Those are low accomplishments compared to other SEC competition.

Since 1992, Arkansas has finished in the top 25 only six times.

A definition of a good program is finishing in the top 25 each year.

They have an an awful SEC record that would take decades to break even.

Not bad considering their divisional opponent had the greatest run in CFB during that same period.


Would be 4 if not for Saban crying like a baby to the media after his team got to sit at home on a bye after losing at home just to get gift wrapped a top 2 finish in the championship

LSU won more SEC west championships last year than OM has ever won since divisional play started.

I mean our OPS building has a trophy room that goes to the ceiling. Some heismans, lots of championship trophies, etc.

You’re only supporting my point that Arkansas is at a huge disadvantage in access to talent compared to most other SEC schools. Not to mention our coaching failures during our time in the SEC. When Arkansas has had competent coaching and some equal talent we’ve competed and won.

Please remind me how many national championships Ole Miss football has won within the last fifty years.

You really think Alabama has gotten players from coast to coast just because they’re “Alabama?” Boy, do I have news for you. It’s called cheating and $$$.

Oh, and you keep moving the goalposts. I don’t care about other SEC programs goals or accomplishments. You and I are discussing Arkansas. You said “haven’t done anything since 1989” which is false. As stated before, Arkansas has won the division, BCS bowl, top five ranking, other New Year’s Day bowls. Considering other SEC team’s advantages over Arkansas, they should be winning more. You just keep trying and failing here.

LSU is an interesting one. When they suck, they suck. But every few years they hit lightning in a bottle and have an all time team.

Can't argue with the hardware.

Arkansas has a bigger disadvantage of hiring shitty coaches and fighting a terrible reputation with a loser mentality.

Arkansas had Broyles, Holtz and Hatfield and didn't have a losing season in over 20 years.

Hatfield gets pushed out and in a panic, Broyles hires Jack Crowe.

He had the first losing season in decades, lost to to the Citadel and was fired and yet later on a coachless Arkansas team beat top 10 Tennessee in Knoxville. Beat South Carolina 45-7 and LSU 30-6. Yet lose to shitty teams like Memphis and SMU.

Since 1992, Arkansas has lost 72 games by seven points or less. That list includes plenty of G5 teams.

Arkansas just needs to beat the shitty teams first and to so is by getting better coaching. Do that and you will see improvement.

Beat the teams you are supposed to beat and Arkansas is better off. Starting pulling off some upsets and the prestige of the program will get better to the point that people and recruits don't view them as a loser.

You can't keep making excuses after excuses and expect to do better.

Excuses are for losers who have inferiority complexes and Arkansas shows it through the administration and the fans.

Arkansas hasn't and still hasn't done anything since joining the SEC.

You have to compare yourself to the competition and measure the program to see where they stand.

Since Arkansas doesn't care about getting better and the football program only exists to collect a check.

Maybe they should entertain the thought of joining the Sunbelt and play Arkansas State each year in Little Rock.

That will keep the simpletons happy.

But now they have a good brand

Yes because Alabama is one of the most historical great programs in the nation for decades even before Bryant showed up.

Yes they cheat but so do many programs but that is what competitors do even if it is unethical.
