Should Arkansas follow Grambling's lead?

Will you follow my lead if I gnaw on some arsenic?

God I hate that pussy move. They're throwing a temper tantrum because they suck and their ride isn't as cool as the bigger kids. If I was their AD I would kick everyone of them off the team and have open tryouts first thing on Monday.

I love it. This is what Arky football has come to.

On a more serious note, I think Arkansas should entertain the idea of joining the Big 12. Their program has basically been in a downward spiral since leaving the SWC and the Texas recruits that came with it...A&M joining the SEC definitely helps them, but imagine if they could have annual games against Baylor, TCU, Tech, UT, plus A&M, whose already locked in at Jerryworld for 10 years.

I think this may be the only card they have left to play at this point. Like OU, they live and die by Texas recruiting, since their own state produces about as many quality D1 football players as places like South Dakota and Idaho, who don't even have "BCS" schools.

The Texas recruiting boost plus being in the weakest of the "BCS" conferences would result in consistent 9-10 win seasons, and rejuvenate interest in the football program.

Unlike the hard feelings shown toward A&M and Mizzou for leaving the Big 12, I don't think SEC members would fault Arkansas for making this move, nor blackball them from future OOC schedules. With the new playoff era on the horizon, SEC schools needs mid-tier BCS schools (i.e. Oregon State, Purdue, Rutgers, Central Florida, Arkansas, etc) on their OOC schedule instead of the next tier down (La Monroe, Sam Houston State, etc). Arkansas' geographic proximity to A&M, LSU, Bama and even Mizzou would make them easy to continue playing.

In summary, its a win win for everyone.

You're going to feel like a dumbass if Alabama loses tomorrow.

Then again you probably feel like a dumbass all the time so you wouldn't notice the difference.
