Why don't you look at our all time record with them it might surprise you. This hire is important to us for the future of our program. If Petrino was here we would be going to a bowl and probably would have beaten TAMU again this year. What are they 4-1 out of the past 5? get real.

look through the windshield, not the rear view mirror razorback fans!! wins against aggy in the 80s wont help you when sumlin is wearing out your defense in the 2nd qtr.

How bout the 3 wins 2009, 2010, and 2011?

are either of the head coaches of either program still coaching who won/lost those games?

Wait, so you're saying things can change from year-to-year

its college football. of course things change from year to year. what i am saying is that just b/c you beat A&M in 09,10,11 doesnt mean you will just beat them forever b/c huge factors have changed. 1. you dont have your really good coach anymore, and 2. they got rid of their average coach and hired a really good one. add in the fact that few, if any players from those teams will be around the next few years, and you have a completely different situation going forward than just a few years ago. how is this so hard to comprehend? i think hog fans are in denial of just how valuable bob petrino was.


in my opinion, the 2 most important factors in college football are your head coach(and top assistants) and your recruiting ground. as of now, A&M is in better shape in both. maybe yall hire the next urban meyer/nick saban and he rules the SEC for the next 10 years. i doubt it. but until you do hire someone besides john l smith, they will always have recruiting over you, and now they have a better coach. deal with it, piggies

i'd rather be in aggy's shoes (ugh- cant believe i just said that) with their coach of the future than to be arky hoping to god they hire the right guy, and praying he can do what petrino did (which was still not enough to beat the big dogs)

quote:

Big dogs? You mean, THE big dog? As in, Alabama. Petrino had no problem beating LSU just as many times as they beat him. Alabama was his only problem.

---

ok, then. bob won no hardware while at arkansas. this is a fact. unless youre counting that shitbag cotton bowl trophy

That's fine to say "he won no hardware" while at Arkansas. The statement, "Arkansas couldn't hang with the big dogs" is absolutely false.

Petrino went 2-2 against LSU, 3-1 against Auburn, 1-1 against UGA, 3-1 against South Carolina, and 0-4 against Alabama. Those teams were the highest ranking SEC teams during Petrino's tenure.

So, your statement is false. Feel free to change the original wording of your statement so you can win this argument though.

Is this you trying to save face after you make an idiotic statement?

You said, "Arkansas could not beat the big dogs with Petrino" yet I've proven you wrong. Now, you change your argument. Interesting.

Seems as though maybe you should do a little research, or be more informed before opening your cock holster.

What?

I'm butthurt, yet you are the one who got called on posting bullshite.

Ooook

Not if you know anything about Arky's and A&M's history. If you did you would know at one point when it was in the SWC, Arky was one of the most relevant programs in the state of Texas and often got second pick at the talent in the state. During most of that time A&M was a small military school.

Hence a lopsided all-time record that won't be reflective of the future as A&M is now a major power in Texas and Texas kids don't give a shite about Arky.

Hires always are. The one thing that the "next year we might be good" theory doesn't acknolwedge is that your last coach did poor with recruiting which holds back the short term potential of your next coach.

A&M's rise this year was because Sherman during his time here out recruited Petrino and many other coaches in the SEC. He averaged top 25 classes with a strong emphasis on the offensive line and so we have something to build on. But even we know that isn't enough - you need top 10 classes to compete in the SEC and that is what I expect from Sumlin in the next two years.

Meanwhile apparently Arky fans would be ecstatic with a Sherman-level top 25 class.

I think not. He barely beat A&M last year, and that A&M team had worse conditioning and worse defensive play than this year's team. I think Sumlin beats him this year if he was around.

But the point is he is not, and he didn't leave much for the next coach. In fact he left so little that the next coach would most logically need to take a step back (to get players for his system since all of Arky's players are fit for Petrino's crazy system) before a step forward can happen.

In that time A&M will just keep getting better, putting Arky further in the rear view mirror.

Sad to see how short sighted some people are.
