Unbelievable season for all three teams, if you ask me.

We are fortunate to be seeing some of the best of the best of LSU Tiger football. Now to take care of those pigs.....

Why isn't this game getting fraction of the press that the Bama/LSU got?

Because (a) Bobby Petrino didn't coach both schools, (b)Arkansas doesn't get jacked off by the media like Alabama, Notre Dame, USCw, OU, THE do. Arky isn't a "tradition power", so Herbstriet et al doesn't consider them, and therefore the present, relevant. (c) It's 1 vs 3, not 1 vs. 2 (weak, but since none of these reasons will ever be made tangibly provable, why not)
Also, no one outside of TD.com thinks Arky can win.

they are both not undefeated. THey aren't both widely considered to be the top two teams in the country by large margin

The best season in the history of the program. Historical times my fellow tiger fans. What makes it sweeter we beat the "best bama team ever" according to some Gumps.

Bama is better.
Bama beat Ark by two or three TDs.
Ark struggled vs Vandy. Vandy handed them the game.

agree with your post.
(btw - I was at the game in '59.)
but, I just noticed you sig quote - has it been up a long time and I didn't see it before?
It reminds me of a popular quote going around in my earlier career in aerospace.
"time is nature's way of preventing everything from happening at once."

FIFY
Only Hog fans think Arky wins. People seem to think that all the hypothetical talk means that people think LSU will lose.
On the flip side, if you don't think Arky COULD win, they you haven't watch much college football.

LSU had no real trouble in winning its first 6 games in 1959, though its offense was not as potent as 1958's. Its defense made up for it by being even stingier, allowing only 6 points in 6 games. In the 7th game of the season LSU faced its sternest test—undefeated Ole Miss on Halloween in Tiger Stadium. That game between No. 1 LSU and No. 3 Ole Miss was touted as 1959's "Game of the Year." Ole Miss held a 3–0 lead until the 4th quarter, often punting on first down due to the wet conditions on the field. With about 10 minutes left in the game, Ole Miss punted and Billy Cannon took the punt at the LSU 11. Cannon charted a course along the Ole Miss sidelines, weaving between Rebel defenders, eluding tacklers, and racing towards the goal line for an 89 yard punt return score. Ole Miss then started a determined drive and marched down to the two yard line where it was 4th and goal with 18 seconds left. The Ole Miss ball carrier was stopped at the one by Cannon and his teammates to ensure the 7–3 victory. However the next week, LSU lost its next SEC game against Tennessee at Knoxville, 14–13, when Cannon's attempt at a 2 pt conversion failed. The Tigers finished the season without another loss, 9–1, and they were ranked No. 3 in the nation behind No. 1 Syracuse and No. 2 Ole Miss.
In the meantime Billy Cannon won the Heisman Trophy by one of the widest margins in the history of the trophy balloting. The Tigers were invited to play in the Sugar Bowl, and their opponent was to be none other than Ole Miss, in a rematch. At first Paul Dietzel, LSU's coach, was not anxious to replay the Rebels, but he was persuaded to do so by the athletic director, Jim Corbett. By the time Jan. 1 came, three LSU star players were injured, including quarterback Warren Rabb, and halfbacks Wendell Harris and Johnny Robinson. The Tigers were soundly beaten by the Rebels, 21–0.

I feel sorry for what Our D is going to do to Wilson. Damn shame what's going to happen to him Friday.

If LSU stays on Arky's QB all day, it will be on a luxury cruise to a Tiger victory.
If not...
...Arkansas will win.
I have the WooPigs in an upset. So Sooie me.
