re: Will a rising tide lift all boats?

A rising tide lifts all boats or trickle down has been shown to... well basically be as so much fart gas. We have 40 plus years of economics to prove that.

Not saying you are evil for wanting lower taxes on the wealthy, its just been proven that the rising tide only lifts certain boats.

I suspect basketball will be the same thing. Other than a blah year last year we've had a good basketball team that has drawn a lot of national attention and... we've sucked in football. Or been adequate.

We punch well above our weight in the smaller sports but football isn't a smaller sport.

Lets be honest... Petrino had some great years. After being handed the single greatest group of WRs in Arkansas history and a couple of NFL caliber QBs. We don't produce enough in state talent to rely on so we've got to fly the pirate flag and grab recruits from around the country. In modern football that is going to be really expensive.
