the recruiting is an issue but truth be told, we just aren't that fricking serious about wanting to win in the SEC. We don't want it enough.
giving up 563 rushing yards and not immediately hanging, drawing and quartering someone on staff tells me all i need to know about the complacency of the administration and the state as a whole as far as desire to be competitive.

I've said this before, but I've never felt like we have a fan base dedicated enough to winning to compete in the SEC. Too many of our fans are caught up with with petty nonsense and not concerned with winning football games.
It's evident when our fan base (or rather, a portion of it) demands the U of A continue an absurdly outdated tradition of playing home games away from campus in a stadium laughably unfit for a P5 program, let alone one in the SEC.
It's evident when our fans treat game days as social events at which they can see and be seen.
It's evident when our boosters are more concerned about access and having a say than winning.
It's evident when our fans root against the very program they claim to support when we play teams led by coaches we either fired (Ole Miss/Nutt) or passed over (Auburn/Malzahn).
It's evident when our fans still obsess over a rivalry that died out a quarter century ago.
Simply put, we don't demand excellence, and we really haven't for decades.
