AHEM. Yes. With grit and sass, the Gymbacks rattled Alabama for the second year in a row. I SQUEED with delight as the ‘Backs reeled in their first program victory over the Tide in Fayetteville last year. This victory, wherein 9th-ranked Arkansas wrung the crimson out of 4th-ranked Alabama IN THEIR OWN GYM like Holly Holm putting Ronda Rousey DOWN.
And this evening started with less of a bang and more of a "Please, no." As the visiting team, the ‘Backs opened on the uneven bars. While improved over last week’s sloppy handstands and mental mistakes, Coach Mark Cook still has work to do that includes polishing the lineup’s fundamentals.
