Have his autograph and he said “maybe you can play for me someday”. That was 50 or so years ago and I wasn’t even 125 lbs soaking wet. Made my year ……. thanks Coach
No hogs? I’ll take it with a grain of salt, thank you very much
Kentucky! Oh, they’re wildcats, sorry.
Why you gotta say stuff like this? Do you really wanna hang with the Cyclones, Jayhawks and KStaters? Scalawag
All the blue bloods in my mind are actually blue:

Kentucky
North Carolina
Kansas
Duke
Connecticut


and if you want to add them, so is Florida

Arkansas has gone through a milder iteration of this and the Collegiate Licensing Company failed to protect cardinal and white. For a time they actually listed our colors as red and black ….. apparel designers etc. took that and ran with it and now you see it as a background color on TV commercials etc. They still use (crimson) and white in OU and usually Bama’s offerings but use black in ours like SC or worse; little brother Arkansas State. Here, the two largest universities in the state and the UA is using ASUs colors. If someone wanted to file a suit over brand/color infringement as we occupy similar markets, they could.

The big problems happen with programs which have only one main color plus white. The only way I see of fixing things for Arkansas would be to add a third color. Blue (like our flag) would make most sense but people would say we’re trying to look like Ole Miss. Other thoughts might include gold like the 49ers, yellow like the Chiefs (don’t care for them) or USC or silver like the dreaded Buckeyes. We used a variation of silver once to honor Jerry Jones and the Cowboys while playing in Jerry World using cardinal instead of blue and I personally liked them.

Auburn has two colors as does Florida, LSU and a host of others who rarely wear black. As the two color scheme (plus white) looks great - no guessing there.

Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky and the likes continue to have issues.

That’s the only way to get rid of the black unis etc. is to add another color.

Is it just me or does it seem like there have been quite a few calls going against the runner during the playoffs? I’m not talking a few inches either, upwards of a yard or more on spots. It’s happening so much that it appears dictated by the powers that be.
Maybe, maybe not so but your tag is ridiculous. “B1G”?. When you added teams shouldn’t it have become the “Bigger” 10 and if you go to 20 will it be the “Biggest”? Same goes for the “Big12”.

The song “Cornelius” (as in Vanderbilt) by the Newsboys makes mention of rarified air - we used to play it a lot when my kid went there …. kind of an unofficial Vandy sports tune

Since we can’t win anything, I’ll relish in their losses
Was true up until this year. Lyon College established a dental school in Little Rock and it opened this summer.
In my opinion, if she wants a seat at the table, she needs to sit it it.

On what do you base this?

The Superconference(s)

Posted by Arkyologist on 12/1/25 at 10:12 pm
Can anyone share some insight into the possibility of one or more superconferences?

Is there a real possibility that some of the lower tier schools from these conferences get left out?
Congratulations Georgia. Those are excellent and you should be proud of them. No matter that a very poor state with 1/10 of your population has 20 + more national championships than you. It’s still very commendable.

Oh, you yourself counted T&F so you can’t give me crap about that.
We don’t want anything to do with a conference spanning the entire U.S. We are a Southern school as well and have no business in a conference with Iowa State, Kansas State and the like.
Can someone post “Popcorn” Hog and “Dogbone” Hog?
