Well they better give those free playstations to the rest of the SEC members or someone is going to get bitched at the home office.

My point, exactly, Gulfcoastoutlaw.

Even with Hog basketball DOWN for a full quarter century, Arkansas STILL has more Final Fours than Florida.

And it looks like the years of being down are over for Arkansas.

Problem is we know we a very average. After beating Alabama Arkansas thought they were better than UCLA under Wooden.

If you're going to make fun of University of Arkansas, a smart person could do better than including two multi-Billionaire alums in the joke. I know Arkansas has a lot of them, though.

Jerry Jones has done least with the most running the Cowboys for the last 25 seasons. Arkansas is no better.

Uh congrats on being the Buffalo Bills of SEC basketball?

No doubt you wish you could be even that in football but it would take actually win more than 4 or 5 games.

Ystar, this is how you prove you are young, or ignorant, or both.

Rag on Arkansas basketball all you want.

Arkansas has been to 32 NCAA Tournaments.

Florida only 22.

Arkansas has been to more Final Fours and Elite Eights than Florida has.

Even with Arkansas being down for a full quarter century in basketball, Hog basketball has a richer, deeper tradition than Gator basketball.

And all signs point to Arkansas' "down time" being dead and gone.

Our success has only been recent but it’s been pretty substantial. Arkansas hasn’t been relevant in basketball since the mid 90s. We went to a final 4 six years ago. Arkansas literally has done nothing in this sport in 25 years.

Welcome to this year's arse Whupped club....

Had Nolan not have a meltdown on tv and had a better relationship with Frank Broyles then Arkansas would cement itself with the elite group.

But that has changed with a serious AD and a serious coach.

Okay. Again, congrats on being the Buffalo Bills of the NCAA.

Buffalo won 2 AFL championships since you guys don't know your history.

They still aren't a blueblood (Kentucky) no matter how much you guys wish it were so.

How many Super Bowls have they won?

Really missed the mark with that comparison

The Alabama or LSU win didn't just all of a sudden reveal of what we didn't know a bout the trajectory of the basketball program.

When Muss was hired, the program was headed for a bright future. Gone are the brass that have destroyed what use to be a very good basketball program. Gone are the fans that have yearned for another Nolan. Gone are the days of his haunted meltdown on tv and the events followed that have put a dark cloud over it's future.

Arkansas had internal conflict for over 20 years and was too occupied with the past and not of today. We moved on from that which felt like a curse.

We finally got serious and we decided to go back to our winning ways.

I only expected Muss to make the tournament this year. It looks like he will do just that. Anything past the second round this year is bonus points.

So no I'm not going to put a bet on a coach that wasn't or expected to make the sweet sixteen this year.

Regardless of what this team does in the tournament doesn't change the fact that Arkansas has better leadership with a better coach in place.
