Arkansas wasn't exactly fielding a bunch of scrubs from 2007 to 2010


Actually, yes, 2007 to 2009 were very mediocre years for Arkansas:

2007 8-5 (4-4)
2008 5-7 (4-4)
2009 8-5 (3-5)
2010 10-3 *second best Arkansas team we've played since they've joined the SEC

And came very close to losing to some of their worst teams...

2013 Jennings miracle 99 yard drive to win a game we got dominated by a 3-9 team
2012 Arkansas (4-8 John L Smith team) was throwing for the win at the end of the game

We always seem to throw a shitfest when we play Arkansas.

Let me help you out since obviously you don't know what you're talking about in regards to our football team.

2007: best backfield in the SEC all time. Held back by subpar coaching. A great deal of active coaches are winning the title or at the least the SEC with that roster.

2008: Rebuilding season under Pertrino's first year. Came on as of late and lost a ton of close games. You lost on the final play and as I remember, LSU was in a down year as well. Casey Dick on his last hoorah!!!

2009: Decent squad with close loss to Georgia and an absolute job against Florida at Florida. The SEC had no choice but to suspend Marc Curles and crew for obviously costing Arkansas the game. This didn't stop bad officiating as LSU player was tackled 2 feet in bounds and the clock still stopped. Should have been 3 in a row.

2010: Lost to defending national champion Bama and future national champion Auburn. I was surprised y'all actually made a game of it.

This season we are just the better football team. It took figuring out the identity on offense and getting over injuries but this season panned out as it should have. Bama is the best and Arkansas is 2nd.

Y'all had a good team, but most considered you the 4th best team in the West. We all saw what Ohio State did to you.

Yes, those emojis really capture my reaction as well after each of those wins. You weren't the better team in any of those seasons minus 2008. Deal with it.

If he would come out and set the record straight, it would save him much heartache.

If he held back, changed calls, sat on leads etc...I think it would go a long way with the fan base to have an explanation.

Basically: I want to hear him say:Yeah we could have hung 40 on UF but I didn't want to do it.

If Herndon scoops the blocked punt and walks 20 ft into the endzone we win.

Not gonna beat Bama and more often than not gonna lose to Arkansas. Gonna get slipped up on most years by somebody not expected to do much. Uphill battle to be SEC champs when 2 of your division rivals beat you more often than not.

This stat here is probably the most embarrassing of them all. The others will eventually happen every now and then but with LSU's talent level, 5 losses to Arkansas in 11 years is something nobody in their right mind can defend.


Saban lost to them twice in 5 years. Bout the same ratio. And never was Arkansas ranked #3 in that time frame. And one of them was 14-3 with Jimbo Fisher as his oc.

But people tend to forget wanting to run those two out of town.

Alabama and Arky are in the WEST, so they become road blocks to everything.

He is LSUs coach. So he is a major college coach. Skip Bertman hired him, Alleva kept him, go tell them this. And 4 wins was a good season for Oklahoma state before Les got there. They were better after hiring him. Not worse. He had way less to work with than what saban did at LSU and had a better record in his first season and beat Oklahoma twice. Saban lost to UAB and got stomped annually by UF.

The bottom line is this: In Miles tenure, LSU has won more against the piggies than they have lost. The overall series is 37-23-2 in favor of LSU.

Furthermore, the fact that you, GV and other piggie posters are still lurking on tRant and posting in threads 3 days after your Super Bowl victory, proves the point of your inferiority complex when it comes to LSU.

Move along, enjoy your 2 game winning streak and realize that losing to a program as irrelevant as Arkansas does suck for us.

Have a nice evening.
