Interesting SEC basketball fact

2008: SEC - Tennessee; SECT - Georgia

Either I have sleepy brain or there’s some words missing from that which would clarify exactly what you’re saying.

But, I’m gonna go with we threw a wrench in shite when we came so (I haven’t had much to pimp about lately so give it to me, people.)

2008 - In Summary

Since the Hogs fired Nolan they have not enjoyed M or W basketball success since. Sorta like the "Curse of the Bambino"

The women have never really had a great program. Outside the one Final Four in the late 90's, it has never been a program to write home about.

The Mens program has been down, to our standards since Nolan left, but compared to the rest of the league outside of Kentucky and Florida, I would wager that Arkansas still ranks in the top 4 or so in the league in NCAA tourney trips and 20 win seasons. Again, that still hasn't been up to the programs historical standard, but well above average in the league.

Since the SEC expansion in 1992 Kentucky or Florida has been the conference champion or tournament champion every year except:

Just think if the wide usage of the net had been what 10 years earlier and we came into the league, won a natty championship the following year in one of the big 2 and then went to the championship game the next year- oh lord the trolling and trash talk and sailing that would have been done.

My point was comparing the program to the rest of the league outside of UK and UF

But you are missing mine.

Hogs, by historical standards, should be #2. The fact you now have UF ahead of them tells me they have fallen in national perception. I guess is if we return to the 90's and Hogs remain clear #2 then UF never gets going in the mid 2000's. This is why I bang my had, as I want a strong (see national power) Hog basketball team. Not one that is just in the upper half of the conference.

I’d like to think that it was 50-50 Florida and Kentucky doing that, but I know better.

It is confusing. Usually I’m better at explaining stuff better. It was a random thought that was poorly executed like OU against Georgia in the second half of the Rose Bowl.

Yall's shitty arse arena says otherwise.

Hell of a season this year too btw. Looks like you really hit the jackpot with Mike White (still don't really know who he is)
