Always we have this and going to do that. I see my question hasn't been answered. How many major bowls has Arkansas been to that you can remember and how many have they won?

Arkansas has played in seven major bowls in just my lifetime. That's three more than State's entire history.

Arkansas has been to numerous Cotton, Sugar, Citrus, Fiesta, and an Orange bowl, that I can remember.

Our fans showed up to watch the games, many of which resulted in a victory.

Because his team had a month to prepare for a team that runs 99% of their plays up the middle and were humiliated in front of the 100s of Ms. State fans that showed up to watch the game.

We'd be mad to if we just had our shite pushed in by a one dimensional team.

Since Arkansas joined the SEC they have been to the same number of major bowls as MSU. They then became the only SEC team to ever lose to Ohio State in a bowl. Ever. By the way Citrus Bowl is not major, nor was the Fiesta back when Arkansas went in the days of sideburns and bell bottoms. I do recall the last time Arkansas went to the Orange Bowl way back in 1986. Seems like Oklahoma won something like 42-8. Would that be correct?

This was the biggest year in the history of their program and their fans couldn't even bother showing up for the game.

Most of us here are old enough to remember Arkansas played football long before joining the SEC.

Sorry your lifetime timeline is of no interest to me.

Yes, it was and is.

No. Arkansas stomped the shite out of top ranked OU after suspending several key players before the bowl game.

Yeah, but 10k less showed up at their home games to watch their greatest team ever than what showed up to watch Arkansass' shitty 7-6 team.

More people showed up to watch two shitty 6-6 team face off in the Texas Bowl than they did to watch the two Ms. schools play in the biggest Egg Bowl matchup in 50 years.

I'm quite old enough to remember the SWC. I'm probably older than you, and I still can't recall the last time Arkansas won a major bowl. I think it might have been when Gerald Ford was president.

Wrong. That happened in the 70's. In fact, that was Arkansas' last major bowl win. I guess you selectively forgot 1986?

You're 5-15 against us over 20 seasons.

Here's the thing, dummmy. Even if you were to prove your thesis that Arkansas sucks and hasn't ever won anything, you just prove that State can only beat this "really shitty program" 5 times in 20 tries.

Go ring a bell.

Arkansas didn't play in the Orange bowl in 1986. If you are talking about 1987, yeah, that major bowl slipped my mind, but that happens when your team has been to so many, Ms. State fans will never have that problem, very few will have witnessed the games.

Arkansas won the Cotton Bowl just a couple of seasons ago.
