in football? They got the whole state to themselves (no in state threat), they have good facilities and are a good brand.
But it seems they get close then just shite all over themselves.

They used a black guy as a tackling dummy back in the day.

What is this hump you speak of?

Having the support of the entire state is awesome. The problem is that it is a state of about 2 million people that produces very few D-1 Prospects.

The Cubs have a goat, the Hogs have a black guy.

Arkansas has more than surpassed their potential. 1/3 of a National Title is more than they could ever hope for.

Arkansas does not produce very much talent and its a long arse drive from just about any major talent producing area.

Sure, but this is the SEC where Arkansas' stadium is the 9th largest.

Because they hired an a-hole as their HC.

Get over the hump in what aspect?
Top 5 AP and Coaches Poll finish, Check.
BCS Bowl, Check.
3 SEC Championship Game Appearances, Check.
If you are talking about Winning the SEC or National Championship it's because we need stronger Lineman. It's obvious our state produces stud skill players year after year. Our best teams have been loaded with Arkansas talent but lacked recruiting talent.
It's pretty obvious that Petrino didn't recruit any better than Nutt but was a hell of a better coach. If you grab another top 10 coach with better recruiting talent (Tennessee knows this well) we will win a Championship. When Arkansas gets a coach who recruits well out-of-state Arkansas will win another championship just like we have in the past.
*Thank you TAMU for opening back up the Arkansas brand to kids who never know the SWC existed in Texas*

have you looked at their recruiting classes? They think they are a special case where you don't have to stockpile top recruiting classes. I would guess after 20 years they would have that figured out.....but clearly they haven't.

It's because when arky finishes tied for second in the west and then third in the west, they automatically think they are a top ten job when in reality, Arky prob isn't even a top 30 job.

I don't think it's as much them shitting on themselves as it is LSU and Bama shitting on them.

You talking about not winning the West or the reason Petrino got canned?
