ASK MIKE: Dazmin James, Transfer Portal and Bowl Games

[@joshuacarr1720]

I loved the bowl game. Seeing some of these young guys shine and Taylen actually making some steps reading things finally made it all worth the watch.

[@sonicwoopig4593]

Also, 35k fans out of 40k seats available is a pretty good turnout.

[@jbrosdad1921]

Love the chemistry between these two…thanks for the insights Mike! Thankful for a bowl win to finish this season on a high note!

[@cuz129]

Great take on minor bowls. The players deserve to play.

[@scottwright580]

I enjoyed the bowl game and the younger players playing. It doesnt have to be highly payed players to be a fun game.

[@MAP2200]

It was fun to watch the players' enthusiasm and their celebration with each other.

[@DJ_Suckafree]

Definitely a great way to finish off a season with a biwl win even if it's not the biggest bowl. it was also good to see the yoUnger guys play well together. WPS!

[@ChrisBeavers-pg4sj]

Nice show guys, appreciate you both, wish Alyssa and Courtney had their own show too though

[@johnhickman9926]

The stadium was under construction so there could had been more ticket sold

[@HogWild19100]

Texas didn’t play anyone significant except Georgia that’s why they had a chance at a SEC championship

[@hershelswint4097]

Go Hogs!

[@KingofDiamonds85]

I've seen many say Carmona should be expelled, lose his scholarship, get arrested, etc. The people saying that either have an agenda that's more extreme than what Carmona did or have never played sports a day in their life. Was it right? No. Does stuff like this happen in probably every game? Yes. I've talked to coaches who just shake their heads at what some "fans" are saying on social media.

[@johnhickman9926]

Maybe suspended for half game next year or some kind of punishment but not what they are saying

[@sonicwoopig4593]

@@johnhickman9926it’s football, right or wrong it happens all the time. I think him being man enough to publicly apologize is good enough.

[@KingofDiamonds85]

@@johnhickman9926 I actually think a full game suspension with maybe a reduction in NIL is appropriate but the extreme of kicking him off the team, expelling, or pressing charges is ridiculous.

[@chrislight4665]

It was a great game and hope springs eternal for me lol. 7-5 next season and another bowl win

[@scottwright580]

Im with Mike on the SEC but i was surprised to hear him give his opinion😅

[@fahimscott6172]

Great closing point

[@arlieyatbrough4165]

A win is a win I'm proud of our hogs I thought tech would kill us . Go Hogs

[@ThaHogfather]

fans have gotten toxic…..

[@HoboBob]

They've been toxic for decades and not just here. People are toxic. You'll learn this in time. It's not different anywhere else.

[@ThaHogfather]

@ i know bud. But theres been a visual change in the last 5 years. And to be honest i dont care about other people and teams. Just ours u know. Were a god fearing hard working blue collar state. Our people need to remember that

[@billybarber2064]

ESPN has bought colleges. It's not about the kids ,it's about the money.

[@HoboBob]

@@ThaHogfather We used to be. This new generation is not God fearing anymore. Very few of them. I am 50 now and I don't recognize this rock we live on anymore.

[@larrycolburn2326]

There have always been toxic fans that generate negativity and pessimism and every fanbase has them but now it stands out more because of social media and some of the podcasts, (not this one), that plays it up and perpetuates it for clicks. Then there is also the other extreme where you have a small percentage of fans who don't see things as they really are either. But I beleive that most of the fans fall somewhere in between and love their team and are disappointed when they lose and happy when they win and only want the best for the team. Im 64 and have followed the Razorback teams in most of the sports, but mainly basketball and football, since I was a little boy. I have also witnessed the culture change where a lot of people in the newer generations feel entitled and, to put it bluntly, are lazy. Back when I was growing up "lazy" was a bad word that nobody wanted to be labeled but now it seems that many younger people take pride in it. But the culture change isn't just in work ethic but also in attitudes and the way people treat each other. It's a very sad thing to witness. Many people have moved away from God and become arrogant and selfish too. But I have also witnessed many hard working, humble, and respectful young people exist so there is always hope.

[@johnhickman9926]

Every team should have a game no one getting a bye totally wrong

[@billybarber2064]

If you think these bowls aren't good enough for you, you probably don't need to watch any game unless it for the championship. And you'll see you'll never have a team you can support. Guess I'm saying your NOT really a HOG fan. We lose I hate it, we win I love it. But do love see kids that want to play instead of players that are playing just for money.

[@Boss_Hogg_1619]

That play was dirty.

[@RazorAlex88]

I love Sam! But 2025 is gonna be a real test.

[@philipwebb960]

How much does Blueprint Sports get paid for its involvement in Arkansas Edge?

