If those bowl games are meaningless, please list out the meaningful bowl games Arkansas has played in, idk, the last 30 years?


None. Difference being, since we're talking about a lack of self awareness, I'm not the one going around acting like my team is great. I actually called us mid level SEC. Which is exactly what Texas just signed up to be. I've accepted it. Perhaps one day you will too.

By beating both teams last year by a combined 44 points?

Take it up with your coach, not me. I'm concluding based on your performance against said programs.

I'll be sure to tell him to keep winning those games by a combined 6+ touchdowns

I don't play for the team, but the team had a margin of victory of 44 points against said programs last year

The Tide plays South Florida the next week. The Alabama defense can afford to sit out the first half against South Florida. Keep up the smack talk tu, right up to game time.
You telling your real Dad that your step dad is going to beat him up is pretty funny.

And your 3-5 record against the SEC in the last 11 seasons.

Save it for next year when we play. You and your team will quickly fade into irrelevance and be forgotten this year.

I think it depends on the situation. Georgia’s crowd did a number on us last year ( I’m not saying it’s exactly why we lost ). I don’t think we beat Bryce Young if it weren’t for Neyland last season. I think the crowd played a huge roll in limiting Alabama early in the game, they obviously adjusted and scored a ton later on, but holding them down early proved to be pivotal

Nothing says "you're irrelevant" like participating in another thread about said team started by a fan of another school. Nor does creating your entire school's identity around hating said team to the point that half of your gameday traditions are centered around them even when you're not playing them

LOL

This thread is about Texas. So not even wasting time or thought on your attempt to deflect.

You want to argue against the merits of what I actually stated or keep deflecting?

Anyway

It’s not me making these statements. It’s the national media. Texas picked bc all of the other teams appear to have concerns.

So yet again.

Fan of 5-7 TAMU makes fun of team being picked to finish first in their respective conference. News at 11.

I... never... accused any team on this board as irrelevant like you did? Also, it's a post about the school I graduated from and the team I follow?

Then why did you deflect and talk about the Big 12?

Sure! You said Big 12 was a competition of the tallest midget. Yet, somehow a&m only won that competition 1/16 years they were in that league, and have since had more success in the SEC than the "tallest midget" league. I was simply calling out the fallacy in your argument and how it's throwing stones from glass houses when a&m fared even worse in said league than the supposedly superior league your school is in right now.

Texas was picked to win the league because other pundits think their team is in a better position to win the league? NO WAY!!??!?!

Do you have a newsletter I can subscribe to?

Damn... imagine going to a school where you were so thoroughly dominated by a league of midgets that you had to run away... to a league you finish dead last in


Never change, ags. Never change.

tu is never irrelevant before the season starts, ESipPN makes sure of that. It usually takes a couple games for the truth to come out.

We were in contention for the Big 12 CG until Kansas State beat Kansas in their last game of the season.

When was TAMU mathematically eliminated from winning the SEC?

We stunk last year. Nobody has maroon colored glasses about this year.

thanks for proving my point. You can't even call them "Texas" or even call the network "ESPN"

God it's great patting you adorable little tykes on the head while y'all beg for our attention

Very ironic take from a fan of a team that started preseason No. 6 last year only for that to evaporate in *checks notes* a couple of games due to paying $1.5 million to App State for them to come into your stadium and whoop y'all's arse

Well if any team's fans know about lofty preseason expectations and then an inglorious fall it would be a tu fan.

the idea of "bulletin baord material" is nonsense IMO
I generally agree with this 100%, but it may be a close game...and insulting 100k people and basically challenging them to be loud is probably the only material that could matter.
