Pearls About Swine: Hog bowl victory prelude to new era

Arkansas Razorback fans descended on the biggest Southern city with a force and fury that presaged the defensive effort that their beloved team thrust upon an oddly hapless Texas Longhorns team Monday night. Before a crowd of 71,000-plus that assuredly was the most zealous bunch to ever watch two college teams fight to clear .500, the Hogs simply overwhelmed the Horns 31-7 in the AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl and created immense buzz for a 2015 season that now, shockingly, can't get here fast enough.
IT Arkansas job board

Texas Bowl preview: Hogs over Horns

Bowl games run the gamut, from the oddball and uninteresting to the compelling and rich (hat tip to Ron Burgundy). It's hard to imagine how Arkansas-Texas in any scenario would be a yawner, and the AdvoCare Texas Bowl next Monday night is a sellout for the first time in the game's relative infancy, so the appeal is unquestioned from the regional assessment and even on a broader scale will be embraced.

Another fourth quarter meltdown for the Hogs

Having risen like the proverbial phoenix with those grand shutouts, the football Hogs just couldn't have a true regular-season finale without officiating controversies and lightning-rod personnel issues.

Here come the expectations

The Bielema Bandwagon pit crew has done some hellacious work getting the wheels road-worthy again. Now it may take the installation of a governor under the hood to keep everyone rational after two historic, emotionally gratifying games have pushed expectations toward the stratosphere for the rest of the season and years beyond.

Victory

Forgive the beleaguered, moonlighting Hog columnist if he scratches out this week's Pearls About Swine in much the same way Bret Bielema rejoiced Saturday night: a smidge teary-eyed and a bit unshaven, and with a robust, impromptu smooch for the wife.

Calm victory for Hogs

Well, this is awkward. Pearls is gonna be pretty complaint-free this week.

A glimmer of hope for Hogs

A few happy hours on the ol' Plains at Jordan-Hare Stadium doesn't really constitute a fix, but as Pearls dabbles in crude psychobabble, let's not discount what a 17-point road win in the SEC can mean.
