Exactly.

This thread is like asking why Ohio State gets all the recruits and Pitt doesn't.

Sorry, dude, but you're wrong. I'm no pig fan, but I've been to both places and NW Arky is WAY better than the arse-end of nowhere (better known as Oklahoma).

The best thing to come out of Norman is I-35 North (or South, take your pick).

Players don't give a shite about what NW Arkansas looks like.

I guess if you are going to make that argument than we have to say Arkansas and Oklahoma are on the same level football wise, you sure you want to do that?

No because that would make YOU an idiot.

Norman is a true college town. On game day, it's the biggest thing going on in town and it's all about them, AND, it's Oklahoma. Case closed.

Recruits don't care about what NW AR looks like. Bruthas aren't foaming at the mouth to get out and go camping. What a stupid argument.

Both landscapes are actually pretty similar. Both schools should be thankful they are not located in a dusty cow pasture like college station....

Come on! OU has been a football power 60/70 years. You might say they have Alabama like tradition. OU recruits National as well. Not a good comparison considering they recruit as good as most SEC teams.

Spoken like a true fan of a cheating school. That's what you all say to deflect the stigma from your own school. Truth is it's usually the state's that have nothing else to hang their collective hats on except college football that do most of the cheating. The ONLY thing razorback football has ever been in trouble for is paying players who actually worked $16/hr for moving furniture instead of $11/hr that the ncaa thought it was worth

We could understand your point better if you made a chart.

1) They have a much easier path than Arkansas. They market winning that crappy conference and having an easy path to the playoffs.

2) It is about 3 hrs to Dallas from the OU campus, but nearly 5 from Arkansas.

3) They play many more games in the state of TX than Arkansas.

They are Texas's bitch, Texas snaps their fingers and 0U jumps.

Perfect spot for those who feel spurned by Daddy Texas not having a spot for them on their team.

During the Switzer years it took Trans Ams, 350Zs, and double wides to get the big names on campus. Since then Oklahoma has been real big on setting up players working for boosters who are paid for work not performed as they have been caught doing under Stoops.
