Boogie's great, but I meant Richmond. I know Wagner was rated higher in high school, but he reminds me of a Muss wet dream. ...

re: It's time to restore all forfeited or vacated games.

Since we're righting past wrongs, I'd like to submit that the national champion should have always been awarded after bowl games and thus Arkansas should be the 1965 AP recipient. ...

I thought Hunter Dickinson was higher than that?

I agree with this. There was a time when you knew who the best teams would be because they had the most McDonald's AAs. That no longer matters much. ...
re: How did the 12 SEC teams agree on these East & West permanent rivals for over a decade?
Posted by redeye on 5/9/24 at 4:22 pm
Our past history with Ole Miss and LSU was mostly forgotten by the time we joined the SEC. We hadn't played LSU since 1966 and Ole Miss wasn't much of a threat after that series was resumed in the early 80's.
Tennessee was the only SEC-e border state and it just made sense that we'd play them. A...
re: Coach Cal, Let's get real for a moment!
Posted by redeye on 4/25/24 at 6:28 pm
My bottom line is that Cal is almost certainly better than whoever else we would have hired. Although I prefer hiring up-and-comers, like Alabama did with Oats, our track record of doing that hasn't been great in recent times. Even if Cal is no better than his last few years at Kentucky, it would st...
re: All-Time Top 20 ranking of appearances as #1 in AP football poll

[quote]Arkansas' lone week at #1 in the AP Poll was on October 18, 1965. They defeated previously #1 Texas, 27-24, but fell to #2 the following week despite winning the following week, 55-20, over North Texas. Strange voting by the pollsters there, for sure.[/quote]

re: Curious what everyone thinks as it's kind of been lost in all this - Cal or Muss?
Posted by redeye on 4/10/24 at 3:38 pm
I'd take either of them, but I'd rather have Cal today. I was getting soured on Muss. Every year his teams would have a big problem and he'd wait until the end of the season to fix it, if it got fixed at all. I'm also not a fan of pro coaching in the college game, because college teams need more ref...
re: Kentucky fans, help me understand what happened to Calipari
Posted by redeye on 4/10/24 at 3:14 pm
Some coaches are great in the regular season and some are great in the tourney. Although the latter is considered the greater accomplishment, the former does more for prestige and recognition.
It was nice having good tournament runs under Muss, but the regular season sucked and were irritating. ...

re: The SEC gauntlet schedule mythos
Posted by redeye on 12/13/23 at 9:25 pm
I don't know how it compares today, because I don't keep up with other conferences that much, anymore. When we joined 30 years ago, the SWC was 2-3 tough games and several walkovers. The SEC wasn't as good as today, but there would still only be 1-2 walkover games.
