Last spot is for either Jacobs or Diamond. If neither pick Arkansas then IDK who we give it to.

Culp maybe?

Yea apparently we still don't know if Dean is being counted for this class or last years since he technically signed last year....

I would think if Jacobs, Diamond and Neal say no we'll save it for next year.

I'll give you this, SunHog...you definitely know how to troll. But you're trolling the wrong fanbase, bro! What's up with that?!!!

Actually, I find it funny.



I'm not the only Hog Fan who disagrees with this group. I'm sticking with the Math until someone wins the SEC with classes ranked at the bottom of the league.

Our 2009 class was ranked #7 in the SEC out of 14 therefore we could get it done this next year and be the first to ever accomplish it. However, the odds say this isn't likely.

It's not math. It's numbers attached to opinion.

There is a cut off line with numbers.

No class outside of the top #15 has ever won a BCS National Title. Oregon got close but it still hasen't happened.

Arkansas got close to the SEC championship 3 times but it didn't happen. While South Carolina even got close but it didn't happen.

Until one of these teams breaks thorough the numbers don't lie.

We have 2 spots left.

Dean counts back to 2011.


I hope we close with Diamond and Neal....that would make up for DGB IMO

When a team does breakthrough, then the numbers lie?

Rankings are not science. Let it go.

They just change slightly, very slightly because we are talking about a 1 time occurrence until it becomes a trend. Once, it's a trend the number will change.

Rankings are not exact science at all but there is a serious cutoff point that holds true.

Our bad rankings (including Arkansas kids underrated), along with good coaching and development of players has lead us to a BCS bowl, Cotton Bowl win and 21-5 record over 2 years.

However, it hasn't produced any championships and the odds say it won't.

These are facts until someone breaks through and it becomes a trend changing the numbers.

I hope we can start in 2012 but you must understand the math just like vegas does.

Not completely, but why has Rivals' #1 class won the national title every year, at some point in their career, since that service's inception in 2002?

It seems the people who pump up Arkansas the most are the quickest to tear it down when things don't go as planned. You are no better than hawgalude in that department. Also, reading your "post name and age" threat gave me quite a chuckle. If you don't like the way I'm talking to you we can take it to the next level. That level is face to face interaction. I'm 6'4 220 lbs, so in a dog eat dog world I'm pretty wealthy.

Because the coaches knew how to evaluate and coach the talent?

Don't forget everyone that has won the SEC has had at least a top 4 SEC class during that period.
