Based on the posts of these piggy fans, this has got to just drive them crazy.

One of my favorite bands to see in Fville, led by a New Orleans Katrina transplant. Lots of crazy hippies and rednecks come out for this group, it's a wild time.

Tennessee outspends every program in the nation.

they live by OOS recruiting.

They have a business model based on filling that 110,000 person stadium.

a lot of those seats go to pay the recruiting bill.

I believe Auburn spends more on football than anyone else, but it could have been percentage based, I read that somewhere one time.

We talking about recruiting expenses, or money spent on recruits?

So, by your own admission, Arkansas had a down year in 2011 then? And, by that same admission, so did 'Bama, who won the National Championship?

Bless your heart. You try so hard.

Read the entire sentence.

2003, 2007, and 2010 were very lean years for CFB in the BCS era.

The SEC wasn't any better than the SWC and we've been over this many times.


Here is the SWC's glory years:

From 1960-1990, The SWC only had 1 team with an overall winning record against SEC teams during that 30 year period: Texas.

From 1960-1990, the SEC only had 1 team with an overall losing record against SWC teams during that 30 year period: Tulane, who quit the SEC, because they couldn't compete.

Arkansas was .700+ against SWC competition during this period, but was approx. .440 against SEC competition during this period. Coincidently, Arkansas is approx. .450 against SEC competition since joining the SEC in 1992.

The SEC Champion has won .600+ of the Sugar Bowls since the Sugar Bowl was established. The SWC Champion has won approx. .400 of the Cotton Bowls when their champion had a tie-in to that bowl.

There are only 2 current SEC teams with all-time losing bowl records and they just so happen to be the 2 newest members: Arkansas and S. Carolina. The traditional SEC members all have winning bowl records. This means that when traditional SEC teams ventured out of conference to play, they usually won, whereas when Arkansas ventured out of the SWC, they usually lost.

In all time winning percentages, Arkansas is #7 behind Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, Auburn, and Florida.

That's all-time and with an easier record to work with each year.

Arkansas isn't in the top-half in any meaningful category for SEC teams.

Win a freaking conference title, please, before you want to claim that Arkansas has arrived in the SEC.

You are talking to fans of programs that have all won multiple SEC conference championships and multiple national championships.

Wait you just said this was the hardest division in the hardest conference and LSU just won an SEC title? Now we only
won cause things are down? You look like a huge homer and tool.

Btw the problem everytime someone objectively looks at Arkansas from an all time historical standpoint their abysmal bowl record will rear its ugly head. % wise they are bottom 5 all-time (with more than like 10 bowl games played I believe). This past cotton bowl was only 4 bowl win in 30 years.
