You left off the rest of the headline: "Texas is a joke... now, but move to SEC will help revive Longhorns"

And if Texas football is a joke, then Arkansas obviously is too. Unfortunately you've had the benefit of being in the SEC for 30 years and are still a joke.

Anyway, past, present, future, doesn't matter. If you're the SEC commissioner putting together a plan for expansion, who's your top choice? It's obviously Texas, no matter if we're in 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020.

You think it's a coincidence that every single expansion the SEC has made just randomly included a Texas rival?

Yes. I think geography and cultural fit drove decisions considerably more than some latent desire to bring Texas into the fold.

You honestly believe that the SEC consciously went after rivals of Texas, playing the long game to finally lure the "white whale" into the conference?

But here’s the real issue. Yes, Arkansas struggles compared to the rest of the conference in football and probably always will, I’ll admit it. The embarrassing thing is that Texas struggles and shouldn’t. There is no comparison in money and resources between the two. Arkansas does the best with what it has for the most part but Texas Waaay under achieves.
