    2020-2021 Arkansas Razorback Predictions Special! (ep. 34)

    Dear Razorback fans,

    Make sure not to miss the important message for listener of today's show! Let us know who you are and where you'd like to see our content head in the future. Chazzz and I will be taking a podcast break, but we will be back better than EVER! Also shout out to our listener in Oregon! We focus this week on looking ahead at the upcoming football and basketball seasons and give all our takes. We also predict the future professional careers of Adrio Bailey, Jimmy Whitt Jr., Jeantal Cylla, and even Mason Jones. You gotta listen to know who will be a future president. Jumping into football talk, here's some of our takes:

    • Tommy predicts Rakeem Boyd will rush for over 1200 yards making him a top 10 RB of all-time!
    • Chazzz thinks Feleipe Franks will just be average... and he goes as far as predicting he won't have a game that he throws for over 300 yards!
    • Tommy and Chazz agree on us beating Nevada, Charleston Southern, ULM, and Missouri, but Tommy also believe we will beat either Tennessee or Ole Miss. Tommy thinks we get 5 wins. Chazzz is going with 4.

    Next comes the Arkansas Razorbacks Basketball takes:

    • Chazzz thinks Arkansas will finish 4th in the SEC standings but will WIN the SEC Tournament. If he's right, this guy is amazing
    • Tommy is super high on Moses Moody and thinks it will "be his team" next year. 
    • Chazzz isn't feeling Moody, but he thinks Jaylin Williams will have a bigger impact and will eventually replace Connor Vanover as a starter!

    Thank you all so very much listening! Feel free to email hardtobehumblepodcast@gmail with any thoughts!

    Woo pig!

    The Best Sports Movies of All Time... (according to Arkansas Razorback fans)! (ep. 33)
    Dear Arkansas Razorback fans, In the midst of the Corona Virus outbreak, we are all stuck in our homes with no sports to watch. I know exactly what you need. You need a list of the greatest sports movies of all-time! Chad and I give our top 4 in both the drama and comedy categories. The Sandlot, The Natural, Rocky, Cinderella Man, Hoosiers, Remember the Titans, Moneyball, Space Jam, The Mighty Ducks,  A League of their Own... we hit em all! We go down a strange rabbit trail trying to decide if Gladiator is a sports movie and somehow end up making a case for Apollo 13 being one too?! Plenty of good recommendations here. I personally added a nice handful to my must watch list: Goon, Blue Chips, Necessary Roughness, The Program, Slap Shot. Hope you all enjoy! Go Hogs! Woo Pig Sooie!

    Manny Watkins Is Here! + Has the Corona Virus forced us into our darkest moment as Razorback fans? (ep. 32)

    Dear Razorback fans,

    Wow... We've got Manny Watkins in the house today! Manny has a feel for where he thinks Mason Jones ends up next year!?! We also ask him about Jimmy Whitt's free throws and his twitch stream... go follow him at MannyWat21! We find out his favorite SEC teams to play against. We also do a deep dive into Qualls dunk vs UK as well as Manny getting the double bird from a fan after a Vanderbilt game. Who do you think he chooses as the best three point shooter he played with? We also got a funny story about Moses Kingsley! We loved having Manny on! After that Chad and I go in depth on the darkest moments that Razorback fans have had to endure... CWS dropped foul pop, the Stoernover, the Teblow, losing the ULM in 2012,  the Fish Fumble, '95 NCAA championship... it's all here people. 

    Stay safe, be smart, god bless you all! Much love!

We then spend the rest of the show putting a bow on this hoops regular season. What was the best and worst moment? Who threw the biggest tantrum? Who wins the 6th man award (probably my favorite)? Muss's first year at the helm certainly was a wild one! As always thank YOU for being here and listening! Woo Pig!

He is involved with ARprospects.com and knows a lot about instate baseball talent. After our call with Blake, Chad and I get into the usual. We dole out our high fives, best friends, and punches. I then share some stats about +/- in basketball that I gathered for the season and found some interesting news for Cylla and Henderson. We then discuss the lowest conference win percentages that the basketball team has ever gotten in SEC play and still made the tournament. Our hopes for dancing seem to be fading fast. The upcoming games against LSU and Texas A&M are must win.  Hope you enjoy the show!!

    Kentucky won the battle, but we may have won the war. (Ep. 24)

    Hog fans! Thanks for tuning in for yet another week!

    On this week's show Chad and I bash on air pods and then get into our Vandy and Kentucky reactions. Has the team had an identity crisis lately? I then quiz Chad on some mid season stat leaders on the team. Spoiler alert: Mason Jones has been our best player, and it's not close. We then preview Mississippi State and TCU. As always Razorback Hockey gets a shout out. And Chad hates football.

    Much love!
