It’s been a brutal year for Arkansas football.
Well, scratch that. It’s been a brutal … decade … for Arkansas football.
The Razorbacks sit at 2-3 and near the bottom of the SEC ahead of today’s matchup was Tennessee, and the prospects don’t look great. The Vols (4-1) are No. 15 in the country, and are better than Arkansas in just about every metric possible.

By all accounts, it should be a blowout — most Razorback losses this season have been. There’s little reason to believe today will be any different.
But, there is some good news! Win OR lose (probably lose), fans are still mulling perhaps the most diabolical plan known to man to get AD Hunter Yurachek fired …
Storm the field, and rack up the fines:
Arkansas fans have had enough.
“Win or lose we #stormthefield Every game ends in a field storming and a $250,000 fine until @ArkRazorbacks fire @HunterYurachek,” one X user posted earlier this week in a now-viral post with more than 1 million views.
Amazing. It just means more in the SEC, baby! Frankly, it’s brilliant. This is the sort of out-of-the-box thinking the Razorbacks could use on an offense that currently ranks 115th in the country. Or a defense that ranks 108th and is currently giving up nearly 30 points per game.

Just a thought.
Look, it probably won’t happen but … never say never. Razorback fans are tired. It’s been a long few years, and that’s an understatement.
Arkansas went 2-10 last season, and that wass the third such 2-10 campaign in the last decade. Just an absurd stat for an SEC school. It’s unfathomable.
Somehow, it gets worse.

The Razorbacks haven’t won 10 games since 2011, and have just one 9-win season (2021) in that same span. Growing up, Vanderbilt was the SEC bottom-feeder. Everyone knew it. That game was an automatic win when you looked at the preseason schedule.
Not anymore.
Arkansas has officially taken that spot, and it’s probably going to get worse (somehow) before it gets better.

Perhaps fans storming the field — win or lose — and costing the program a hefty $250,000 fine each time they do so (per the NCAA rules) will expedite that process?
I’ve heard worse ideas.
