...is absurd. Wisconsin is not a better job than Arkansas. In every measurable way Arkansas has a better historical program. Wins, winning percentage, bowls, national titles. And this is from an LSU fan.

I think you mean "Midwestern media" but I get your drift, and I tend to agree.

Wisconsin fans think their team has a rich history filled with championships. I have met quite a few of their fans the last year. They live in their own B1G bubble. It's sad really.

Oh, so we have another Midwestern fanbase mad at us for stealing their coach?

They can now join Mizzou and Nebraska and form a knitting circle...

I would say Wisconsin and Arkansas are comparable from a historical tradition perspective.

SEC >>>> Big 10

Arkansas has more $$ (right?)

According to CFB Data Warehouse....

All-time? #21 to #27, advantage Arkansas.

LINK

Last 50 years? #19 to #24, Arkansas

LINK

Last 25 years? #22 to #28, advantage Wisconsin

LINK

Last 10 years? #13 to #35, advantage Arkansas

fwiw...Wisconsin (11-12) has a much better bowl record win% than Arkansas (13-23-3)

Remember that the Big10 didn't allow bowls games back in the day unless you won the conference

This. Basketball season has started and the northeast media has moved on from football and it sucks.

I meant overall bowl appearances, and while your point about the big 10 is valid, it's a little telling that you have to dig and rationalize to find a verifiable way that Wisconsin has outperformed Arkansas.

..and yeah, midwestern/northeastern whatevah. That part of the country I have no reason to visit.

We're so used to being undersold.

We're also used to people who have never been to Fayetteville assuming its Starkville.
