Jesus Christ, you would honestly think for all the chest beating and, "look at me, look at me!" attitude Arky has they would at least have some HARDWARE to show for it.

You say LSU fans "blanket themselves" in the pics of our 2 BCS National Titles, yet you are on here posting hugely inconsequential pictures considering your team still has accomplished nothing and is at best 2nd tier among the big dogs in the SEC.

Run along now, piggie...your seat is at the back of the bus.

My feeling would change if Arky was winning the SEC or competing for national championships... up until that point I view them as a good program that LSU should beat... and failing to do so says more to me about LSU underachieving than anything else


LSU has won SEC and BCS Championships and Arky hasn't, but to me, this fact wouldn't give me a reason to think any loss to Arky is a fluke or upset.

The strength of the teams changes every season, and the last 6 years the average margin of victory is 3.5 points and the series is tied 3-3. The biggest margin of victory in the last 6 years was this past year with Arky winning by 8. Since I've been alive, Arkansas is 8-11 verse LSU. That's a pretty damn close series.

It's not like LSU's been dominating the SEC with Miles. He's won one conference championship in 6 years - which is great, but yall aren't exactly the Yankees or anything.

The SEC was making tOSU their bitch until Arky came along and fricked that all up. Way to represent.


Again, if LSU was capable of making the conference look any better than Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl, they would have beat Arky for the bid, but they couldn't.

Clearly Arky was not the right answer. Better leave tOSU to the big boys of the SEC.

How many SEC teams beat the 2010 tOSU Buckeyes? 0.

How many SEC teams have a better record than the Buckeyes over the past two seasons? 0.

How many SEC teams finished ahead of tOSU in 2010? 1.

How many times has LSU finished ranked ahead of tOSU in the last 3 years? 0.

What happened last time LSU faced a Big 10 team? They lost to Penn State in the Citrus Bowl. Penn St was lower ranked that year than tOSU was this year.

Funny how you arbitrarily select 3 years to exclude LSU absolutely embarrassing tOSU on national television.

Through all that drivel you posted about the SEC allegedly not being able to hang with tOSU, you fail to consider ONE thing:


1-9 The SEC doesn't have a problem handling tOSU. Arky does.

tOSU's 2007 team is nothing like their 2010 team; same goes for LSU whose 2010 team was nothing like their 2007 team. I was using the most relevant data to show that in the most recent times with their current personnel, tOSU has been better than LSU (2010, 2009, and 2008).

The SEC sans Auburn had a problem earning a BCS bid. Arkansas didn't.

Good for you. That's 2 in a row.

Last time they played a Big 10 before that they beat Ohio State in the Superdome (Something "The Flagship" couldn't do BTW) for the National Title.

Meanwhile, last time Arky played someone from the Big 10 before Mallett took one too many hits of PCP on the sideline and cost y'all the game against Ohio State, they played Wisconsin in the Citrus Bowl in 06/07. Funny how the "greatest backfield of all time" couldn't beat Wisconsin.


In fact, Arkansas hasn't beaten a "Notable" out of conference opponent other than TA&M since y'all got lucky and beat Texas and Missouri back in 2003.

Unless you want to count your Liberty Bowl OT win over ECU as a Major Victory.

In the OP, I just pointed out reasons why LSU fans are bothered by tFlagship. LSU fans on here are so sensitive to positive talk about Arkansas on here and I was just diagnosing why that is.

It was you and others who have tried to make it out like I'm saying yall should respect Arkansas more. If you read my OP, there's nothing indicating that at all. Yall just feel threatened b/c I note some of Arkansas's wins over LSU in the recent past so yall throw up pictures of your BCS championships and are compelled to remind me Arkansas lost the Sugar Bowl and is a second tier SEC team (again, this goes back to my point of LSU fans being easily bothered by tFlagship).
