Yes, but you're eliding over the deeper point here.

There's something innately distasteful and repulsive about your state, school, etc. How else do you explain the reality that nobody wants to go there? This despite a very strong 4 year run. And a location bordering two of the most talent rich states in the union.

That's what this about -- your stagnant place in the afterthoughts of recruits. It's not changing. You've maximized Arky football. And recruits are of course the most significant indication of where a program stands. After all, they get to pick where to go.

Sucks to be forgotten, eh?

You tell me, you're the one who's 2nd in your own state and fled the conference when Texas flexed their muscle and got their own TV deal.

Not my state, and what do you mean no one wants to go there? Texas A&M has 30 players in the NFL currently, Arkansas has 29. Seems like the talent is pretty close to me.

AP #5 and #10 say hello with a BCS this decade in the hardest division in college football.

Keep telling us how kids in Texas now, who want to play in the SEC, won't check out Arkansas and LSU because of proximity and multiple games in and around Texas which didn't exist last year. Texas A&M opened up Arkansas' name to Texas again and we thank you.

Actually, what is comical is how Texas A&M is bragging about a top 15 class as they are located in the state of Texas while being the 2nd largest school. That is the definition of pathetic. You aren't FSU as much as you want to try.
