Football Frustrations

Last night I attended the Arkansas Razorback game, like I have been doing since the beginning of the season. Only this time my hope for us to win was much stronger than all the others. This was THE Ole Miss game. This was the game that former coach Houston Nutt returned to Fayetteville for. Let's make one thing clear right now: I hate Nutt, with a passion. I was semi pleased with his performance for the most part of the time he was here. But when the whole thing with Malzahn, Mitch Mustain and the other Springdale kids happened, I jumped very quickly to the Dark Side. I was a big hater. And now that he is gone, I love the Razorbacks just as much, maybe more than I always have. But back to last night's game. I was pumped and ready to see a great game where we kicked the hell out of Nutt and his stupid Rebels. But many things were put in the way of a much needed victory. First, we have the quarterback, Casey Dick. I also do not like Casey Dick. He is not a good qb at all. His passes are not great, he cannot run very fast, and he gets too panicked when he can't find an open receiver. But for right now, unfortunately, we must live with this. Then, we have the refs. Where do these refs learn to do their jobs, clown college? Half of them must be blind or stupid, making calls on crap that wasn't even close to what they called, not making calls on plays they clearly should have. It just infuriates me. So, when the game ended and and the remaining fans began filing out of the stadium, I turned to my friend and said that I had had enough of losing and coming to see these horrible games and that I would not be attending our final game next Saturday against Tulsa. I love my Razorbacks, but I just can't bring myself to attend another disappointing game.
