Oklahog I'm 54. So yes, I remember better days. I have very hazy memories of WMS games back to the 65 season. I remember the Big Shootout like it was yesterday.

The programs I listed in my post should NEVER be thought of as better than Arkansas. I think the SEC affiliation has given Arkansas fans a huge inferiority complex. We've accepted average programs in FB and Basketball.

I hate that. Not enough to lose any sleep, but I hate that for us all.

I personally think that what you're seeing is due to scholarship rules and media exposure of the overall sport. It's brought more room for parity from lower tier programs. It hasn't disrupted the elites much yet. But the middle class programs can expect to occasionally wind up behind inferior programs. And make no mistake we've always been pretty middle class/upper middle class.
