Silent Lucidity

Lest we gain an ill-gotten reputation as an unabashed critic of all things Hogville, in the interest of fairness we will occasionally cite a decent post that seems to have some rational thought behind it. It's a little like mining for diamonds at Murfreesboro, but sometimes the blind squirrel finds the acorn, and this morning, someone known simply as "UAfan" managed to make a pointed, mostly comprehensible comment on the state of affairs in Fayetteville, and didn't humiliate himself or herself in the process.

O.k. say we do have another 10 or 11 win season. What then? Obviously the off-season didn't affect Nutt or the team, and we are a fairly young team with some good recruits coming in. Now if Nutt has say a seven win season with this season than there is room for concern and change needs to be seriously considered. Im not a Hugger but if you want Nutt to quit commenting about emails and such than why doesn't anyone on here stop. Kinda shot yourself in the foot on that one.

Now, before you scoff, we're not offering this for its substance. There's nothing earth-shattering here, of course, but let's contrast this post with some of the other stuff you see on Monday Morning Quarterback, and note immediate distinctions:

1. It makes sense. The English isn't perfect, and God knows it doesn't feature the grandiose wordplay that HoopHog lavishes upon us regularly, but it's far above the usual series of guttural noises and random ellipses that the casual Hogvillian typically strings together. And it's a damn sight better than anything written by Lord Lanny, who clearly should stick to surveying and shouldn't ever try to offer phonics lessons to youths in Garland County.

2. It's semi-reasonable. Amid all the sound and fury regarding Nutt on that board, here's a post that assesses the forthcoming season bluntly and without rancor. If he wins, he possibly finds himself landing in a place where he'll get the public adoration he craves. If he loses, he goes back to Murray State to wait for Mike Cherry's or Reuel Shepherd's kids to graduate from high school. Hogville's Anointed Retard Hierarchy would have you believe that with 16 days left before kickoff, there's still plenty of time for the troops to rally, cajole, FOI, litigate, and verbally pitchfork Houston Dale Nutt right out the rear door of the Broyles Complex and into Beaver Lake. Again, he survived the wildest offseason in Razorback history without any real wounds, so at this point, let's be patient and let him fail. All the turmoil might just give him an excuse, and we all know that if there's anything Houston loves more than himself, it's finding creative and fresh ways to convince the right people that circumstance made winning essentially impossible.

3. It disclaims "Hugger" status expressly. This is very, very important, because later, when Lanny has a screen capture of all UAfan's post(s), and Hogville tries to sue UAfan for breaching his loyalty to the Hogville elite, UAfan can show God and everybody that he's most definitely not a Hugger.

Smarter Hogville Analysis: Hogville has a lot of registered members, and though it pains us to concede this point, a few of them just might be able to operate simple machinery, form independent clauses correctly, or reach the restroom in a timely fashion so as not to defecate or urinate all over their clothes.
