re: Hogs fans - which moment was more painful for you?

1969 Texas game.

Frank Broyles going for it instead of a field goal to make it 17-0 against Texas but was intercepted. Arkansas lost 15-14.

The Tennessee fumble was even close to the 1969 Texas game. Nutt was an idiot and would find a way to lose that game regardless. If not then he would the next game against State.

Nutt would still have found a way to lose if the muffed punt didn't exist. Most likely a turnover on downs in the final minutes.

He should never have been given a scholarship and got one because of his father.

Arkansas was good enough to beat Florida and win the SEC in 06 and 07. But Nutt and his drama prevented that from happening.

Petrino was never going to do anything at Arkansas. He simply was never good enough as a head coach to be successful. He had weaknesses and his recruiting by Arkansas standards was bad.

Nixon handing the national championship trophy to texas in 1969 was the most painful for me. I’ll never get over it.

Not a Hog fan but as an OU fan we had an obligation to despise Texas and DKR.

They were beating OU every year back then so I was living vicariously through the Hogs that day.

I still remember Arkansas having the ball inside the Texas 10 and Montgomery threw a lazy pass in the end zone that got intercepted.

And of course the Street to Peschel pass really sucked too if you were rooting for the Hogs.

Frank Broyles blamed himself for the loss and never watched film that game. That game and the stress of integration broke his spirit and the following years were mediocre except for 1975.

A book called Horns, Hogs and Nixon coming explains in detail before, during and after that game.

Alyosha? You give your profile name a bad name.

What he did as his second stint at Louisville would reflect what he would have done at Arkansas if he wasn't fired. Slowly regress and crash.
