What if Bear Bryant accepted the Arkansas job rather than joining the Navy at the beginning of WWII?

What if Virginia was called for the double dribble in the final four against Auburn. I legitimately think Auburn would have beaten Texas Tech in the championship game

Japs bombing Pearl Harbor.

We were a good program back in the 20’s, 30’s, and won the SEC in 1941 (we should claim that NC not bama)

After PH our team of young men was sent to the South Pacific or Europe and a lot didn’t make it back. We were poised to position ourselves as a very respectable southern football program and we never recovered after WW2

What if every conference had been paying their players for the last 100 years like the SEC was doing ?

What if LSU got Tom Herman instead of Coach O? Do we get 2019? Does Texas not get set back by the Herman Experience and LSU falls back?

For Arkansas fans it will always be “The Stoern-over”

What if Frank Broyles decided to kick a FG to take a 17-0 lead against Texas in 1969?

What if Steve Atwater didn't drop a sure interception against Miami?

What if the face mask penalty was called against Texas in 77?

What if the phantom passing interference penalty wasn't called against Arkansas in the 82 SMU game?

What if the Arkansas QB didn't get injured in the first half against LSU back in 1965?

What if Clint Stoerner didn't stumble and fumble against Tennessee?

What if Reggie Fish didn't muff the punt against Florida?

What if Ryan Mallet didn't throw that pick against Alabama?

What if Ryan Mallet didn't get injured against Auburn?

What if Casey Dick didn't have such a poor game against LSU back in 06?

What if the foul ball was caught?

What if Kevin Kopps had struck him out instead of giving up a HR against NCST?

What if Bobby Petrino wasn't fired?

easy.
what if Saban never had the desire to try his hand in the NFL and just stays at LSU until retirement?


He wouldn't have become the GOAT according to the claims of most LSU fans here.

The refs were just awful both in this game and the title game against Tech.

He would stay a few years and would go to a better program.

That LSU game killed any chance of playing in the title game.

If Hatfield was still the coach then Arkansas wouldn't have lost to the Citadel and the transition from the SWC to the SEC would be less painful.

What if Marquez north doesn’t make that circus catch to send 5-7 Tennessee to a victory over the gamecocks in 2013

Holtz tanked his own recruiting and fan support by saying Fayetteville "isn't the end of the Earth, but you can see it from there."

What if bama kneels and runs the clock verses Auburn instead of the backwards pitch to coffee who fumbled. LSU goes to Atlanta instead of Auburn.
