so let me get this straight, since AR joined the SEC in'92 the series record between LSU and AR stands at 10-7 in favor of LSU, but since '98 the series goes 6-5, and under Miles/Saban it's 5-4 between them, heck under Miles the four games they have played have been decided by a TOTAL OF 10 POINTS?!! Seems to me since we joined the this conference we've done well against the Tiggers?? Let's look at Auburn: last 11 meetings AR 6 wins AU 5 wins; how about Bama? Tide 6 wins; Hogs 5...I think the Razorbacks have held their own in the Western Division; including 2 Title game appearances this decade.

No doubt Arkansas has been a pain LSU's side recently. But we still own the all-time series by a large margin and still have a winning record over Ark since they joined the SEC. The huge difference between LSU, Bama and Auburn over Arkansas is a simple one...Those teams have won championships and been to and won big bowls since you've joined the SEC.

Simply winning the SEC West isn't a feat, nobody brags about that, it's a race of just 6 teams. It means nothing if you can't win the SECCG. LSU has been to and won 4 BCS Bowls, 3 SEC Championships and 2 National Championships since Arkansas has joined the conference. Alabama has been to 3 BCS Bowls (counting sugar pre-bcs) and won 1. They also have 2 SEC Championships and a National Title since Arkansas joined the conference. Auburn has been to 1 BCS bowl and won it. They also have an SEC Championship and should have a National Championship being that they went an undefeated 13-0.

That's the big difference between these programs. And as I've stated before, I'll take whatever record against Arkansas if we keep accomplishing above...and I'd bet Arkansas wouldn't care either about records vs. teams if they just won Championships and went to and won big bowl games.

You don't make 36 Bowl appearances, with 23 BEING NEW YEAR'S DAY Bowls, including: 11 Cotton, 5 Sugar, 2 Orange, 1 Fiesta, 2 Gator, 2 Citrus and have a "cellar dweller/ mediocre football program.

You have been to exactly zero bcs/big 4 bowl games since being in the SEC. And I wouldn't brag about bowls if I were an Arkansas fan. You guys are known for being a terrible bowl team having one of the worst bowl records. No one is saying you are Vanderbilt, but what we are saying is you aren't a program up there with the likes of the elite SEC teams and that's simply due to on average those teams having better players.

Hey Tiger Fans where was your team from '89-'01?

remember Hallman and Dinardeaux?

Yes, we sucked for a while then, but have had much success in the SEC even prior to this decade with several SEC Championships and big bowl wins including another National Championship. We went through a bad coaching spell but it really isn't that hard to win at LSU if you just lock down the state's top talent which Saban and Miles have done.We really don't need to do a lot of out of state recruiting like a team such as Arkansas must do to be successful.
