In anticipation of today's battle against Alabama, we asked Rasputin, our staff soothsayer and a seemingly ageless Russian immigrant, to offer his prediction for the game. A deeply emotional and volatile man, Rasputin has been a rabid Razorbacks football fan since the program's debut in 1894.
His game forecast is after the jump:
"While contemplating this gentle fall rain,
I am overcome by feelings of dread and of pain.
Oh from these feelings, I wish I could hide,
but I foresee defeat at the hands of the Tide.
Too inexperienced is the offensive line,
And Jake B's absence won't help the swine.
The mighty warriors of Alabama - 28,
the mighty warriors of Arkansas - 21."

Well, we've heard from Rasputin. Now let's hear from you. Vote in the poll, and pipe up in the comments thread.
