Don’t know that we can count Dan Hampton - born in OK
Those are some great picks y’all. As far as pure athletic ability, one would have to consider Matt Jones and Darren McFadden. Sports Figure would be Bear Bryant, no question.

Ah, frick you boys. I’m 71 and pulled out a hat I could wear in the drink. If you’re not a Sigma Chi, I understand why this would upset you.
Some good ideas. I’d rather not take Texas Tech or UCF if we can help it.

College sports in the South

Posted by Arkyologist on 6/5/26 at 3:47 pm
We’re down on the coast with the grandkids and I’m sitting in the shade taking a break. A middle-aged lady comes up to me and shouts OMGosh are you a Sigma Chi (I’m wearing a ball cap with the shield & cross)?! I stood up and said yes ma’am and she introduces herself, shakes my hand and tells me her husband is a Sigma Chi and she was a little sister both at Baylor. Told her I went to Arkansas and we had a good visit.

Off to the side, a few feet away was a younger teenaged girl walking by wearing a burnt orange hat. She proceeded to give us a “hook’em” sign.

Gotta love it!
WVU folks are just fine - most stupid thing I’ve seen out of them is saying “Eat shite Pitt” over and over and over - their cheer is “Let’s Go!” - boy that’ll get you fired up!

West Virginia has a lot in common with Arkansas actually - Appalachian hillbillies and Ozark hillbillies - we lived in Morgantown for seven years and loved it - Southern West Virginians are Southerners - northern WV is a mix but has a lot of Yankees

Thing is, as rabid as the fans are, they don’t hold a candle to any SEC team
Yes, well each win 50% - y’all have been lucky as all get out since we’ve been playing in the Big D - especially after you joined the SEC - seven of the games you won in Arlington were by one score or less and three went into OT - as shitty a run against the SEC we’ve had over the past decade during a time when y’all have been perceived as world beaters ought to give you pause.
Yes, thankfully we’re going to home and home!
Hogs had a pretty impressive advantage all-time over the Aggies until A&M got the call to the SEC and since we’ve been playing them in Dallas. The pendulum has swung drastically since then.

Arkansas was never in the Big 12.
Glad you posted that - thing is, he really thought he was right (may still) - is it racist to stereotype or just ignorant?

I’d say in this case it’s ignorance. He said it in 2019 and here’s how things panned out for the NCAA and NFL

Joe Burrow won the Davey O’Brien award for the best collegiate QB in 2019

Mac Jones won the award in 2020

Aaron Rodgers was MVP in 2019

Patrick Mahomes was MVP in 2020

That’s what AI is saying - don’t doubt it, all the SWC had it in for the Longhorns

Horns Down Sign

Interesting question:

Which fan base was the first to use the “horn’s down” sign?

I would have thought: Arkansas, Texas A&M or Oklahoma but AI says differently!




Arkansas

Boothead: Ron Brewer, Sr.
Batman: Ahmad Carroll
Bambi: Lance Alworth
Big Nasty: Corliss Williamson
Having monuments does not equal racism and is certainly not an endorsement of slavery - we are proud to be Southerners and there was a lot more to the war than just slavery
I did make a mistake - I meant the kid from Ferguson, MO
