I was gonna say Arkansas football, but they're basically supposed to be a perennial 4-4 SEC program. So I'll go with Georgia. They should not have been owned so badly by Florida in the last 20 years, and they should have squeezed out a national title or two in the past 28 years.


Good point, but remember it's not exclusive to just football. Talking about overall sports program.

I think Arkansas might be a close second. Afterall , they celebrate having the finest facilities in the world and have nothing to show for it outside of track.

I'll go with Georgia....huge state population in the middle of recruiting hot beds yet no National Title in the big 3 sports since 1980. Ya'll have to remember that Arkansas has only 2.7 million people. But even with a small population we consistently pump out athletic freaks such as McFadden, Matt Jones, Mallet, etc....just not sheer numbers of DIV 1 talent. At least Arkansas had their awesome basketball run in the 90's and it appears our football might be on the brink of being relevant again.
