Retards all over the place up in here.

I think those sentences make more sense when you take out the bolded part. If someone is the only one then no one else is doing it. That's my understanding of the word 'only' anyway.

So based on that, nowhere in the article did it make mention of Arkansas being the first to make a decision or "trend" on moving up.
Therefore it lead me to believe that they had decided to move up at the same time.
I'm sorry that I don't keep up with non-varsity athletics enough to know that Arkansas had decided roughly 3-4 weeks beforehand.
This is like explaining basic logic to a pre-schooler.

But you have to be the only one doing it to begin with, otherwise you cannot be the trend setter.
When someone sees what you are doing and decides to do it also then it becomes a trend and you are the trend setter.
I didn't see anywhere in the article that Arkansas was the trend setter as it did not make any mention of them moving up first or when they decided to move up.
From the wording of the article Alabama and Arkansas could have decided at the same time.
Based on information not mentioned in the article that Arkansas made the decision roughly 3-4 weeks ago or more then yes they are the trend setter for SEC teams. But going solely on the article linked they are not THE trend setter.

frick yes! 
This will actually result in less travel for our team although most of the opponents will be up north.

You're taking being #2 pretty hard. You should actually take some pride in being the first SEC school to follow in Arkansas's footsteps.
Good luck reaching self-acceptance

I didn't know that and have already admitted that I didn't know that. The article linked in the OP was the first I have heard of either team moving up and that article did not make mention of the previous decision.

No it's not like that at all.

Using an Al.com and the Birmingham News article, in which your program is vaguely mentioned, to gloat? Odd angle here.

Hockey's a yankee sport. Never thought I'd see the day a bunch of "southerners" argue over who's more "yankee".

Nope, worse. It's a fricking Canadian sport. Canadians smell worse than yankees...

I guess this is all new to them. Mizzou has been doing this for years. Would that make us the true trend setters here? Yankee sport, I knew we'd rub off on them.

Jesus Christ dude... did you have a stroke while typing this? Look, is there a number we can call for you? I mean, drugs, booze... a large part of your brain just dying... We will stop mocking LSU long enough to get you help. Just hang in there.
