If it ever looks like a win for Arkie is looming, I'll just think back to this 1998 classic...

Not even close. Overall, I don't remember a time when the SEC as a conference was this weak.



Yeah, I don't know what their smoking. I know both fan bases are pumped about how well everything is going, but the SEC is about as bad as I've ever seen it. Couple good teams, thats it. All of college football is down, right now.

SEC title wasn't on the line in the LSU-Arkie game last year. We all know what happens when it is.

They are an elite team this year. The BCS game last year was great, and if they do it again next year. YES.....they will be an elite team.

Good lord... Why did you type up such a long write up about a team no one gives a shite about...

Good thing it's not many previous years... oh wait... that's what the OP's whole premise was about! History.

The thread isn't about the game, douche nozzle. It was about the fact that some of your fans think your program is elite.


Which is laughable.

douche nozzle?

Maybe you missed all the 'history' the OP tried to throw out.

Maybe you just missed a lot of things in life. Who knows.

It was a joke, not intended as an actual insult.

No here it is.

I have to chuckle when I hear Arkansas fans proudly claim that their program should now be counted among the "elite" in college football, or when some leathery, gap-toothed artifact of the Ozarks peaks his head out the meth shack long enough to gum some garbled argument about Arkansas being a traditional power. There's absolutely no rational basis for either sentiment. To wit:

In its entire history, Arkansas has won just a single recognized national championship, which they split with Alabama.

Arkansas has no national titles since 1964, nearly half a century ago.

Arkansas has never finished #1 in the AP poll.

Arkansas has not finished in the AP Top 10 since 1982.

In almost twenty years of participation in the league, Arkansas has NEVER won the SEC. Not once.

In the last thirty-two years, Arkansas has won a grand total of two conference championships - both in a conference that no longer even exists.

Arkansas' overall historical winning percentage is in the lower half of the SEC, behind Bama, Tennessee, UGA, LSU, Auburn, and Florida.

Arkansas has appeared in only a single BCS bowl, which it promptly lost to Ohio State.

Overall, Arkansas is a putrid 12-23-3 in bowl games, including an appalling 3-13 in its last sixteen bowl appearances.

Since joining the SEC, Arkansas is 3-8 in its bowl games.

During the last thirty-three years, Arkansas has won just a single marquee "New Year's Day" bowl game - the 2000 Cotton Bowl.

The Hogs' all-time record against SEC foes is 108-133-5. The Razorbacks have winning records against only Ole Miss, MSU, South Carolina, and Vandy.

Arkansas: The Official Afterthought (TM) Of the SEC.

O SEC Titles and Counting...



So tell me where he mentioned the game coming up on friday. The thread is not about the game, it's about the program.
