ok. i'm just saying, we matched LSU this year and ended 2nd in the SEC. You keep pointing to losing 2 of 3 as if it's a horrible stat, when really it still makes arkansas a top 10 team in the nation.
Arkansas and LSU have different standards. 10-2 while looking pressing throughout the year is a GREAT season for Arkansas. 10-2 while struggling through some games is a Good season for LSU. It's different, different program standards.

Here's the thing: Arkansas isn't as shitty of a program as you're making it out to be. We've been to the SECCG 3 times since joining the conference, across 2 different coaches. That 3 times is equal to Auburn (until this week) and only 1 appearance less than LSU.
Until you win an SEC title, you are 4th best in your own division.
And no doubt the program is improving, but next year is the true test. Road games at LSU, Alabama, Ole Miss. New QB (although IMO he's the 2nd best passer in the SEC right now)

yeah, this is a great year for arkansas, mostly because of the BCS bowl chances. I would never say otherwise. That doesn't mean i think the program has reached its maximum potential.

4th best historically in our own division, true. but i never suggested otherwise.
just pointing out that we have, in fact, been competitive in the West. It's not crazy to think Petrino can win here when lesser coaches have taken Arkansas to the SECCG, and Petrino's already gotten us a potential BCS bowl berth only 3 years in.

Why is it ridiculous, where is all that talent, and what has it done since 2002? If it was one year such as LSU had in 08 you could blame it all on coaching or bad luck whatever you wanted to really. But they have been underachieving for several years. And they are getting pushed around on the field, they just are not that good. They are getting out recruited by UF, FSU, UCF, South Florida. LSU has gone down there and stolen recruits from them that would have ever happened 10 or 15 years ago. It is not what it used to be, now maybe Petrino could change that but why would he want to when he appears to be going in the right direction at Arky. If he wins in the SEC west he has far more prestige than in the shitty ACC.
