It pays the bills because most Americans care for football than any sport. Arkansas is no different.

It helps pay for other sports that lack the revenue and having a decent football program helps.

Arkansas fans need to stop having high expectations from a sport that hasn't been relevant since the Hatfield years.

Arkansas needs to have 7 plus winning seasons and win bowl games. That gives you a chance to build the brand from a solid foundation.

Having 2-10 Chad seasons kill any momentum and going through a revolving door of coaches keep you at the bottom.

When those winning seasons are consistent then you can start raising expectations which can be tricky as too high of expectations can send you to the bottom again.

we were a Reggie fish muffed punt away from playing for a national championship in 2006. We were 1 game away from playing in a natty in both 2010 and 2011. I mean we would have been in a 12 team playoff all 3 of those seasons and that’s not that far in the past and well past Hatfield. The last 10 years just really broke most of y’all I guess that’s what 2 4-8, a 3-9, and two 2-10 seasons will do to you, again going back to my OP, that Jeff long, chad, bert and John L cratered us. not Arkansas high school football, or any change in the land scape of college football, just those 4 shitty individuals who had control over our football program.
