The autopsy results are in: it’s bad. How bad? As soon as I uploaded the data onto my computer last night, the entire thing crashed. The program saw the numbers and said “nope there’s no way this is right.” I’ve spent a chunk of my Sunday afternoon repairing damaged Excel files.
Calling this the “Worst Loss in Modern Arkansas History” is a bold claim: is it really up there with The Citadel, UL-Monroe, and Toledo? At least those were close losses. This was a beatdown.
It’s also inexcusable. No “trust the process, we’re rebuilding” excuse can justify a 27-point thrashing by a Conference-USA school, even a solid North Texas team likely to have one of its better seasons in school history.
