I don't understand why they don't have better talent. They dont have another in-state SEC team or Power 5 school to compete with in recruiting. Thats why LSU is usually good because they dont have to split recruits and have great NIL. In Mississippi...Ole Miss and Miss State have to split the best recruits, and fill the gaps with transfer portal talent.

Money should not be an issue either. Yall have Walmart and Tyson money. Its an enigma to me.

Because no one wants to play for them no matter the money.

Walmart doesn't really contribute to UofA sports. Tyson only seems interested in Basketball.

It makes me wonder how the various UofA Athletic Directors could have failed to develop those two sources into staunch supporters. Someone screwed up somewhere.

If you can look past the ticks, chiggers and meth the Ozarks and Ouachitas offer some really nice beauty

They are not true Arkansans like the Tysons and Hunts are.

I spent a few days at Greers Ferry Lake this summer and it was nice.

Ever been to Clovis, NM or West Texas? I'll take Arkansas all day.

We can get talent to be a decent SEC team.

We just keep hiring bad coaches. It’s that simple.

A competent coach and we’d get the money we need.

The problem is both.

The reputation is so bad that no one is going to risk coming here.

I was just explaining how we got here, not why we’re stuck here!

It’s going to take striking gold on a upcoming coach and him catching lightning in a bottle with the team to fix this.

Surprised they haven’t asked for advice from Jimmy or Jerry. How do you not tap those resources?

Being the only team in the state doesn’t mean anything when the high school talent is equal to Idaho

Arky should have soeone(very hot chick) whos job is only to converse(and other things) with Jones, the Waltons, and guys at the head of WalMart. Sex always sells.

I mean..they have so many wealthy fans...it is insane they are not doing well now.

Arkansas has high school teams that would beat them.

Insane to think about. That would help so much.

It is the closest school to the original Walmart. How isn't that a bigger draw than it is? Fayetteville is actually a nice town. They have both a US and a Confederate cemetery in town.

Doesn't matter when you are seen as a perennial loser.

Arkansas supposedly had better talent tonight and lost to a fellow first year coach in his first season being a head coach. Theoretically Arkansas had a talent AND coaching advantage and got their arse kicked.

I can remember looking at the depth chart on this team two months ago on ourlads.com

Holy Toledo they are scrubs compared to the teams of the past.
