lose at all. Don't even bother pondering over it and give your scalp some relief.

No doubt, the world is moving fast, Laptops replaced PCs (Mac replaced it too), Blackberry is slowly replacing laptops, but some things feel great the way they have always been. Football is all about raw passion and competition, during the playoffs such feeling exuded from the team, so much so that it rubbed on their fans as well. The teams knew how to be the champions, winning at all costs. That is how a sport should be played, like all other sports are played. Though it had its own flaws like a certain 10-6 NFL teams make the playoffs and certain ones don't for obscure tiebreaker reasons, though the level of difficulty of all the divisions were not the same, but still playoffs used to produce true champions and that is what the audiences and fans want.

We would never know how the current teams would perform when pitted against the teams of the past, but do we really want to know that? Even the most complex programs can't answer that question. There used to be no national champion in the pre BCS era and practically there is no one now either.

Arkansas Razorbacks Football Tickets

The Razorbacks undoubtedly went into the game against the Mississippi Bulldogs with every intention of winning. The Bulldogs, however, decided something different as they came out on the floor kicking butt and taking no names. The Bulldogs scored a school record 16 3-pointers and left the Razorbacks wondering what happened as the Bulldogs defeated the Razorbacks 86-77. The Razorbacks gave it a shot but when the final clock buzzed, the victory went to the Bulldogs.

On the active roster in the game were sophomore Marcus Britt (12) from Madison Arkansas, freshman Andre Clark (44) from North Little Rock Arkansas, freshman Rotnei Clark (15) from Verdigris Oklahoma, junior Stephen Cox (25) from Jonesboro Arkansas, freshman Courtney Fortson (4) from Montgomery Alabama, freshman Jason Henry (1) from West Memphis Arkansas, freshman Nick Mason (2) from Jonesboro Arkansas, senior Marcus Monk (10) from Lepanto Arkansas, freshman Brandon Moore (11) from New Orleans Louisiana, senior John Paul Noland (31) from Southlake Texas, freshman Michael Sanchez (31) from Springdale Arkansas, junior Michael Washington (00) from McGehee Arkansas and junior Stefan Welsh (14) from Newport News Virginia.

The recent loss to the Bulldogs marks the third loss in a row for the Razorbacks. Recent games against Tennessee and LSU were unsuccessful attempts by the Razorbacks to stay on top of their game long enough to see it to a win. With the season well underway, the Razorbacks will be engaging in less than a dozen more games before the SEC Tournament to be held March 12-15. Games remaining in the season before that include those against Auburn on February 11, Kentucky on February 14, LSU on February 18, South Carolina on February 21, Alabama on February 25, Georgia on March 1, Ole Miss on March 4 and Vanderbilt on March 8.

The remainder games will definitely have an impact on whether or not the Razorbacks see the NCAA Tournament first and second rounds on Thursday, March 19 through Sunday, March 22, the NCAA Tournament Regionals on Thursday, March 26 through Sunday, March 29 and the NCAA Final Four on Saturday, April 4 through Monday, April 6. Maybe the coaches have their work cut out for them taking the Razorbacks through their routines.

The coaching team for the Razorbacks is lead by head coach John Pelphrey, assistant coach Isaac Brown, assistant coach Tom Ostrom, assistant coach Rob Evans, director of basketball operations Damon Jones and program specialist/video coordinator Matt Siverling. Pelphrey lead the Razorbacks to the top and set a school record for a first-year coach. Everyone is undoubtedly expecting similar results again this year from Pelphrey.

As it stands, current overall record statistics for all games for the Razorbacks are 13-8 overall, 11-3 home, 1-5 away and 1-0 neutral. Statistical rankings recognize Washington in the lead, followed by Fortson, Welsh, Clarke, Henry, Sanchez, McDonald, Monk, Britt, Clark, Moore, Cox, Mason and Noland. Cox, Mason and Nolan have collectively played less than 13 games, which accounts for their rankings at the bottom of the statistics.
