A&M fans...

The way you troll a certain fan base in a particular sport is by actually knowing a little bit about it.

Please do your homework before you try with track.

this was known and I could have told you that he wasn't explosive off the line. You ever see anyone catch him from behind on deep routes?

he's more of a long distance guy. I don't think he still runs though, pretty sure that was just his freshman year.


There is a lot of ammo to troll us with right now but track and field isn't one of them (or even a good one considering no one seems to know anything about it except other arkansas fans)

Oh lawd, now you done it.

Track is serious bidness up in Arkansas, nevermind the fact that its been 7 years since they won a national championship in any sort of running.

States the ignorant Aggie. At least try to be informed before making any more idiotic comments on a message board.

He was talking about all the swimming practice Arkansas athletes get because of the sinking flagship.

here we go

not defend the honor of the flagship or anything here but theres no race in track where the very start matters all too much.

Maybe 40+ is enough for a little while. Gotta let lesser programs like Aggy have their day in the sun.

Are you serious? I thought they're a power because of the short distance runners, sprinters, hurdlers, etc.

they won the SEC title for 20 years , in a row

ETA: we can shite on Arky for a lot of things. Their track program IS NOT one of them. They have a world class track program that is only rivaled by a few programs.

Any program with 40+ NCAA titles can't ever be overrated.

How is starting from a two point stance wearing football pads and running on a soft surface a basic track skill?
