Holy Crap...I don't know which is more impressive... Arkansas having 24 SEC titles in 22 years or Missouri having 15 SEC titles in 2.
This just shows how stupid Vol fans are...
I guess we can't count our 1941, 1945, 1978, and 1990 Final Fours because we were not in the SEC during that time? You need to learn some history ... Google U.S. Reed, Sidney Moncrief vs Jordan, Eddie Sutton and then tell me our pre-SEC Titles don't count...Arkansas' 1970's - early 80's basketball success alone outdoes Tenner's entire history as far as NCAA tourney highlights goes...We were ballin' way before Nolan got here my friend.

Oh, you definitely can count those final fours. Just not as a part of your SEC resume. It is very impressive though.

It's nice that the school honors the man so much that Arkansas basketball has taken a 12 year moment of silence in honor of his departure.

What is that supposed to prove?

Only 35 different NCAA programs have won a DIV. 1 Basketball Title.. Tennessee is obviously not one of them. Also, When you throw out teams like SAN FRANSISCO (back to back Titles), CCNY,, LaSALLE, Holy Cross, Wyoming, Loyola Chicago, UTEP, NOVA, (Teams that are at a lower competitive level, or will obviously probably not win another one but have a BB natty) You start to realize that the same programs keep winning the Title. That leaves 27 programs (modern programs) that have won the Natty...It's either in your DNA or it ain't. Kentucky, Arkansas, and the Gaytors. Are among those proven capable. (27 National Title as a ceiling programs out of 300 and somthin' Division 1 Programs) Vol fans please take a reality pill.

We can take the FFs from our time in the SEC and have more to show while in the SEC than Tennessee, Alabama, Ole Miss, Vandy, Mizzou,Auburn, aTm, and Carolina combined.
We can take our NC while in the the SEC and have more than Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, UGA, Ms. State, Ole Miss, Vandy, Auburn, Mizzou, aTm, and Carolina combined.

He is talking about the game Arkansas against UNC where the Razorbacks knocked off the top ranked Tar Heels in Pine Bluff.
Jordan and Worthy were on that UNC team.

Once again Dale, you are acting like the 90s is relevant. It has just as much relevance as anything Tennessee did in the 90s in football. Zero.
Tennessee is a dead program in football, just as Arkansas is in basketball.
Don't delude yourself.

Jordan has been quoted as saying that Moncrief at Arkansas and the Milwaukee Bucks was the best defender he has ever faced.

This makes sense. I can Google "Arkansas against UNC" and the first result is relevant. He needs to educate himself on proper search terms.

Sit back and watch Mike work..He will get it done. He is a proven winner that has rebuilt much lesser programs.

Arkansas history and tradition is relevant when history and tradition is brought up.
Arkansas is being rebuilt, the program has a feel of the 86-88 era, right now, a few big recruits and it could be back to the performance level of the early 90s.
Arkansas had a coach like Counzo, except his name was Stanley, both were bald bores on the sidelines compared to their predecessor, both coached a brand of ball that was a 180 in terms of style to their predecessor, both were seemed as mediocre compared to their predecessor. Things couldn't get worse, right?
Wrong.
When it is being said Tennessee won't pay more than x amount, that says an over the hill "name" or an up and comer will be next in line. It doesn't scream a program that is a powerhouse or is dedicated to becoming one.

Michael Jordan once told the Los Angeles Times, "When you play against Moncrief, you're in for a night of all-around basketball. He'll hound you everywhere you go, both ends of the court. You just expect it." Not a bad assessment, considering Moncrief played with a degenerative knee problem that one doctor said would limit him to no more than two years of pro basketball.
boom

Because you followed the piss poor hire of Heath with John Pelphrey, a coach with a winning percentage below 55.
Making back-to-back hires as bad as Heath and Pelphrey is much more similar to Tennessee football post Fulmer than Tennessee basketball.

Actually the hire was Altman, who was a good hire, the refusal to allow him to bring his academic support staff was, well, dumb.

Tennessee hasn't made a hire yet.
After Heath, their was a refusal to spend the money to get a great coach, we had washed up "names" showing interest in the job and a pool of mid-major gambles as a result.
Tennessee has just as much of a chance as hiring the next Pelphrey as they do the next Martin.

Still continuing this troll that Martin is some kind of special coach?
Every coach on Tennessee's list (even White and Tyndall) have far better resumes than Clownzo.
