re: You Arkansas fans are fricking dumber than dirt .

Context matters. We blew a 27-9 lead against a team that would be 0-4 if we didn't frick up, and will certainly not make a bowl. A G5 team. Then we lost to another G5 team by four touchdowns at home. That's probably legitimately the worst football loss Arkansas has ever seen in it's 120 year+ history, all things considered.

Gene Stallings lost to an 8-4 Southern Miss, a Spurrier-led Florida team, and Georgia. And he lost all three games by a combined touchdown.

The fact of the matter is, despite the SEC being the best football conference for a very long time, the arms race and standard of quality have been ramped up this decade by an unprecedented amount. Alabama has an NC-winning head coach. Texas A&M has an NC-winning head coach. Auburn's head coach appeared in an NC game. Georgia's coach has appeared in an NC game. LSU just fired their NC winning coach because winning 10 games a year wasn't good enough. We don't play in the Pac 12. The Chad Morris hire didn't make sense from the beginning, and now we're looking to fall three-five years even MORE behind in this cut-throat conference.

Most teams in this conference don't know what that feels like, and even Arkansas could count on being at least middle-of-the-pack until recently.

Oh God. This is one of those "I'm a naughty, naughty Alabama fan, punish me" threads isn't it?

You say something stupid, we mock you, you get off on it. Good Lord man.

Rub one out to Auburn's misery. Dry hump FSU's dead corpse. Get firm over the thought of poisoning your neighbor's shrubbery. Just leave us out of your sick fantasies.

N Texas will likely go undefeated this year, and are near the top of most stats in the fbs this year, and they play in the same conference as Southern Miss. N Texas is probably the best team in Texas this year. It was not that bad of a loss. Bert left you guys with no depth, your players will get tired and you will lose games, but things will get better by the end of the year, and next year will be much better. I am bookmarking this post so I can remind you at a later date. N Texas will win 11 or 12 games and Arky will upset somebody and win a conference game this year. A shitty season, yes, but things will get better.

Arkansas is the type of program where they don't control their own destiny. The perception of how shitty they are will impact their recruiting because currently they can only recruit based upon what little hype the new hire could theoretically give them. And it's already gone.
