The Big XII offered. We declined.

FWIW, we have a better winning percentage against every SEC-W team, then we do against Texas.

Arkansas and A&M to me were perfect fits - LSU and A&M played for years and us and Arkansas have a history - a rivalry of our own if you will - as for Arkansas let me ask you this "if there was a 32 team playoff" who outside of the sec west would want to play them, or any SEC west team?" now lets say the first round is Arkansas at Ohio state who here discounts arky? I rest my case - here's Ohio state playing to get in the final four to playoff and I contend arky would beat them! That is the fear of a larger pool in the playoff!

Arkansas doesn't really fit the new B12 profile. You either have to be a small school in Texas willing to be a peon for the longhorns, or at least 1000 miles away from every other team desperate for Big 5 invite.

At least in the SEC the power teams appear to care about the whole league and I think it is the same in the Pac 12 and Big Ten. Texas only cares about Texas.


Damn right

Why would they? Is winning in the 2nd or 3rd best conference better than losing in the best?

Not melting, just curious. Been curious about this for the last few years. I will take my beating like a man. The fact remains that you're now 1 out of your last 18.


What matters however, ye ole corn meal wrapped assortment of slaughterhouse floor parts...is what we do with our NEXT 18...and what Lester and the coonasses do with theirs.

I like it. I like it enough to wager...should you be so foolish.

Also wtf do you mean if offered? LSU, ARKY, ND, FSU and CLemson have invitations all we would have to do is pick up the phone and call Austin.

Funny that an LSU fan would talk about Arkansas to the Big 12 since it is LSU fans who seem to hate everything about the SEC. Arkansas seems happy in the SEC.
