Maybe he got it from the thread the dawg started.

The dawg said

quote:

Arkansas fans are on here pretending like they are some type of football powerhouse


and I FIFH and changed it to this.

Maybe he took me seriously.

In 17 years we have won or tied the West 4 times. That's once every 4.25.

We've gone from some of the most laughable facilities in the country to the cream of the crop.

According to Forbes we are the #15 Most Valuable Football Program in America.

According to CFBDatawarehouse and SI, we are the #23 and and #25 All-Time Football program.

We only have one NC but 37 Bowls, 10 of which have come since joining the SEC.

We are 7th in overall wins since joining the SEC, behind LSU at #6, but obviously that does not speak of quality of win.

We've been in the Top 5 and Top 10 numerous times since joining the SEC, with the highest marker at #3.


Are we elite? Of course not. But we damn sure more than hold our own and have transitioned into SEC football with far greater success than USC.


This shouldn't be overlooked at the bottom of page 1

Not arguing with their place in history. I am arguing in their place now. They think they are the shite because of things that happened when 1/2 of them weren't old enough to understand football. All they do is remember the good ole days


Dude, you do realize that LSU wasn't shite in the years leading up to Saban, right?

And you do realize that it looks like you are in the middle of the long, slow decline back to where you were before Saban, right?


You should be worrying about LSU, not Arkansas.

You know what happens when you assume? You make yourself look like a complete jackass.

I understand LSU blew before Saban. I am talking about withing the last 10 years or so.

I'm trying to figure out where you are hearing this? There are your typical delusional fans... of course. But the majority of Hog fans do not feel we are a traditional power by any means.


Agreed. However,after the LSU-Washington game an LSU fan on the Rant got carried away about Washington QB Jake Locker's talents and how good of an NFL QB he'd be.

Right after that a Hog fan here posted "The Rant says Locker will win the Heisman." In some poster's minds one fan = every fan.

Yes

Your place in the polls is more reflective of pre-season name recognition than the on the field product.

You will be lucky to be higher than #15 by the end of the season, which is great if your Arkansas, but since you are LSU, it points to the decline of Les Miles/LSU football that most everyone acknowledges except for corndogs.

He seems to be recruiting pretty well, dont you think? #1 class last year, will get a top 5 class this year, and next year is projected to be the best recruiting class from Louisiana in a long time.

Its delusional to think Arkansas is an elite football team and on the inlcine while LSU is on the decline after ONE bad year since Saban.

they love to talk about the 90's but we were a top 15 program at least in every decade from the 30's through the 80's. The 90's were an aberration.

It is a piece of the puzzle.

Your program is a 10 and your coach is a 7.

It is catching up to you.
