Pregame Twitter Chatter: Not a lot of expectations against Tide
Although it has been 17 years since Arkansas defeated Alabama on the football field, some fans have remained optimistic for today’s game, at least from a competitive standpoint.
But the majority of fans feel the same recent disappointment will continue to last at least another week.
Here is a little taste of what fans are posting on Twitter, before the game even kicks off in Tuscaloosa at 11 a.m.
Check out what’s being said about today’s game:
17 years and 6 kids latter ...
Annual reminder that the last time the Razorbacks beat Alabama, I was unmarried. Next month @stephnelson4 celebrate 17 years of marriage and have 6 children. It’s been a while. But… #wps pic.twitter.com/E7OeJw4i8n

Saban unhappy, so Hogs in trouble
I do love my Razorbacks but I’m going to say 52-10 Alabama. At their place and Saban hasn’t been happy!!! 🤷🏻♂️

Tide fan optimistic for Hogs
Just assume ever SEC West is a trap. Arkansas is a really good team this year.

More depressing news
Well that's depressing to find out that Paul "Bear" Bryant was slated to be Arkansas Head Football Coach before the war happened in 1941..
Great What If this morning on the SEC Network..

Couple key Hogs not on the trip
Chris Paul Jr. and Jaylon Braxton did not travel for Arkansas football, a team spokesperson confirms.
Cameron Ball, Dwight McGlothern and Al Walcott all traveled. They were questionable earlier this week. https://t.co/WsNSOfioDd

Yurachek feels fan's wrath
Hunter you have made Arkansas football a clown show because you are cheap and hired a career line coach that no one else didn't even want for a head coach. Sam Pitman is nothing but a fat,old,drunk that is just buying his time until retirement . FIRE HUNTER

Can Arkansas pull a Stanford?
What a wild game football is. Wish Arkansas could turn anything around the way Stanford did https://t.co/4aSGFyehNN

Saban praises KJ
“KJ Jefferson is a really good, big time quarterback,” Alabama head coach Nick Saban said of Arkansas. “Big guy. Hard to sack. Can run. Very talented arm.”
QB KJ Jefferson could be Arkansas’ biggest threat to Alabama football ⬇️https://t.co/6LziSIDv2l

Why now?
RAZORBACK RECAP: With losing in big stretches being such a big part of the fabric of Razorback football, why are Arkansas fans choosing now to get all worked up?#WPS #Arkansas #RollTide #Alabamahttps://t.co/NEDHhYNnhj

It's still there
The last time Arkansas beat Alabama, Red Robin was the best burger joint in Fayetteville, and that’s where my friends and I watched the game. I don’t even know if that place still exists.

Hogs have NO chance
JUST STOP THE FFFFFFING BULLSHIT! Alabama will slaughter Arkansas by a score of 70-12. Arkansans might squeeze in a field goal each quarter! pic.twitter.com/7HBQ7RMfvy

Saban's October record pretty good
Nick Saban is 31-0 at home in October as Alabama's head coach..
Arkansas fans… "So you're telling me there's a chance.."

BOLD prediction
Wow just realized the Arkansas Razorbacks will be defeating the Alabama Crimson Tide this morning. Stay tuned

Definitely a tall order
Tall order awaits Hogs in Tuscaloosa … Is this the Razorback team that ends the losing streak against Alabama? Probably not, but you can't shock the world without the odds being stacked against you. Still, though… #wps #arkansas #razorbacks (VIP): https://t.co/fUk5eNtQ8N pic.twitter.com/ON7MLNv2mN

Odds in Bama's favor
Alabama has covered the spread in 7 of 8 home games when playing in October. They face Arkansas and enter the game with a 52.4% chance to cover -19.5-points #CollegeFootball @CollegeGameDay

Never been done
In the Nick Saban era of Alabama Football, only four teams in the SEC have never beaten the Crimson Tide (Arkansas, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Missouri). The last time Arkansas beat Alabama was in 2006 when the Razorbacks won 24-23 in OT.@CWsports

At least I have free time
As a Razorbacks and Denver Broncos fan, I've gotten my weekends back this year to go sight seeing and complete home projects. Never been this apathetic about football.
