The Waltons donated $300 million to Arkansas with a disclaimer that none of it could be used on athletics.


T. Boone Pickens gave $165 million to Oklahoma State with the provision that it could ONLY be used for athletics.

That's not a joke either.

Oh, and that was a few years after he made headlines for giving the AD $75 million.

They have been to Atlanta 3 times in 19 years...that equals 1 run every 6.3 years

No, a run at winning the west. 2001, 2003, 2007,2009 we didn't have a shot at the west but had a winning record. 2002 and 2006 we went to the SECCG. 2010 was a good year even though we were knocked out of the west pretty early.

Miss St on the other had had what 2 or 3 winning seasons? Never even finishing in the top half of the west.

A legit run means that we either won or were in the hunt most of the season. You wouldn't know what that's like since you're a doormat.

good thing you cut it off there because from 98-2000 we were in the hunt 3 straight years with an Atlanta appearance.

i guess 97-2000 doesn't fit your idiot agenda since State led the west in wins during that time period?

to be honest if i had 100 million to give away I would probably give 90 mil to the athletics and the rest to the school.



I would too. But most people (with the exception of Boone Pickens) do not think this way.

Ok, let's take the best team MSU had this decade. 8-4, good enough for 5th place. MSU=Dicksoup

Yall go 8-4 then proclaim winning the West will happen soon. I think the kool-aid yall are drinking is a little stronger than the kool-aid I'm drinking.

So I'm guessing you had no expectations after going a combined 12-12 during Petrinos 1st two years?

Well we could just go back to when we joined the SEC. Arkansas has only been able to barely squeak out a 14-4-1 record over Mississippi State since then.
