No tears taste quite as tasty as Bevo tears. Welcome to competition.

The lowest seed to ever win it all was in 1985 when 8th seeded Villanova won it all. A 16 seed has never even reached the Sweet Sixteen.
re: Why do they keep saying Saturday will be the first 1v2 match in any sport in SEC history?

Yea. In 1993 we were #11 and UK was #2 when we beat them. In 1994 we were #3 and UK was #4 when we beat them. And in 1995 we were #9 and they were #5 when they beat us.

Well we have a few more than that which all share a last name that each have more money than all those put together, but they are even less interested in sports.

A lot of angry Arkansas fans in here. Why the dislike on the Mizzou pairing?
Because last year we had roughly as many people in our stadium watch us play Ole Miss as Missouri fans watched them play all season. When we played there the highest attendance was just over 1,000 and more than half of those were our fans that travelled. If that was a uniquely bad year for them, it would be bad but that’s normal. It isn’t so much that they aren’t good at baseball, it’s that they don’t care about baseball from the administration to the program to the fans (or lack thereof).

When you see Devo out there doing those things, he isn’t trying to make a highlight reel he is trying to win. He cares about winning more than anything else. Occasionally he will do things that are bad ideas in hindsight or are poorly executed but at no point was it ever out of doing anything other than what he thinks gives us the best chance to win. This is why Muss loves him so much, that level of intensity will lose you games but it is what you have to have to win championships.

For the hundred thousandth time, we didn’t fire Petrino because he was fricking a coed. We fired him because 1. He lied to his boss and all of us about fricking a coed, 2. He hired that coed to a position she was not qualified for over multiple highly qualified applicants and 3. Exposed the university to significant litigation because of 2.
Nick Saban would be fired for that. Now Alabama would have prevented ANY of it from ever seeing the light of day and so wouldn’t have HAD to fire him, but that was impossible for us to do because of #1. Saban wouldn’t have lied about it, he would have called his AD up and had it “fixed” real quick but that is another story.

At this point, I think we are all excited for post season play to start and the schedule to get a little easier for a bit ??.

You should really learn proper usage of the “question mark.” Without one your title has a slightly different meaning.

SEC championships are less significant when you have an at large bid all lined up. It’s sweet you guys normally have to put it all on the line to eek out that auto bid though.
re: Arky Hawgs SEC Bball history is a joke...

A good number of the years between 2000-2022 the SEC was a BAD basketball conference. Winning it would have been nice, but anyone who knows jack shite about college basketball knows getting to the Final Four is a SIGNIFICANTLY bigger accomplishment.
Analogy: Winning an SEC football championship MATTERS. Only four teams get invited to the playoffs currently and at least one and often two come out of the SEC and those teams are decided by the winner in Atlanta more often than not. The basketball tournament matters more to teams who aren’t even an at large tourney bid and NEED to win to get a tourney invite. Bragging about that over a final four is like a team from the Mountain West saying they would rather win the Mountain West than being a playoff team…it doesn’t make sense.

Slusher is literally the only one concerning at all. It’s pretty obvious he felt like the staff didn’t have his back after he got arrested, his story didn’t jive with the cops story, and then video came out showing he was basically correct. He should have been suspended but I think if the staff would have released a statement after the video saying something like “the university of Arkansas supports Miles Slusher just as it supports all of its student athletes and we believe ultimately justice will prevail in determining exactly what happened on the night in question” he would still be on the team. Silence though indicated they didn’t hve his back to him.

re: Which SEC programs are destination programs and which are stepping stone programs?
Posted by jdevers on 10/25/22 at 6:48 am
Yea, sometimes coaches leave “destination” jobs to go to another program for reasons of their own choosing. Once a long time ago, Alabama lost a coach to ATM. He inherited a 3–8 team improved it to a 7–5 record in 2001 and a 10–3 record in 2002 and then left for ATM. Didn’t even come back to say goodbye after getting hired.
