Which Arky streak ends first? Players Arrested or Conference Wins?

We've only had 1 player arrested since Bielema took over. Austin Flynn got a DWI, his field sobriety test was longer than any playing time he got in the year before Bielema took the job.
Flynn was booted off the team shortly when he didn't adhere to Bielema's requirements to rejoin the team. The precedent was set and we've not had a player get arrested in almost a year and a half.
In the year before Bielema there were 8 Razorbacks on the roster to get arrested. When we had thuggish dudes that couldn't keep it together off the field or in the classroom we were in the mix for conference titles.
So in the SEC does thuggin' and buggin' equate to wins and on the field success, or can a school recruit smart young men from quality families and good heads on their shoulders and still field a winning football team?

Bielema just ate their arrest records so we don't know about them

If arrests=wins then UGA would be your 5 time defending BCS champs

Look around America. Kids that come from quality families good neighborhoods don't play sports. The football fields, courts and baseball fields that used to be packed are empty. You never see kids playing outside anymore. Soft and spoiled. Have fun trying to win with them.
The kids that grew up harder are better athletes. They aren't sitting in ac playing video games all day. They are going to be rough around the edges but they will produce on the field.

If Richt had his felons under control like Saint Gus controls his then maybe they would.

Every kid that grows up in poverty isn't a tPOS.

I never said they were tPOS but they will be rougher around the edges than rich kids.

I'm really starting to feel bad for you Arky fans. If there is even a slight glimmer of hope that Arkansas isn't a complete shitpile of a program you guys flock to it like mosquitos to a bug zapper.

There haven't been many arrests because Arkansas players don't really have a reason to party.

You needed a reason to party in college?

I don't think we'll have anyone arrested before August 31st..

The arrest streak continues to next season

Not really but if I played football and got my arse whooped regularly I probably wouldn't be too pumped to go out.

I think it's possible that a clean arrest record and conference wins might be mutually exclusive.
