yeah, that same Arky that's played for the SEC title 3 times in 17 attempts, including twice against your team...

Yes, South AR and North LA are joined at the hip...but I grew up in PB and my family is from Crossett, and I will be there Friday night, on my way up to LR Sat. for the game; and yes ,you do see some LSU signs ON CARS WITH LA LICENSE PLATES, but natives in South AR are huge Hog fans, and spending the first 30 years of my life in South AR, I can say no one feels "disconnected" from THE FLAGSHIP UNIVERSITY FOR THE STATE OF AR?!!!

BTW, when I moved to New Orleans in 2000, my first experience with LSU fans, was they just hoped to have a winning season...remember the seasons between '89-2001...It was called the Hallman/Dinardo years, go check how competetive you were in the SEC then, and get back to me..

Lastly, which former Razorback Coaches left for "greener" pastures??...Broyles?, he became AD, Holtz? fired for going 6-5, and wound up at Minnesota. Hatfield? Left in the middle of the night Jan. '90 for Clemson, after a Cotton Bowl loss to TN/and a meeting with Broyles afterward, in which he was told he would have to "let go some assistants.." by Broyles, so "sight unseen" he abruptly leaves..Jack Crowe? fired by Broyles in '92 after a loss to the Citadel, now he's at Jacsonville State...Danny Ford? fired at end of '97 season, after back to back losing seasons.
Houston Nutt? agreed to resign, for a $3mm buyout of his remaining contract, and Sexton gets him the Ole Miss gig.

So,who has left AR for the "better job" since 1958? The answer, no one..

On Fayetteville, I admit,I have been gone from there since '91 (have attended a few games since then), so I can see where the huge growth/development that the Walmart/Tyson's have brought to the area in the last 15-20years, may have "dilluted" some of the small town Southern charm, as well as brought in alot of "transplants" as well...but look at Atlanta, it's lost alot of it's "Southern" feel as well, due to it's economic boom; heck, New Orleans for that matter, has tons of "transplants" from the North,etc..so some of that "feel" gets dilluted by progress/development, but there's still "just enough" of it's traditional roots. I am sure Fayetteville still has plenty of it's roots and comfort zone to keep it's original identity hanging around..

well, a series that is that "tight" and explaining it away due to one team "overlooking" the other,etc. is akin to lightening striking the exact same place repeatedly...

The series is close because it's not only a rivalry, but the two teams square off against each other pretty evenly matched year in and year out. The talent gap is not that wide.

The SEC series with LSU (10-7) is much more competitive than our SWC series was with Texas, due in part to the population bases and demographics being closer between LA and AR.

"we OVERLOOKED YALL two seasons in a row.." and also in 2000 and 2002...

Actually, in your most successful decade in program history you have managed to "overlook" us 4 times in 9 meetings; under the "watchful eyes" of both Nick Saban and Les Miles.How is it that that you're only one game over .500(5-4) against AR on their watch?

MetryTyger,

Again, when the series record reads: 6 to 5 in past 11 meetings, it's hard to refute that AR can't feel pretty confident they have a shot at winning each time the two schools play..

Bottom line, on Miles "watch" the series is "knotted" @ 2 wins a piece. Further more since '05(Miles) this game has been decided by a TOTAL of 10 POINTS in 4 meetings.
You talk about "everloving gifts"...in the '05 game in BR the AR kicker missed TWO CHIP SHOT FIELD GOALS; he only needed one in a 19-17 loss, so Hog fans know all about missed opportunities and "gifts" in this series...

the series records vs. AL and LSU stand at 10-7(excluding the '93 AL forfeit); winning games against either of these division rivals are not upsets, based on the conference history. Saban/Miles have only combined for a 5-4 series record against AR this decade.

The question was, how many titles have you "played for", which indicates there is a game played in order to decide who is the conference champion.

Skull, I see some nice " penalty, TD called back,etc." excuses from you on page 2 when addressing LSU losses each season from '98 forward.. you have alot of room to talk about me sounding like an Auburn fan...you're a trip dude..whatever makes you feel better though.

yeah, I know all about luck, considering in the '05 game in BR, a 4-7 Hog team missed 2 chip shot field goal attempts, needing only one of them to secure a win in Miles first year, the final was 19-17. Or take that Holiday kick return back in '06, and hogs win that one... as I said earlier, the past 4 games, on Miles watch, have been decided by a total of 10 points, seems LSU has needed just as much luck as the Hogs lately.

At the end of the day, the numbers don't lie, they can't exert any opinion/subjectivity, the record books will simply reflect 6-5 since '98.

so let me get this straight, since AR joined the SEC in'92 the series record between LSU and AR stands at 10-7 in favor of LSU, but since '98 the series goes 6-5, and under Miles/Saban it's 5-4 between them, heck under Miles the four games they have played have been decided by a TOTAL OF 10 POINTS?!! Seems to me since we joined the this conference we've done well against the Tiggers?? Let's look at Auburn: last 11 meetings AR 6 wins AU 5 wins; how about Bama? Tide 6 wins; Hogs 5...I think the Razorbacks have held their own in the Western Division; including 2 Title game appearances this decade.

You don't make 36 Bowl appearances, with 23 BEING NEW YEAR'S DAY Bowls, including: 11 Cotton, 5 Sugar, 2 Orange, 1 Fiesta, 2 Gator, 2 Citrus and have a "cellar dweller/ mediocre football program.

Hey Tiger Fans where was your team from '89-'01?

remember Hallman and Dinardeaux?
