Alabama, we know your answer. Sit down. Nobody stockpiles 5 stars anymore. Nobody is unbeatable, ever.

I kinda like having a bakers dozen 2-loss teams in the hunt in November.

I like it too. The current state of NIL and transfer rules are what I’m not crazy about.

I’m old and hate change though

Sport is unsustainable with the current nil and transfer portal.

But some controls on those and it's fine

The games themselves have been entertaining. The state of the sport and roster building shenanigans is a fukin abortion.

Like it. Need some restrictions on transfers but it’s November and 20-25 teams have a shot at playoffs.

I miss pre fAggie/Mizzery SEC with East and West divisions. Also need to fix portal rules.

I miss the olden days (2000's) when there were no portals and shite, but I do like the parity of today.

any given Saturday, anyone can get beat, it seems.

Youll never see Mizzou win a title in your lifetime.

Sorry about it.

We'll see next year when the urgency to win every game just isn't there. Win your cupcake games by 100, beat enough decent teams and you're in. Everyone will have a 3 game cushion so resting lightly injured players that would otherwise play will be a thing next year. You may even see some teams that have a playoff spot wrapped up rest most of their starters in a late season meaningless game. NFL lite, here we come!

Parity has been great. The transfer portal needs to be addressed though.

Nil suck with portal.

I like the juco rules of old.

Maybe keep nil and add the juco rule back, with absolutely zero way around the sitting a year. Grant the 5th year or something as the only option to transfer and immediately play at any team, then things get better I think.


I do t think this ever happens though. To much money written in contracts worth billions based on these rules.

It all fricking sucks. Young people have any idea what it was really like and what it really meant. Every aspect of the game today sucks, this shite rules, you can't hit anybody, the NIL.

The game is nothing more than minor league football now.. accept the players are getting paid a crap ton more. Arkansas is paying their QB 1.5 million this year and he doesn't know how to pass or run the ball, I highly doubt he could beat half the highschool teams in Arkansas.

The SEC sucks, they did away with divisions and now play this single table european soccer bullshite that's boring as fricking hell. Will probably expand 2 to 3 more teams, by 2035 we may be a 50 team league with a single table. Our piece of shite fearful leader of the SEC is by far the worst we have ever had and continues to make shite decision after shite decision. No innovation, brings nothing to league and other leagues are now better than us.

The transfer portal is bullshite, Arkansas has 80 new players this year.. nothing says a broke fricked up system than that. I might know the name of 1 or 2 of our players now and I really don't care to invest the time to get to know any of them. I could still name you the starting 11 of our teams back in the 90's.

The cost to go to games now is stupid as fricking hell. Have to donate a car every year just to get the right to buy tickets... and if you are Arkansas fan that awards you an 11am or 2pm game in 115 fricking degree heat for half the season. Have fun getting your tailgate on at 9am or watching your brian melt out of your ears at 3pm. Only to watch your players celebrate and dance around when they make a play being down by 30. frick this me me me generation.

It just all sucks, I want to go to a football game, not a Taylor Swift concert.

And while I'm ranting, I wish Arkansas would stop using that stuipd fricking train horn in the stadium. You can't hear the train from campus, there is no historical reason for playing it and it takes away from the game. We are the Razorbacks, play a Razorback sound, not a fricking train.

Okay I'm done.
