Give Mike Anderson Some Time

www.thesportsbank.net
Razorback fans need to take a huge chill pill when it comes to the Arkansas Razorback Basketball program. Its only year two of the Mike Anderson era. He has brought back the fastest 40 mins of basketball style to Arkansas. Anderson has had some success quickly at other schools. I think that might be why people are already expecting big things from him. The difference is there were players that could play that style better. Anderson inherited some not so great players for his style. Fans need to give him some time to get his players in that can run that style. He is off to a good start with that and next year there are a few more guys that are coming in that should be able to give him a greater chance of getting his style implemented. I am just as frustrated as everyone that the basketball program has been down as long as it has. Nolan and Anderson spoiled us in the 90's with the dominance the program had. I can remember watching the NCAA selection shows right after the basketball program fell from dominance and the announcers talked about how it was different to see the bracket without the Hogs. Being frustrated and voicing concerns is one thing. Calling up sports radio stations and calling for Mike Anderson to be fired is ridiculous. Fans need to just relax. I have full faith that Anderson will get the job done and take the Hogs back to being a tournament team every year and maybe recapture that glory from 1994. I have a strong feeling that Arkansas is on the rise when it comes to all sports programs. Bottom line is fans need to just sit back, relax, and give Mike Anderson some time to work his magic. Go Hogs! WPS!

Arkansas still has a basketball program, Wow

What is that sport that the hogs play in between football and baseball? Oh yeah its basketball. John Pelphery owes Bobby Petrino a very big favor. Arkansas Basketball has been on the decline for years. They only time you hear anything about basketball is when another player gets suspended or some type of trouble. With the success of the football team the basketball team has been able to sorta hide away. The Hogs have put together a decent start to the season. So far they are 6-1. The record can be misleading. The Hogs haven't played a decent team yet. They beat a horrible Oklahoma team and their one loss comes from an ok UAB team. The next Razorback basketball game is against the mighty Mississippi Valley State on December 15th. The only decent teams left on the non conference schedule for the Hogs are games against Texas A&M and Texas. Both of those games are road games for the Hogs. Once the SEC games start we will have a better idea of how this team will fare. My expectations as well as some other sports fans that I have spoken to say a good season would be a .500 record in SEC play. Next year though has already got high exceptions with that talented group of recruits coming in. I will revisit the Razorback basketball team after a few SEC games to give an update on how they are doing. What are you thoughts on the bball hogs?
