Sure SOUNDS like you're trying to flame.

Making excuses just to ignore the obvious is one thing (see Houston Nutt's tenure at Arkansas). But the problems with the Arkansas team (defense) are legitimate excuses.

You make it sound like Arkansas was supposed to be a BCS team this year. Most people predicted us to finish somewhere between 4-6th in the SEC-W. The most important thing I, as an Arkansas fan, want to see is progress. This team is miles better than last year. Hopefully that will continue next year.

Now, I wonder how teams that have so many future NFL quality players on both sides of the ball can deal with losing multiple games the last two years that they had no business losing.

Arkansas has very little in state Div I talent. I know, i was born and raised there, so I feel I know a little about this. And on top of that, lools like the #1 recruit from Arkansas is going to Auburn. Ark has got to keep all of the in state talent and that causes problems on being a consistent contender in the SEC. I personally think Ark would kick arse in the Big 12 N. Louisiana on the other hand has tons of H.S. Div I talent ( most years anyway). LSU's problem on the other hand is not players, it is coaching. I give Miles one more year ( if he fires Crowton). One of the things that Saban did for LSU is elevate expectations. That has not diminshed since he left. Another thing that I have mentioned in other posts is that Baton Rouge may be in the most perfect place to recruit ( I10 corridor from Houston-East Texas to Fla panhandle. Just my 2 cents worth
