Probably wouldn't hurt the ol' brand recognition.

Look what it did for West Virginia.


You do know the Big 12 was not their first choice and they would ditch them in a heartbeat to join the SEC?

Oh poor little Arky lost to a team they shouldn't have, and now that SECWest is looming and you know arse whoopings are on the way, and you want to run to the Big 12? Where Texas hogs(no pun intended) all of the money, and you can't afford that badass stadium, or to buyout this coach if he doesn't workout? Hell, Arky might even have the right coach, he has only coached two games. It takes time to build a program. Saban lost to La Monroe, Coach O lost to Troy, shite happens with new coaches who haven't had time to put things their way yet. The thing is Arky's starters aren't bad, depth is their problem and that can only be fixed with recruiting classes. So suck it up this year and expect to lose a lot of games in the fourth quarter, and things might just get better next year.

You get a good coach and Arkansas can do good. Motorcycle Bobby despite the shite going on behind the scenes won alot of games there.


He had two good seasons and they were fool's gold anyway. Barely beat Vandy and Ole Miss in the "best year ever" for Arkansas football. We've had like 4 good seasons in 25 years. Time to admit we made a bad decision joining the SEC.

Nah. Morris is a slapdick. Maybe in 5 years we can get Kiffin and make a little buzz. Y’all lucked out with Saban and UGA with Smart. There are few elite coaches, and it takes an elite coach to bring programs like Ark, UK, Vandy, Tenner, and Mizzou to the top tier

...but....the money you get from being in the SEC is worth it...ask Vandy

Also (4) good seasons outta 25 sounds a lot like Tennessee and Vandy.

According to the forbes Arky is number 13 in the country on wealthiest teams in the country. That is 13 out of 128 and this is only so because Arky joined the SEC. I know you want to win more, hell we all do, but joining the SEc is the best thing to ever happen to Arky, dumbass.

Stonehog and DaleDenton have set the standard for trolling one's own fanbase. TT9 and Rillo should take notes.

>>Motorcycle Bobby<<

She was hot.

Should of hired Hugh Freeze...cough...Huge Freeze. Seriously he’s a talented coach. What happens between consenting adults is none of my business. Who cares.

Is this where I'm supposed to tell you money is a non-issue because of brand revenue and that money isn't what is keeping us in the SEC? Well you are right about that.

Money keeps South Carolina Vandy and Missouri around to be your whores. Not us, though.

Wrong. We've never been in the Big 12


What!? MIZZOU never recalled Arky in the Big 12 when Missouri was in the Big 12. Maybe Missouri have shown to be a better fit in the SEC than Arky? Since Arkansas is border to Texas and Missouri is not.

Hey dumbass, Arkansas having money doesn't do anything for the average fan. We would rather have success in football than watch our administration give themselves raises. Why are all you idiots so obsessed with money that isn't yours?

"Durrr, we got more money from the SEC, now all the suites have a TV in there for rich people to look at!"

Every time I see a 'hog fan' claim they want to go back to the Big 12 I think of a N. Korean rerfugee living in a 3,000 sq ft house in American complaining that they want to go back to N. Korea. Yes, there is hardly any of them.

But the catch is you get raped 5-8 times every fall. I might want to go back to N. Korea in that situation.

The big 12 actually has one of the larger payouts of the power 5. Adding arky and a team like BYU would increase that when it’s time for the next round of negotiations.
