Love how Arky was brave enough to do it

Other teams talk a big game about pulling back on football to invest in basketball and other sports, I give Arky big props for doing it.

Takes bravery to push against the grain and what most fans want

And yet Arkansas vs AM games are generally very close so it means we are basically on the same level. Maybe you need to invest heavily in sports other than football.

pulling back on football

This would sound better if they ever spent on football.

Arky has two choices baseball or basketball …. Track is fine and dandy but doesn’t pay the bills . They have little to no shot in football just with all the competition of storied traditions . I know baseball hasn’t won the big one yet or in a while but they will break thru. Kentucky has ran off more good coaches it’s hard to fathom . It’s truly a dead end job imo like LSU football is . Even great coaches get ran off because of the entitlement of the the fans …. I can see it for Kentucky sake but I can’t see the same for lsu football they have won recently but don’t even come close to having the tradition of winning like other schools have .

I wished we'd implode our football program and sink everything into basketball and baseball.

I’d rather UGA pull back BBall to 3mm a year max and the rest go to football at this point

since we’ve been in the SEC the last 13-14 years it has helped us make up some ground on the overall series record.

That was such a d*ck move for him to leave y'all, after a heartbreaking loss in the natty,. He didn't just leave for any team, but for y'all's arch rivals.

You had 2 wins in Omaha as a school prior to Schloss arrival.

Arkansas had like 15 wins in Omaha before Schloss started at A&M.

Hmmm I thought a$m did it as well based on the results. Who knew you've actually spent hundreds of millions on football roosters, you learn something new every day I guess.

ADs Jeff Long and Hunter Yuracheck pissed off too many hog fans rich and poor.

Including the Tysons and Hunts.

Neither does baseball. They lost $3 million on it last year.

They were going all in to help pull their coach over the line. A year or tow later and they could have bought portal kids that had 4 yrs in and 4 years older than a HS kid.

A&M showed what kids thought about TEAM and WORKING HARD vs a 4 or 5 year guy that wants to win.
