What are you saying? Pre Cowboys Stadium Cotton Bowls were one of the 4 premier bowls.
When we left the SWC the Cotton and a flagship less conference were pushed out of the BCS from cash gifts. Aka. Bribes. Aka bought outright by the Fiesta Bowl.
Fiesta Bowl was shady as hell.
The Rose, Sugar, Orange, and Cotton Bowls were the creme de la creme for decades.

I'm talking about the roughly decade worth of post-SWC collapse, pre-Cowboys Stadium Cotton Bowls, and we played in three of them (seasons - 1999, 2001 and 2007) with an average record of 7-4. MSU was 8-4 in 1998, Tennessee was 8-4 in 2000, LSU had a 8-4 record in 2002, and A&M had a 7-4 record in 2004. Heck, the 1995 Cotton Bowl was between 7-3-1 USC and 6-5 Texas Tech, and that's essentially as far back as I'm referencing. It's not unfathomable for a 7-5 Arkansas team to go to the Cotton Bowl under those post-SWC collapse, pre-Cowboys Stadium dynamics. That's the decade plus window I'm talking about.
