[quote]When we joined the SEC anyone with half a brain knew what we were walking into in football. These were teams we were struggling against in bowls and we’d be playing them weekly. What the hell did anyone think. Plus we were dealing with coaching problems at the time with Hatfield leaving, then...

[quote]How is home field not an advantage?
TBH, it is a great venue and with the investment OKC has made it it, I think it should stay there, but to claim it is not an advantage is disingenuous

Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have no more advantage in OKC than Nebraska and Creighton baseba...

re: Why does Arkansas never play in state schools?
Posted by Gunga Din on 5/29/24 at 1:53 pm
[quote]Agreed. The reasoning I always heard was around in-state recruiting. It would only hurt Arkansas and help Arkansas State. In the NIL world, that's no longer very relevant.[/quote]
I think the game would generate a lot of interest since they haven't ever played.
Back when ASU was at a ...

[quote]To summarize the first 3 pages now, we all agree LR is a little bitch[/quote]
One of the most fascinating things about Lincoln Riley is that as despised as he is... and as lousy as a coach as OU fans think he is now days...
He is... and likely will always be.... the winningest coach (pe...

[quote]And an incorrect thought. Maybe search some recent schedules for all sports for Arkansas and it’s got Arkansas state schools amongst the teams played. Then start/not start a thread.[/quote]
The fact that Arkansas and Arkansas State have NEVER met in football is probably what drives that in...

re: Pete Thamel: Scholarship limits for baseball likely eliminated
Posted by Gunga Din on 5/28/24 at 2:12 am
[quote]But most schools don't want to do that. They choose the former option. That means if schools wanted to increase scholarships for baseball, they'd have to also offer more womens scholarships or they'd need to cut other mens sports scholarships.
If history teaches us anything, it means less ...

Posted by Gunga Din on 5/27/24 at 3:52 pm
[quote]Yes, it clearly did. You hate LSU so your response is typical.[/quote]
I'd feel differently about that play if the LSU second base player actually had a chance to field that ball. That was going to be a hit all the way.
During the season I had the understanding that the umps could re...
