Higher ceiling as a football program? Arkansas > Texas A&M

It's tough denying rivalry applications everyday, but from the processing desk, it appears to me from reading applications that Arkansas has a higher ceiling as a football program than does A&M.
Reasons include the following:
-Arkansas is the only major program in their state (funding, support, recruiting).
-CBB has the program on the upswing showing solid improvement with potential for more. CKS? tDecline
-Arkansas' style of offensive play compliments the defensive side of the ball, allowing the defense to thrive.
-Arkansas doesn't have the "weird cult" stigma that A&M has, which can sway potential student-athletes away from College Station.
-Most people would conclude that the quality of life is much better in Fayetteville as opposed to College Station, further giving Arkansas an edge in recruiting.
Overall, the future is brighter in NW Arkansas.

aTm has WAAAAYYYY higher ceiling. This is stupid.

I would say A&m for sure. For example, I think Bert is a very good coach. I think he would have more success at A&M than Arky simply because on average he would sign better talent. The best way to do the hypothetical is if both programs had the same coaching staff for 5 years, who does better? I think most will say A&M because their recruiting is consistently better.

I concur. Your reasoning is solid

For sure Arky. They have a somewhat history of playing D

Plus you dont have to live in College Station if you go to Arkansas.

Hard to say. Both teams have unique advantages over the other. Going forward from right now I think Arkansas has the advantage... but I am a Hog fan. I am sure any self respecting Aggy fan will say they have the advantage.

The A&M obsession from swamp kittens continues.

This is true.

The fact that part of your argument is that arkansas has more upside due to funding/recruiting shows you have no idea what you are talking about. Texas A&m is the largest university in Texas, we have way more money, and consistently beat them in recruiting rankings.

Please stop trying to make this happen. We will never view you as rivals if you keep letting us have your coaches and dictate when we play

Biggest obstacle to solid defense is A&M's offense.

aTm dictates when LSU plays in even years. LSU dictates where aTm plays in odd years. The fact so many aTm fans are pushing the "we made them play on Thanksgiving" narrative like LSU isn't doing the exact same thing to them is funny.

Whatever makes you feel better. Your AD has a pretty well documented history of getting pushed around, the NCAA sanctions you received being the latest example

I agree. You and Arky make a nice couple.
