Peak Hog: Has Carolina already passed the Piggies?

Arkansas football has declined considerably since their glory days in the old SWC.
Winning 60% of their games is about the best they can hope for on average in the SEC.
Petrino wasn't able to change that.
What makes Hog fans think Bielema will save their bacon and get them back to relevance?
You'll be lucky to keep pace with Carolina going forward let alone the Big Six.
The difference, of course, is that winning 60% of your games at Carolina is awesome relative to where they were as a program for the 50 years prior to Spurrier's arrival. Carolina is reaching new heights while the Hogs can only reflect on their long gone glory days and pretend that ancient history makes them relevant in the SEC.
Carolina has made the most of their new digs in the SEC while Arkansas has only become more and more entrenched in decline mode.
The evidence is irrefutable.
Arky in red, Carolina in black

Just imagine all the dick you could have sucked while you were wasting your time making this thread. You can't get that time back now.

Ummm, the graph you put up of Arkansas vs the cocks doesn't really support your narrative.

What you are seeing here is the effect that happened when Arky left the SWC and Texas ended their annual game that gave Arky exposure in the state. They also got high school coaches in Texas to blacklist them as well.
Texas to this day sees the ruination of Arky as one of their crowning achievements. It is part of the reason they refused to play us- they thought we would shrink into irrelevance like Arky did. Luckily those frickers can't read a map and accidentally gave us an easier schedule instead.
I applaud Arky for standing up to Texas, even if it really cost them. They are like Georgia Tech in my eyes. Both stood up to bullies (Texas, the bear) got crushed, but picked themselves up and moved on in their new lives.

Flash in the pan seasons aren't enough to move a 10 year average very much.
Carolina has caught up to you and is now passing you by in the aftermath of John LOL Smith.

We fired a top ten coach and hired another top ten coach.
Your first link doesn't show Bielema as a top ten coach.
Cute of you to go find another link that shows Bielema as a top 10 coach but doesn't list Petrino in the top 25. But they did list Spurrier as 3rd best in the land and I won't argue with that.

This is a good point.
Though Arkansas has 24 players on their current roster from Texas.
Are they just unable to get the same level of Texas recruits they did in SWC days?

South Carolina is currently experiencing the most success in their program's history.
What exactly do they have to show for it?

Exactly.
Back in the SWC days they were number 2 behind Texas in the state for recruits.
Now they are behind Texas, OU, A&M, LSU, and probably Baylor.
