SEC stretch leading into Halloween to determine how quickly Arkansas Razorbacks fans turn focus to John Calipari's basketball team
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Last year things fell apart with Arkansas coach Sam Pittman's team before Halloween. They fired the offensive coordinator and just about everything felt like a mad scramble to get to the end of the season before a complete collapse at home against Missouri to end it.
The rest of the way had a glimmer of hope against a Florida team imploding just as badly. This year the Razorbacks may not make it that far before everything goes into a panic stage. Some folks are already looking for when basketball practices start. The moment fans have either a meltdown or high expectations comes directly in the middle of the schedule depending on whether the Razorbacks are 3-3 or better at that point. LSU comes to town after the first off-week and the Hogs' faithful will either start planning for a bowl trip or turning their focus toward basketball.
An optimistic view of the back-end of the schedule leads to 2-4 at best. With that outlook, it means to make any bowl game the Hogs need to win four of the first six games and that's going to be a monster of a hill. Four of the six are in everybody's preseason Top 25.
