Arkansas had gone 2-10 and 2-10 the prior two seasons before Pittman arrived. They had not won a conference game in more than 2 years and actually never won one in Chad Morris' entire tenure. They lose TWENTY STRAIGHT SEC games before Pittman broke that streak. Further, Morris not only didn't recruit as well as Pruitt, but he was recruiting to a system that was the EXACT OPPOSITE of what Pittman runs, so what little talent Pittman did inherit wasn't recruited to his type of systems. On top of that, Arkansas is in the SEC West, which is the tougher division.

It's actually absurd to suggest that Pittman didn't inherit a worse situation than Heupel. There isn't a single level on which Heupel's situation was easier. And yet, y'all, without any supporting facts, want to dismiss anyone for stating the obvious: that Pittman inherited a worse situation.

I love what Heupel is doing. He was certainly dealt a tough hand. But it wasn't the crap hand that Pittman was dealt.

Yeah and we were just two years removed from going 8-5. Significant difference. Full roster or not we had talent from recruting classes ranked in the top 20. Unlike Arkansas.

Sounds good in theory, but speaking from experience over the last three years...you don't want Joro spiders around. I killed every small one I could find last year during the late summer and it wasn't too bad in the fall. The reason I went to all that trouble was because the previous year was a nightmare. I have no problems with spiders being around, but these ****ers were EVERYWHERE. Never seen anything like it. I could easily kill 10-15 big ones in my front yard one day then find 10 new big ones out front a day or two later. There were probably 30+ big Joro spiders right around or on my house at any given time...nevermind how many were hanging out in the woods out back.

The top end of that talent left.

Talent left Arkansas too. It happens with every coaching change. But Tennessee still had some top tier recruits hold over...the Mays boys, Carvin, Baron, Thomas...even Hooker committed before Heupel was hired. The roster Heupel inherited was better than what Pittman inherited, with or without departures. Pittman has done an incredible job.

Has anyone ever stepped on a wolf spider and then all the babies run off of it? Nightmare fuel, especially if it's inside and you have like 5 seconds to get them all or you're in for it.

Yes, when I was a kid we saw one in the kitchen and we thought it just had a spiny back so my dad went to trap it in a glass to try and figure out what it was. Accidently brushed the back of the spider with the glass and sent those suckers (with an F) in a million different directions.

And that is how my house "caught" on fire and burned down.

Years ago, brought the family back from vacation and there was a wolf spider in the bathroom sink, right at the base of the drain. When I stood over the sink looking at it and wondering WTH it was, it exploded into 10,000 babies. Yah. I did the old lighter and hairspray trick to cleanse with fire.

TVA has absolutely wreaked havoc on floating home owners.

First making them update all amenities to current code (which is fine but hadnt enforced in 30+ years), brining value of homes relative to cost to upgrade to a losing value.

Also, passing legislation that all homes must be now moved to a marina or abandoned by year X. So, those
with mortgages are left with no way to recoup or sell.

Out of curiosity, are there folks that anchor these monsters randomly on the river? How would they get power, water, sewage removal? Not like your going to just motor a 100’ long barge up to the marina gas pumps? These units are in the $500K and up range right? Have to think TVS is trying to address many of the abandoned home made units littering the waterfront.

Also, what updates are required to a 15-20 year old unit in order to bring it up to current regulations?
