Sorry, I forgot all about the long, illustrious history of Arkansas football. I'm not gonna lie that I'm a bit ignorant of Arkansas' football accomplishments so I looked them up.

Well, for one y'all had that split national title in 64 the same year the Beatles released an album called "Introducing...The Beatles". I remember it like it was 50 fricking years ago.

Oh yeah, and more recently there was the SWC titles in 88 and 89. They came at the end of a decade in which almost every team in the conference faced sanctions and y'all's biggest threat, Texas, had back-to-back losing seasons that year, and yet y'all still found a way to lose to them in 89. But to their credit, Arkansas found a way to navigate their way through your other formidable conference foes like Baylor, Rice, Houston, post-death penalty SMU and TTU.

But, somehow, this football dynasty they had over in Arkansas for all these decades still manages to have a worse overall winning percentage, less national championships, and only one more win all-time than Florida despite their football program beginning 12 years earlier.
obviously you don't know Arkansas history or any other football history. Houston was a good football team in the 1980's Baylor was going for a natl title with mike singletary in the 80's SMU was a good team at times in the 80's so was Texass and A&M. I used to look at the SEC as Alabama and the sisters of the poor. I mean LSU was running from A&M and refused to reschedule them because they were getting beat down every year. Ark would whip Ole Miss every year whether they needed it or not. The National team from Florida was the Canes and everyone around America knew it. if not the canes then the Seminoles. I rarely heard of the gators back then except for the time we had a down year and got some sorry bowl game agaist one the best florida teams ever at the time.
