as far as the history of ARK v A&M, its always been that way...they jump out on top then start their choking act...I swear, even though they have beaten us 23 times in 69 games, every time we play them, no matter the venue, Arkansas fans feel like we're going to win....sorta like how Bama feels when they play LSU

Aggies are the only decent football program that ya'll have a winning record against.Don't you miss those private schools in the SWC?

Are you aware of our record against Bama as of recently? To say that we aren't on their level as of recently would be somewhat of a stretch. What's really confusing is you hog fans that started thinking ya'll were on Bama and LSU's level

our % against the Texas Longhorns is better than Alabama's vs Texas...AND, until Saban came along, the Hogs had a shot at being the ONLY SEC team to tie and/or lead the series with Alabama....the game we lost 41-38 in Saban's first year at Bryant-Denny would have tied the series all-time and Nutt, as per his usual choked off a 4 point lead in the waning seconds of the game

BCS bowl...maybe, but I highly doubt they were going to be contending for a BCSNC.

i actually agree with you...althought arkansas defense is always a ? but other than that they had a shot...however small it was...thats why we play it on the field. i will say though most alabama fans including myself dont think they have what it takes to beat bama and lsu in the same year

Sure it hurts to lose your H.C. This time of year, but life goes on. Play the games. This Arkansas team has some great people on it, I expect that they will play hard. They are not feeling sorry for themselves and neither am I.

Great post. That's what champions do.

Arky's D vs Bama(38), vs LSU(41), and yesterday vs itself(67)..

I say get rid of all Petrinos on staff..and they may just win a game without needing "TecmoBowl Last Possession"

I will say this for the last time here. Petrino is a Big 12 coach. Not an SEC coach. He would not have gotten over the LSU/Bama hump no matter how hard he tried. The guy didn't REALLY believe in defense. He just paid lip service to it.

Arkansas with Petrino probably wouldn't have been as good this year as they were last year for 3 reasons:

1) Still not on par with Bama and LSU on D
2) They have a very young, inexperienced O-line...not hard to look good against the Hog 2nd and 3rd string D in the spring game
3) Losing Adams and Childs hurts the WR corp. Again, mostly young and inexperienced.

This NC (aka Hogville) talk is BS. Two losses with Petrino. He just gave them two more.
