They have an entire SEC state to themselves and are dog shite tier.


For decades now.

Small population state in bad location geographically with minimal resources and wealth.

I think we do well overall being a small school in a small state in the best conference in the country. The fact these posters are jealous of us and rejoice in any misfortune we have speaks volumes.

Agreed, Arkansas is generally competitive in all sports to some extent, just not top tier consistently.

Without the success of your football program this could be said of your overall programs as well.

But you do have that one sport, we used to have track.

But your statement is not wrong.

Too bad its the one that really counts and drives everything else, huh?

I have no ill will towards Arkansas like some of the other western teams. Y'all are alright.

Didn't Arkansas win more SEC titles than the rest of the SEC?

Very ignorant statement. Top overall athletic department in the SEC.

Decent baseball program, but everything else kind of stinks right now.

You are right Clark14. It's almost like making fun of Vanderbilt, except Vanderbilt is actually good at some sports.

Couple things here: first, we are always at the top in baseball. You disagree? We have been in the top eight in basketball the last two years. You disagree? We are mediocre I. Football the last couple years and bad under the Morris and Smith years.
