Kansas is definitely different. Enjoy your time or sentence there. ...

I doubt it ever will. Majority of Mizzou fans from Stl or KC. Arkansas doesn’t generate much interest in those areas. ...

Exactly. Highest attendance in states with no professional options. Florida and Texas outliers but much larger populations. ...

My father is 83 and definitely has strong feelings about seeing a Kansas license plate in Missouri. ...

Ark Miz will never be a rivalry until it’s moved earlier in the schedule or series becomes more balanced. Not enough interaction between fans. KC metro provides enough interaction between KS and Miz to make that entertaining even in down years. Same with Illinois in St Louis. I mentioned KY and SC...

When I lived in St Louis I would put it Kansas, Illinois 1 and 2. Nebraska was a close 3rd as I worked with a lot of Nebraska folks. Arkansas is probably 4th now living in the state. Never heard them discussed much while I lived in Missouri. Not rivals, but always enjoy playing KY and SC in footba...
re: 2 minute warning is coming to CFB
Posted by Arktigers on 4/19/24 at 7:38 pm
Angels games were always interesting. I get your point but for me more technology takes away from the game itself. Cardinals would have won another World Series but not sure I would have enjoyed as much with todays technology.

On another note. I watched some old clips of nfl and college games. Announcing was so much better. Todays telecasts are so bad. Don’t call the game, talk over the game with their personal opinions. I would love to never see another Nexgen stat. ...

Not a fan. Don’t like headsets in NFL and less in college. The more technology involved, the more it becomes a video game. Let’s just have coaches play the game on Madden. QBs calling plays were once part of the game.
MLB has moved to technology calling pitches. Movement to introduce technolo...
re: Did Arkansas just hire another Jimbo?
Posted by Arktigers on 4/9/24 at 8:15 pm
That’s my impression. Social media, NIL, portal, coaching has become a young man’s game. If NIL is there and he can just cut checks, I think he will do fine for a year or two. ...
re: Would you take Musselman or Calipari?
Posted by Arktigers on 4/8/24 at 8:54 pm
Agreed. They were not good. Todays environment it’s such a fine line between coaching and NIL/portal. Where do you spend your energy and how much energy do you have to give. ...

Feels like Jimmy Dugan from a league of their own. Jimmy you are a still a big draw, go out there and wave your little hat. 10 years ago this would have been a fantastic hire. A little long in the tooth now so you wonder about his energy and motivation. We shall see soon enough.

re: Would you take Musselman or Calipari?
Posted by Arktigers on 4/8/24 at 7:15 pm
Calipari to Arkansas feels like Jordan to the wizards, oj to 49ers, fat George Foreman fighting. All legends but past their prime hoping for a new start and signed as a draw. Calipari still knows basketball but have questions about his age and demands in the NIL/portal era. It will interesting and m...
re: Sending my first kid to a rival…Auburn
Posted by Arktigers on 4/4/24 at 6:44 pm
My oldest is attending KU for architecture. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have a kid in Lawrence. She’s happy so money well spent. I still wear my Mizzou gear when visiting and write a nice comment in the memo line of the occasional check. ...
re: Okay the jokes over. Is SEC basketball REALLY this bad?
Posted by Arktigers on 3/22/24 at 8:38 pm
For me, college basketball is like MLB or NBA. Watch during the playoffs only. Not sure what changed but I never watch during regular season. ...

Only so much money NIL money to go around. P2 focusing on cash cow football. Smaller schools investing what they have in basketball. Easier to do more with less in basketball. ...

Yeah I did except for A&M. Couldn’t bring myself to pick NEB. ...

re: If you didn't have your wife (or don't have one) would you be happy being a loner?
Posted by Arktigers on 3/21/24 at 6:49 pm
It is hard. Usually don’t post regarding personal life. Wife had some time off and took my son for a mini vacation. Called to tell me what they had done, one activity was something that should have been discussed beforehand. Not to go into details, but it’s a pattern where she decides what kids ca...
re: SEC getting dog-walked so far in the tournament
Posted by Arktigers on 3/21/24 at 5:59 pm
Just watching the product on the floor, SEC has athletic teams but not good basketball teams. For whatever reason, SEC basketball is a hard watch. Officiating, players adapting to style of play, lesser coaches … I don’t know. It’s just harder to watch in season compared to other conferences. ...
