re: So as someone who has never visited hogville I have a question

that group of posters maybe the same on both sides as bad as this place has gotten.

Al boarland used to piss me off incredibly how much he ragged on bert during the 14-15 seasons, but now I see that he was just right about how shitty of a coach he was. In 2015 Toledo and when we had that FG blocked against miss st instead of letting Brandon (who was the best player on the field that night) win the game was when I knew for sure he was just a stupid fat frick who needed to go. Al also was not right last year during the early part of our recruiting. He kept bashing our players saying they were just 3 stars, and then they all got bumped to 4 stars. It made him look quite stupid. His realism is partially just being super critical, and negative most of the time. I've grown to not hate him now though.

And while I agree with what you're saying about Boarland and how negative he is, he is often right and the masses over there refuse to believe it. I'm actually surprised he hasn't been permabanned yet.

But you are correct that he was bashing our recruits early on nonstop last fall. When they all got bumped up to 4star, it wasn't a good look.

However, what he is and has been right about is that, even with the amazing number of 4 stars Chad brought in, Arkansas still finished at an overall class rankings of what they always average, somewhere between 20-25. He brought up that point after New Years and pissed off a lot of posters because, from a talent perspective, this was the best class we have had in a long time. Still, he isn't wrong that we finished behind almost every SEC West school in the final recruiting rankings. This claim pissed off the sunshine pumpers big time because they really couldn't claim otherwise (even though some idiots did).

I think what he was trying to get across was that rankings are really only relative to your competition. For instance, if Arkansas finished with a Top 10 national class but still finished last in the division, it shouldn't lend itself to much celebration, unless you have a coach that is capable of outcoaching teams with similar or even slightly better talent. And lets be honest here, Chad has done far from that if not the opposite. But I do enjoy Boarland, despite his negativity, because of how pissed people get at him lol

And how much credibility does that give the other board. This thread is wack...

dude, just having a thread this long... gives publicity to them. It is simple really, all publicity for another board/business draws attention their way.

I agree da ville is a viral infection difficult to get rid of. But it is there and more than sustaining. It makes money for its owner.

Others have tried and failed for just being a Hog related board. I almost bought a board a few years back and was in talks with some media to consider using it. It fell apart and some of the said media went to Da Ville instead.

LSU senior associate athletic director Robert Munson released a statement to SI: “I can confirm there is a meeting scheduled tomorrow with Coach Wade, LSU officials and the NCAA within the parameters LSU first requested in early March. University officials have made clear their expectation for full cooperation and transparency in this first step in a process toward resolution.”

It's just a bigger version of this board. Of course most here are too proud to admit it though.

This board only got shitty after a bunch of Hogville dipshits showed up, though.

Some of us remember the good ole days....
