They find it satisfying saying we are the worst team the last 7 years, but then brag about it like its something amazing

Arkansas is a proud program with a strong history. They’re down, but they’ll be back. Of course, A&M has been better than them since expansion. Arkansas has been at one of its lowest points.

Debatable. Head-to-head isn't the only indicator of this.

A&M leads in win percentage, national titles, conference chapionships (in the same conference), wins, bowl record, all americans, heismans, draft picks, and weeks ranked.

Arkansas leads in amount of bowl games 42 to 40

Yeah, I was looking at Southwest football champs before Arkansas left and A&M had the edge 15-13. They've also won more major bowl games.

A&M won 17 SWC titles. And then added another in the Big 12.

Yeah I know, I'm only talking about when Arkansas was still a member.

I don’t know if they’ll ever catch back up to A&M in all-time wins now. They were ahead of them in 1990, but have completely fallen off ever since.

Better question is, will Navy pass Arkansas in all-time wins in the next two years?

Those two SWC championships that were won after Arkansas left would have been won whether Arkansas was there or not. They were terrible in the early 90s.

it is astounding that a simple motorcycle accident derailed a good football program. No woman is worth that.

I honestly feel sorry for the Arkansas student who has known nothing but Arky football from 2012. They are likely lifetime fans and know of Arkansas' past successes but the reality is a quite murky and desolate landscape at the moment.

And then the salt in the wound of SMILE! Followed by Bert who initially looked like he would turn it around but then got sidetracked at the buffet.

considering how so many of you like to use historic records... Arky has more wins over A&M

Crazy how A&M has lost more than won against both The Mississippi State Bulldogs and Arkansas

Yet that's all you can find to hang your hat on?

Our worse stretch since Jack Crow/Danny Ford and you think this is an accomplishment?

That's pretty sad.

Lol this is when I became a fan. Even sucking in football, we still have more accomplishments during that time than A&M. I've enjoyed it, and cannot wait to get football back on level. This is our fourth football coach since I've been a fan. It's been a wild ride - damnit Bobby!

Meh. Since 1990 Arkansas has fewer wins than Bowling Green, Western Michigan, Colorado State, Southern Miss.... you get the picture.

I felt bad for the Ag students that had to suffer through Fran.

You will always be a fan, but it's so much more fun when your team is kicking arse when you are a student there. Times will get better. they always do.

Rock on, my SWC Brother.
