"Pulled Pork, Texas Style." That was the headline on the front of The Morning News' sports page Sunday morning plastered above my five-column photo of Casey Dick getting stripped of the football. That's exactly how it went down in Austin on Saturday afternoon. No illusions. It was a fabulous disaster.
Early in the first quarter linebacker Jerry Franklin made a sweet play breaking up a pass to one of Texas' tight ends. The thought that the Hogs might get something going this time around actually crossed my mind.
D.J. Williams breaks loose after a catch for a first down.
I thought I was dreaming when London Crawford made this catch. It was an amazing catch. It was London Crawford! Again, I thought Arkansas might actually hang with the Longhorns in this one.
I was wrong. The Longhorn defense shut down the Razorbacks' running game. Michael Smith only had 42 yards on the ground.
Whenever Arkansas did complete passes there was always a Texas defender there making a quick tackle. Joe Adams only had 29 yards off two catches.
Arkansas' defense had a hard time stopping the Longhorns on the ground.
And in the air.
Bill Murray had a great time, even though he's not a Longhorn fan. He's from Illinois. He did get to meet Bevo and bang on Big Bertha, the big ass drum in the north end zone.
I think the Texas Cowboys even let Murray fire off Smokey. They fired that damned cannon off at least 20 times during the course of the game. Needless to say it got old.
Really old!
Next up for Arkansas is Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators. Oh Boy! By now you've probably heard they were beat by Houston Nutt's Rebels by one point on Saturday?
"Would you like a half slab or full slab Mr. Tebow?"

damn marc. you can shoot the hell out of a football game. good job bro.
As much as I love watching Arkansas lose, its just not the same without watching a sad Houston Nutt leaving the field. Man, I loved watching that guy lose.
Great stuff. Looks like a blast.
