Just pissing away cash does nothing.


Aggie with Fisher is all the proof of this anyone should need. Sure, that was largely before NIL. But it's not like there wasn't some money going on under the table anyway.

Talent recognition is still undefeated.
Arkansas 2019. If only they'd gotten past 3.14159% of the playbook installed, none of y'all would have had a chance. :pimp:

They know where things are going for their program now that Papa Saban and paying players under the table are gone.


Two things can be true at once. Husky Harsin can be a train wreck in waiting, AND NIL can be sucking the soul out of the product.

His personality will


This is a far better argument than the degree.

his upbringing that dealt with finances doesn't hurt.


If this is just the bachelors, I'm here to tell you as a subject matter expert that a Bachelors in Econ is meaningless to this discussion. Both in knowledge and in perception. Absolutely nobody respects an undergrad econ degree. Finance would be better, but still largely irrelevant. If he has a family history or a pre-football history that I'm unaware of of having to interact with big money, then that would be more relevant.

It's going to come down to whether he can sell the Arkansas Football product as a good investment. Either in terms of actual return or in terms of social return.
I have a BA in Economics. It's pretty meaningless. That's why I transitioned to tech. I didn't want the extra seven years to make economics education viable.

I don't think MC=MR is going to help anyone raise money.

Texas Tech has an oil billionaire (pretty good year so far) going through money on every program.



It's criminal we haven't done more to court the Waltons. Alice in particular is focused on making NWA a destination spot in the country. Quality athletics could be part of her goal if we made the pitch correctly.

Seems like Ryan understands this at least, so maybe he can get it done.
quote:

Everything is assumptions at this point

Someone that assumes the negative and lets it affect their attitude negatively to the point of posting about it online is retarded.


This is a board for discussing Arkansas Athletics. Football season is on the cusp of starting. We suck and have for a while.

Therefore it's not unreasonable to discuss how we have sucked and anticipate further sucking on the board designated for discussing Arkansas athletics.

That doesn't mean a negative attitude and it certainly doesn't mean said attitude is "affecting" any of us. I generally don't think about the Hogs unless I'm bored and make the message board circuit. (Which in its own way is a little sad because this time in years past my thoughts would have been dominated by the upcoming season.)
No thanks. If it can't be us, then I don't want it to be none of y'all. I'm petty like that

Arkansas isn't running around acting like our shite don't stink at every opportunity every offseason

Spoken like an Arkansas fan. And every game was lost as the result of officiating…same as all other losses.

I miss the SC-Arkansas games. There's was always something fun about the matchups since we entered the SEC together even though we're pretty far apart distance wise. It'll be fun having them back on the schedule this year.


:cheers: Strongly agree.

None of the above.

If I had to choose, I guess Venables, Golding, and Sumrall. Though Sumrall vs Golesh is mostly a toss up. I fully expect both to fail spectacularly.

Heupel and Venables are both solid coaches. But Heupel doesn't seem to know how to take the next step. The jury is still out on whether Venables does. I'd rather roll the dice than accept I'll never be great.

Drink is washed up. Similar logic to the above. I'll choose the guy who still has some potential over the guy who seems to have shown his ceiling.

think in the NIL era it will trend more heavily to X’s and O’s


nah. It will trend towards whoever can kiss the most booster arse. X's and O's will be relegated to a permanent coordinators and support staff class, just like the NFL
That's not the rules for Arkansas. We want the one which ranks us the lowest so we can bitch and also so we don't get our hopes up.

T-9. Auburn Tigers
T-11. Florida Gators
T-11. Vanderbilt Commodores
T-11. Missouri Tigers
14. Mississippi State Bulldogs
15. Kentucky Wildcats
16. Arkansas Razorbacks


I'd swap LSU and Ole Miss and maybe move the Aggies up one.

It brings me no pleasure to say this.

And the goat demon that was exorcised from Wrigley Field and came to haunt DWRRS.
I never really cared about the outcome. And it's not because of losing so much. I DO care about the A&M game. But Missouri is boring and hard to get up for.
Seriously makes me wonder if someone should look into any arrests made on cases he was involved with.

The presence of Texass fans alone makes y'all not the worst by default.

I have very little beef with them on this site. The worst posters here come from other fanbases.
