Maybe the hogs would be better off in the Big 12? They are still in need of two teams, hogs.

You can generally tell how powerful an entity is by looking at the strength of its archnemesis. The US had the Soviet Union. Superman has Lex Luthor. Batman has the Joker. A&M and Missouri have... Arkansas? Hmmm. Not a good look, tbh.

Mizzou and PIG were more successful before joining the SEC. PIG was actually a Nation Brand In the SWC

"PIG" was never in the Big 12. In fact, the Big 12 didn't exist when "PIG" joined the SEC.

We are going through the worst stretch in the history of the football program. Of course we are going to loss against teams that are usually bottom feeders. That is one of the ways you can tell you are in a bad spot.

Well sulli, if you define it by losing to Mizzou and ATM, that "worst stretch" is now at 7 years and counting. Sounds more like a trend than a stretch, IMHO

We're trying to rebuild now after one of the worst coaches in our history was allowed 5 season to drive us into the shite tier. It's extremely hard to pick your program back up when you're in the SEC West. It wasn't even a decade ago that Bobby Petrino was 3-0 against A&M and had us in the top 5.

We had an 8 year stretch back in the 40s and 50s that was nearly as bad as this. We got a decent coach to start the rebuild and then upgraded to Broyles and won a national title. These things take some time after all.
I can't remember what school Broyles left in the lurch to come to Arkansas off the top of my head.

Actually, Arkansas traditionally has had a bit more of a higher winning percentage than either A&M or Missouri, but the three programs have basically been on even par for the most part.
Today, total wins and % as of beginning of 2019 season...
ARKANSAS - 715-504-40 (.584%)
MISSOURI - 677-563-52 (.544%)
TEXAS A&M- 741-481-48 (.602%)
Now, Arkansas' been in a slump for quite awhile so let's go back to the onset of the 1980 season. Total wins by each program at the beginning of 1980...
ARKANSAS - 448-292-36 (.605%)
MISSOURI - 452-322-46 (.584%)
TEXAS A&M- 437-406-45 (.518%)
Let's look at each program's overall record vs. the other....
ARKANSAS vs. Missouri (3-7)
ARKANSAS vs. Texas A&M (41-31-3)
MISSOURI vs. Texas A&M (7-8)
Arkansas has a winning record vs. A&M, but a losing record to Missouri.
Missouri has a winning record vs. Arkansas, but a losing record to A&M.
Texas A&M has a losing record vs. Arkansas, but a winning record vs. Missouri.
Bowl Games...
Arkansas - 42
Missouri - 33
Texas A&M- 40
National Titles as listed in NCAA Records...
Arkansas - 1 (1964)
Missouri - 1 (1960)
Texas A&M- 3 (1919, 1927, 1939)
It all evens out...generally speaking, all 3 programs--historically speaking--are about even.

As an aside, Arkansas has been no match for the Sun Belt lately. This is like bragging about beating Vandy.
Actually that might be an insult to Vandy now.

Arky is amongst the SEC's newest members.

A&M will probably even the series before the hogs can even sniff 4th or better in the West again.
