Thanks for the eye opening stats Crow Pie. Now, we all finally realize that nobody else has a chance of beating LSU, not since realizing how great JJ and LSU are.

The facts are that JJ led his team to 11 wins in 2010. Arkansas has ammased that number of wins in a single season 2 times in the last 116 years. The most recent time it was accompished was 33 years ago.

Dont be hating, the man leads the team to alot of wins.

"Petrino and UL predecessor John L. Smith (now on the UA staff) recruited 21 players to Louisville that were selected in the NFL Draft from 2005-2009. That total is more than Arkansas sent to the NFL over the same time (14). It's more than Florida (19) or Tennessee (15) or Alabama (18) or Ole Miss (11)"

But were they highly rated out of high school? If not then it doesn't matter that they became great college and NFL players. All that matters is what they're ranked out of high school and not what they did once they got in college.
