re: How strong has the SEC been since the end of the 2009 season?

Hawgeye Gid bless you but you can't be saved. Your washed in the Piggie blood so deep that you cannot be reasoned with. I do understand completely because I bleed purple and gold. Haha
I will say, as objectively as I am able to do, that y'all are not in the league with the LSU and Alabama's currently. Doesn't mean you can't get there, but your not there YET. Your players are not of the same quality and depth yet. That does not mean you can't beat us (as you have demonstrated). The razorbacks don't garner national respect, hell they even cut your game off last week on espn! Haha.
Just hang in there and keep plugging away! You may pass us one day and we will pay you the respect you will have earned. In the mean time just keep plugging away and try and give the better teams in the league the respect that they have earned. It will make you more respected as a fan base and more enjoyable to discuss sports with without the inferiority complex getting in the way. Arkansas is no Alabama or LSU, period. Everyone but y'all got the memo bro!
