Twitter: Mixed bag of emotions after Hogs’ narrow loss to Bama
Boy, if moral victories were a real factor, Arkansas’ football season would be looking a lot better than it actually is, right now. After going on the road and nearly knocking off LSU and Ole Miss over the past three weeks, the Razorbacks took No. 11 Alabama down to the wire in Tuscaloosa on Saturday.
Unfortunately, the Crimson Tide held on for a 24-21 victory – their 17th straight against Arkansas.
Although the skeptical fans still view a loss as simply a loss, many fans were content with the Razorbacks effort in coming back from an 18-point, third-quarter deficit. The Hogs kept up the fight until the end.
Here is some of the feedback that fans posted on Twitter after the game:
That's one way to look at it
Arkansas may be 2 – 5, but at least we are the best 2 – 5 team in college football! #GlassHalfFull #Arkansas #Alabama #gohogs #razorbacks #RollTide

Is competence the answer?
The Arkansas Razorbacks would be sitting 6-1 right now with competent coaching. That’s a fact.

Is he worth the price tag?
Sam Pittmans is the 24th highest paid coach in NCAA football, yet what does Arkansas have to show for it? 2-5 record, and consecutive seasons of barely making above .500

So close, yet so far
Sam Pittman and Arkansas add their fourth loss by seven points or less.

Future outlook
The year is 2033. Arkansas football is now 0-51 in one score games

The bailouts
Saban getting bailed out for insane playcalling.
Enos getting bailed out for gross mismanagement.
Football is a stupid sport and stupid people pull the strings.

Still proud
No one and I mean no one wants to win more than the players and staff in our locker room. I am not happy with a loss but I am so damn proud of our football team today. Finally time to come home for 4 of 5 games and this team deserves a packed and energetic stadium on Saturday. pic.twitter.com/P39CmX7cGN

What if ...
This game is just too full of “what ifs.” What if Duninion doesn’t slip, what if we hadn’t wasted the second quarter, what if we didn’t settle for FGs in the first quarter? #ArkansasFootball

Almost
I am numb to Arkansas football now but if i wasn't I would have to say no. There are times when moral victories are good but not when you had several 1 score losses and your 2-5 on the season. pic.twitter.com/DFJMw60tO7

Long trip home
We love your love for the Hogs. If being an Arkansas football fan was easy and full of wins, hell, everyone would be one. So I know I appreciate you spending hard earned $ on our Rudy!

Not fair to the young'uns
It’s not fair for young Razorback fans to endure what they have over the last 12 years. There are young fans that have seen maybe 2 fun years of Razorback Football, and there are old fans that are flat sick of it as well.

Let's fire everybody
Razorback football is dead until we get a rockstar coach. Giving Pittman another year is just a wasted year. So depressing that we have fire another coach and pay the loser a massive buyout 👎 AD should probably get fired for giving him that contract 👍

Raking time
If not for the Arkansas Razorback football team, I don’t know if I would ever rake leaves. 🤔🤔😡😡🍁
