Razorback Fans Delight in Auburn’s Early-Season Struggles

Schadenfreude

Definition: enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others

(From German — Schaden damage + Freude joy)

They say success is cyclical, but it sure didn’t feel that way for Arkansas Razorback football after Bobby Petrino’s motorcycle crash in spring of 2012.

For nearly eight years, outside of a brief Bielemic surge good enough to get Bret a way-too-early, way-too-much extension, it seemed like it was one misstep after another for the program.

The worst of it, of course, came in the form of those two exceedingly Excedrin-worthy seasons under Chad Morris.
