It's a real shitty thing to put down other member institutions. Don't snub your nose at the fine folks of Arkansas. You are being an obnoxious douche.

So you are saying Texas best days were three or so decades ago. Damn.

I mean I hate Texas but that is really harsh. Have you looked into therapy for your self loathing?

Major Sports National Championships since 1992

Arkansas 1
Georgia 0

Total National Athletic Championships since 1992

Arkansas 32
Georgia...not that many

What has UGA contributed to the SEC since Arkansas has become a member? Doesn't seem like much.

Yeah. West Virginia. Pretty sure it's the only state in the Union with a population that has declined since the 1940s.

I don't think that's true with Miami but FSU most certainly ducked.

Arkansas owns Texas in todays football landscape and have many many more Athletic National Championships than Texas....and yall will never catch up. Keep daydreaming about those victorys from the 1950's for your self esteem though. Texas does less with more worse than Georgia and that is HARD to do. How is that LH network working out pint size cowboy?

Hogs were top 20 programs in football, basketball, track, and baseball the 15 years before we were invited. So athletic program was in better shape than it is today. Also, the SEC was looking to have a championship game in football and needed 2 divisions and 12 teams to be able to do that.

It wasn't as much about TV eyes back then as it was Arkansas was viewed with more respect as an athletic program nationally and SEC was looking at the revenue a football championship game could produce. Also, geographically we were an easy add. The SEC thought getting us could also be a gateway to getting Texas too. But the Texas legislature wouldn't allow Texas to leave by themselves and abandon the other schools on the SWC.

Thank goodness Frank Broyles has the forsight and the clout to get us out of the sinking ship known as the SWC.
