Sounds like the record books should be thrown out for an I-49 Showdown. Where's @triaddukefan when we need him?Arkansas played a closed door scrimmage vs Kansas last week, but tonight faces off in the "I-49 Showdown"vs D-II UA-Fort Smith. Looking forward to see how and who Neighbors puts out there, but unfortunately there's no stream, just live stats.
Well, the Hogs were over 90 pts before the 4th Q, so that very well may be a record. The northern part of I-49 won the Showdown 114-55. Starters were Daniels, Ramirez. Goforth, Davis, and Barnum. Everyone saw a decent amount of playing time. Lots to like, some things to fix. Good use of an exhibition.
I think Arkansas will be better than most people anticipate especially if FR Wolfenbarger acclimates to the college game smoothly. Goforth could really breakout this year. But they will get demolished on the boards again I bet.
I am not so sure about that last part. This is a much longer team than previous Neighbors squads. Goforth and Davis are both bigger/longer than the people they’re replacing, and they are more aggressive rebounders. They finally have some height, so it’ll be interesting to see. Goforth looked great last night - and very happy to be playing in front of her family and friends.
Stanford 105, Clarke 35.
I read that Cal was down about 20 players due to Covid protocols. But ya gotta take a win any way you can.
The limit is 2. They can be exhibition or closed scrimmage but 2 total. If you want to play a DI team, that would be a closed scrimmage (although there was one exception a few years back, but there were special circumstances which I have long since forgotten). Typical opponents are local DII and DIII teams that are willing. Often the coaching staffs have agreed on the "way" both teams are going to play each quarter.No judgment. Coaches have the option of scheduling as many exhibition games as they need and what is allowed by the NCAA. I was just being a wise guy....the smiley face wasn't a good hint?
Yes, a long time coming. Unlike the last coach, this one seems to know what he is doing. But it is going to be incredibly hard to build a team when there is no "real" history. A few good years here and there, but . . . That said, it can be done. Greg Schiano at Rutgers the first time, for example.
