but shouldn't expect to ever win the big one.


You can't call yourself a true fan if you do not hold out some hope that your team will win the big one. Even when all the stats tell you otherwise. I think every real fan for any team always wants to have that moment. And Arkansas fans are die hard. We are realistic, we know the big one probably won't be this year. But don't think for one minute Arkansas fans won't expect to "win the big one." I would not ask any fan to do that. That is what being a fan is all about.

It is certainly ok to hold out that hope. But I sincerly think just like Vanderbilt won the big one, which was whatever their first bowl win was in several decades, you should consider a cottonbowl win "the big one"

I am not trying to discourage you guys but I have been reading up on your thoughts an opinions of your program and you are not realistic. I hate to see a fanbase full of soo many great people get their dreams crushed every year when they don't realize that most years most conference teams they play are going to be more talented. You recruit from a state that produces about 20 d1 prospects per year and arkansas puts between 5 to 7 on the field out of that. Louisana, Mississippi, they are like 100 and 70 and can put 1/4th of theirs on an SEC field. So, please don't expect better than an 8-4 season b/c that is the ceiling for your program.
