This is reasonable

First time I saw Cobb-Webb

Arkansas ran it under Ken Hatfield till the 1989 season.

Fun fact. Arkansas was the first team other than Alabama or Florida to play in the SEC championship game. (Got drilled by Florida)

I give up

Stated by who?

Is the best thing on TV. Wish they would do more of it for college baseball.

A big problem was Ken Hatfield leaving for Clemson after back to back Cotton Bowl appearances and SWC championships after the 89 season. Jack Crowe’s teams were the worst since the 50s and that coincided with our entrance to the SEC.

The timing of a dip in football while going into a much tougher conference was a bad combination.

Arkansas accepted in the summer of 90. Basketball started competing 91, football in 92.

For the previous 35 years Arkansas was top 10 in winning percentage in football nationally.

Arkansas had just been to the final four in basketball the previous season.

In baseball had been to 4 college World Series with a runner up in the previous 11 years. This includes 3 trips to the CWS in the previous 6 seasons.

Arkansas was winning national championships in track.

So Arkansas was a highly respected program in those 4 sports.

We were glad to get invited and accepted to the SEC. It was sad to lose some of the rivalries in the SWC, but Frank Broyles had the foresight and the clout to peak interest from the SEC (mainly this would allow for a conference championship game in football which would be a financial windfall for the conference).

Most fans also saw the SEC as a much more prestigious conference and we felt honored to be invited.

Arkansas did that some on the 90s when we were struggling. We were just outclassed by talent at times. In some ways I think it’s smart. In some waysI think it’s kind of bush.
