Does Ark's recent influx of money to the program, coming stadium expansion, Top 10 ranking by Forbes and WSJ, and Top 5 finish last year signify the arrival of the football program to the country's elite?

In short, does the ability to "buy success" make Arkansas an elite FB program? What says the rant?

Let's see...

Bama - 2 NC, 1 SECC in the last 3 years
LSU - 2 NC, 3 SECC in the last 9 years
UF - 2 NC, 2 SECC in the last 6 years
Arkansas - 0 NC, 0 SECC in the last 20 years

In short, false.

When they start winning nattys or SEC championships, come back and ask. BUT they certainly a team that shouldn't be taken lightly. Every season, I'm more nervous for the Arkansas game than any other game.

I think they were let up for air as a cruel joke and are about to have their face shoved back into the toilet to drown.

see The Death of Razorback football, pg 3-7. I'm told they can now buy success and are at the table w/ LSU and Bama in the SEC

Just looking for some more opinions

No but we're 10 times better than we were 5 years ago. I think we're a top 15 job that can have a top 5 season every so often with the right coach

translation: There was already a thread with this discussion going on but SunHog was getting the best of me so I needed some rantard backup support.

you agree w/ Sun Hog's assertion that Ark has arrived? I'm curious to hear more evidence outside of an influx of money and support, which is basically what he's hanging his argument on.

Are we on the level of Bama, LSU, Florida as far as program prestige, success?

No and we probably won't ever be but that doesn't mean we won't ever get an SEC title or NC. We lack the ability to be consistently very good. Most schools do (hell, look at Flroida and how shitty they are compared to what they were (USC, FSU, etc etc)

Are we on the same level as far as money goes?

Yes. We have deep pockets and can offer top 5 to 10 $$$ to coaches.