[@ChrisBeavers-pg4sj]

Mike answered this a while back, it’s around $90,000 they take out for management fees

[@toothlessfatoveralls]

WPS

[@philipbgood]

Yeah, think good thougts...until SEC football starts again.

[@michaeldeal2979]

HA!! This guy ^^^

[@RickeyIrving]

i wanted Oklahoma to stay in Big 12 and Arkansas and Nebraska join Big 12 and let Texas go to SEC .

[@davidsirmon8425]

Yes, and bring TAM with us to Big 12. It would be better geographical fit.

[@JustinWilliams-f6l]

Ummmmmmm no

[@SCREWtheWOKES]

Fyi, Mahomes did NOT have a winning record with as QB1....

[@stevekillian9710]

And he’s gone!

[@ChrisBeavers-pg4sj]

Well the dazmin james stuff was fun while it lasted…..

[@philipwebb960]

Try to excuse Carmona as much as you want, Mike, but what he deliberately did gave the Razorbacks a black eye nationally.

[@logansmith1032]

Luckily for the razorbacks, they aren’t relevant nationally.

[@billybarber2064]

My gosh you'd think he broke the guys leg. He wanted to irritate him not hurt him. Because he could have. I'd say the same if one had done our player that way. It's dirty if your hurt, get your butt up and beat him then.

[@lrthugin]

Good trying to win clean has gotten us where, give me the big nastys with a mean streak. It was a dirty move but ill take the mindset just don't do it again

[@davidcollier6018]

Downplaying what Carmona did aint right Mike !!

[@jaknazryth2488]

The Liberty Bowl is one of the oldest bowl games today, approaching 7 decades. It isn't the Cotton bowl, but I don't consider it one of these new bowl games that you've never heard of before. The Liberty Bowl has been around for 66 years. It was first played in 1959 in Philadelphia, and moved to Memphis in 1965. At this point, the Liberty Bowl IS a traditional bowl game. I don't consider it a "throw away" bowl game... things you never heard of... my favorited "one and done" bowl game was the "Poulan-Weed eater bowl" ... lol.. A bowl game based on chain saws and lawn trimming equipment... lol. So those who cast dispersions on the Liberty Bowl... it's not one of these bowl games that show up one year, and you never hear from it again... it is tradition. I was pleasantly surprised how well we think we did in the Liberty Bow, all things considered. Arkansas DID have a slightly above average turnover in the portal, average being 20 per team. But nothing like Washington State... 32 entered the portal there. That's like... half the team! And now with "real" money flowing in... Pitman and his staff can actually compete with high value players on the portal. Some fans are so nasty and love to hear themselves bitch and complain, NOTHING will satisfy them. They are like that nagging, nasty, in-law that you HAVE NO CHOICE, but to put up with.... lol.. :) Happy New Year. Looking forward to 2025!

[@sonicwoopig4593]

Those “so called” fans that can’t enjoy a win for the hogs are just trolls that are just miserable people. WPS for life!

[@HawgPhan878-1]

Mike has a habit of labeling anyone with an opinion that doesn't agree with his, as "stupid".

[@dnlprls]

Texas A&M just got the top 3 receivers in the transfer portal. How and why does this keep happening?

[@Arkansan4America]

Money and coaching

[@Quikclippyclips411]

Mike's initial comments support the "everyone gets a trophy" loser mentality sewn into the mindset of players. Who cares what gifts and times and the players get? This is what's wrong with sports in the modern era.

[@williamhicks9905]

this lady dresses like a lady

[@Boss_Hogg_1619]

I’m just not a Mike fan at all. He talks some much as if he’s a paid Arkansas reporter that just has to talk positive about them

[@johnhickman9926]

James should been playing all year

[@robertricks8173]

These damn fans think they own the school. Horrible fans...

[@robertricks8173]

Misinformed fans are the worst!!!

[@Boss_Hogg_1619]

Mike, you’re dumb for the comment on players shouldn’t be allowed to play in a ball game. That’s a stupid comment.

[@Spencer-v7b]

Mike stop obsessing over comments online. Times have changed bud there’s no sense in spending time addressing morons on the internet and letting their comments bother you. It’s not going to change and it makes you seem like an out of touch boomer when every time you answer a question you complain about some random comment that for all we know could be posted by bots.

[@fishman5519]

Im ready for a new head coach bc Pittman record is so terrible. But i get not firing to have a healthier NIL for the guys. Soooooo, WPS!

[@billybarber2064]

You may be ready, but just what coach you think is gonna want it? Kiffen, Smart or Saban? Or you just gotta MORRIS IT AGAIN. LOSING TO RANKED AND TOP RANKED TEAMS AINT BAD. Grip about bowls, then go all year to get a chance to win one in a bowl game. REALLY?
