I would like for Arkansas to be good at basketball more then I want them to be good in football. I think that is because I played basketball though.


I played a shite ton of basketball as well. HS, etc. I could hold my own, and 15-20 years ago it was all I cared about.

Now, I'd sacrifice our Bball team for football.

Seriously. Tear down the building and use it for football facilities, at the least a new tailgating spot.

Another issue is the NCAAT. The NCAAT has become the Holy Grail for a program, and anything less is epic failure (whether unfair or not).

As great as March Madness is, everyone who isn't involved is relegated to irrelevancy.

I've said it before - I'll take 0-30 in basketball every year for the next decade if it means a Natty in football. I doubt Auburn fans give a shite that they knob in basketball, and I'd feel the same way in their shoes.

I say that as an alum, too.

The one-and-done killed it, and a 68 team tournament pretty much renders the regular season meaningless (yeah yeah, insert obligatory reference to 2011 Alabama).
