You can accomplish both. Bama held up two trophies last year in Basketball...how many did Arky hold up?


Congrats on a meaningless trophy & likely banner.

Again...Arkansas baseball won the SEC championship in baseball last year...Means nothing as LSU won the national title.

That is a ridiculous statement, and you are being a homer. Winning a conference title is a great achievement. Of course it is not as great as a national title, especially in basketball, but don't act like everyone in the SEC doesn't want to win the conference title, because they do, even Arkansas.

I am a Braves fan as well.

Ask me what my thoughts are on this Braves season. Great regular seasons mean nothing in basketball and baseball if there is absolutely no delivering in the post season.

It's simply what programs and their fans place priorities on.

bigD can tell me the seasons, without googling, that Florida has made the Elite Eight, Final Four, and played for national titles in basketball.

It is very highly unlikely that he can spout off, without googling, the years that Florida has won any type of conference championship in basketball.

Arkansas sets our sights higher than conference championships. Arkansas looks ahead to deep runs in the NCAA Tournament. It’s an expectation. Something Alabama knows nothing about.

Dude, don’t even try comparing Alabama basketball to Arkansas basketball. You’re gonna lose every time.

I still think it’s funny that Alabama fans all of a sudden realize basketball exists.

Losing 4 of the last 5 has really hurt your feelings.

Not at all. As much of a piece of shite Oates is, he’s made Alabama good. I just think it’ll funny when he leaves and y’all are irrelevant again.

No, it really hasnt.

What has winning 4 of the last 5 gotten Alabama? Nothing, as Arkansas has gone farther in the NCAAt each of the last 3 seasons. Though, each program exited the NCAAt last season in the Sweet 16, though Arkansas lost to eventual national champion UConn, while Alabama lost to San Diego State.

I do like Coach Oats. And I do like Ark fans.

But acting like the SEC title is not a big deal is pretty dumb.

Carry on folks. Looking forward to the season.

Conference titles arent a big deal. They are exciting for a day, or night, maybe?

I’m not saying it’s not a big deal. It’s a nice accomplishment. I’m just saying for Arkansas, our sights are set on deep NCAA tournament runs and winning another title.

About 3 months as a conference title means you were doing a lot of winning since at least the end of December.

It is listed last. Meaning, its the least of everything else that is listed.

Or maybe after winning 30+ conference titles Arkansas fans just do not care about them.

Either way, give me March/April success over any trophy handed out from January to February.

UConn did not win their league last year. Can you tell me who won the Big East without googling? Uconn did not win their league in 2014. Can you tell me who won the AAC in 2014?

2 months actually. First part of January to the end/start of March.

Or maybe since it’s been nearly 30 years since Arkansas has won a conference championship, you’ve forgotten the enjoyment they can provide?

Or maybe because Alabama has only won 11 NCAAt games since 1995 that it matters way more to you than to a program who has won 11 tournament games in its last 5 NCAAt's?

It is all relative.

since 2000, Arkansas has won 11 NCAA tournament games. In the same time frame, Alabama has won 10. Imagine how much happier you’d be during the season if Arkansas also had sprinkled in a conference title or two?

I’m not pretending that conference titles are the be all end all. I’d give up every conference title we’ve won to make a final four. But I’m also not going to act like they’re meaningless or that last year wasn’t very enjoyable just because we choked in the tournament again.
