No. Go Michigan. Go whatever team is playing against tennessee too. Hope any remaining sec teams lose by a million.

We were definitely better in the Big8/Big12

We had a respectable program back then. Now we come into the SEC and we’re one of the worst programs here. Even Mississippi probably looks at us as a layup win

The Haith/Kim Anderson years really hurt us


Remember that '94 team that went undefeated in the big 8 but lost by 52 to eventual National Champion Arkansas? Good times.

ADs Jeff Long and Hunter Yuracheck pissed off too many hog fans rich and poor.


Don't forget John White who, as Chancellor stated it was his intent to de-emphasize athletics and direct as much funding as possible to academics. He actively sabotaged Nolan, while also withholding resources from the football program. We've not recovered almost two decades later.
We all know his favorite media timeout of each half is the Under Sixteen timeout. (allegedly)

FU is a matchup nightmare for us. While I think we have an advantage in the backcourt, theirs is really good. Not much of a gap there. And their front line should feast on ours.

The most obvious bullshite call was the phantom 4th foul on Clemence.


Aggy wearing #5 jersey should have fouled out of the game before the first media timeout. Guy was hugging Acuff around the waist on every in-bounds play. Aggy is fortunate the officials were as lenient on that as they were.

Also, late in the second half after the outcome had been decided, the goofy caucasian Aggy got a pair of and-ones after lowering his shoulder into Ewin, with Ewin just standing in one spot with his arms in the air. Somehow, that got called a foul on Ewin both times.

Saying Aggy got screwed on the calls is just Aggy being Aggy. Nobody will argue that this officiating crew was competent, but it's ridiculous to say one team was given preferential treatment by their incompetence.

Joe Klein, Oliver Miller

For the record…Klein did just fine against Shaq. LSU’s best couldn’t beat Arkansas second team.


Scott Hastings was pretty darn good before Smokin' Joe transferred in. Hastings went on to a nice career in the NBA and has done great work as the Nuggets radio guy.

Also, Kleine had some EPIC battles with Hakeem and Phi Slamma Jamma back in the day. Joe held his own just fine against the Dream.

Oliver Miller was the one who battled Shaq in college. Stuffed his shot at the buzzer to force OT in Fayetteville and the Hogs went on to win. Mayberry was an assassin in that game.

I don't think I'd ever be able to narrow down an All-Time Hog roster...

Starters
1. Acuff
2. Moncrief/Day (how do you choose...?)
3. Joe Johnson
4. Corliss
5. Joe Kleine

Off the Bench
1's - Mayberry, Darrell Walker, Anthony Black
2's - Brewer Sr, Moses Moody, Alvin Robertson, US Reed
3's - Thurman
4's - Portis, Gafford, J-Will
5's - Big O, Scott Hastings

Honorable Mention - Personal Favorites:
Ron Huery - still the most talented individual player Nolan ever had
Isaiah Joe
Daryl Macon
Brandon Dean
Ernie Murray
Arlyn Bowers
Corey Beck
Jonathon Modica
Shootah
Dwight Stewart
Sunday Adebayo
Lenzie Howell
Frank Broyles
Lou Holtz
Kenny Hatfield
Hugo Bezdek
I got no dog in this fight. In fact, I'd say anything that's bad for Old miss is generally good for all of civilization. HOWEVER, it's curious that Chambliss gets denied while over at USC Chad BM is drawing retirement and boring his teammates in the locker room by telling them what birds he saw today on his feeder in the back yard.

re: Ed Orgeron calling the Hogs?

My impeccable sources are telling me it's a Done Deal. And he's bringing Brent Schaeffer with him as OC. Natty incoming.
That was the initial version I heard, but then I saw another report clarifying that TV got word that DVH got allocated the women's basketball portion of NIL at Arkansas for his baseball program. TV went to Danny and told him he wanted something similar. Danny didn't budge because of Tenn's history of WBB. So... TV went shopping around. Seems to me like a power play between the two now. If Danny blinks, TV gets some lady vol money and stays, or if TV blinks... hello Giants.

Truthfully it's when Insiders don't think either will change their mind. It isn't done until the coach tells the old team by.

Not a fan of texas being in the league. Every league they've ever been part of they have made worse. They would do it to the SEC as well, but it seems that college football as a whole is doing it to itself with NIL, the portal, and expanding the playoffs until it's essentially a participation trophy...

I loved the12-team league with the divisions and traditional rivalries preserved while making room for the noobs. Now it's just too crowded. Can't make equitable schedules and serve all the desired rivalries. Too many contrived pairings that lack any juice.

re: Rank The Old School Logos

We have quite a few really good retro logos such as Slobber Hog and Hog Through the A. I'm just glad OP didn't include Popcorn Snot Hog or Pumba Pig.

A world class motivator, and a solid as frick recruiter.
Makes three star players play like 4 stars, and you are guaranteed to be physical. O tasted the pinnacle of CFB and went off the rails, its true.


You're not really that far off. Might actually be a decent fit. That said... the next coach at Arkansas is - first and foremost - going to have to be able to get the Old Guard money folks in the state to step up with NIL support. I'm not sure what they think of O.

The name that seems to make the most sense right now is Rhett Lashlee. Springdale kid. Played at the U of A. Has had decent success at SMU. Young and hungry and not as big a risk to jump at another job if he sees success here. Seems pretty polished and should be able to work the whole state to get donors to pay for the program.

Yeah but in those 21 years, some really fun games were played. I've missed it.

Yes, we call this the SWC pod.


OU has never played a down in the SWC.

Would prefer Old Miss over Missouri, but it's not bad. Would also like to see LSU moved to Thanksgiving weekend again. It was always such a great way to end the season.

1978 orange bowl against Oklahoma


First game I ever saw in person. Roland Sales held the rushing record for over 30 years.

Second game I ever saw in person was 42-11 vs texass in Fayetteville in 1981.

Great games I'd easily re-live include Miracle on Markham, Miracle on Markham 2.0, 1998 Kentucky in WMS, 1999 tennessee in Fayetteville, 2021 texass in Fayetteville, LSU in WMS in 2010, texass in WMS in 1991 when their kicker missed about a dozen kicks and an extra point.
