I forget that schools exists except for when they beat us in baseball. They do have a better baseball program than us. But then again, so does pretty much everybody.

Which Arkansas alter is this?

Memphis is such a coveted conference expansion piece that it is still stuck in the AAC, and has been passed over by the Big 12 in favor of juggernauts like Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF.

It is pretty embarrassing. Mizzou is probably never going to be a baseball juggernaut with two MLB franchises bookending Columbia, but this degree of lack of investment in the baseball program is inexcusable. I think there is a baseline expectation as an SEC program to at least make some effort to be competitive. And that should start with forking out some cash to hire a better coach, and then improving the stadium. And this is coming from someone who really doesn't care about college baseball.

Paid $60 to park at the NC State arena the other week for the first round tourney games.

$60.

It seems like they don't want us to attend. My couch + a dozen buffalo wings + the best six-pack of beer I can find is more comfortable, a better viewing experience, and a tiny fraction of the cost to park at the stadium alone.

I've always heard Texas fans describe their relationships with their primary rivals as hating A&M, but not respecting them, and hating OU, but respecting the hell out of their program.

If it’s this simple, then why aren’t the other 300+ players doing it?

This is Arkansas' Super Bowl.

It's not a real rivalry until you've had an actual war between the two sides.

Probably nobody? Would watch more pro sports.

frick the SEC and frick the Big 10. They’ve already destroyed a bunch of traditional rivalries with conference expansion to chase the almighty dollar. Now they want to water the regular season down to the point where we’ll be hearing about what team that finished 6th in their conference passes the eye test and is deserving of a playoff spot.

Going 5-3 in conference doesn’t deserve to ever be sniffing a CFP, especially when the non-conference schedule is an FCS team, 2 bottom tier G5 teams, and a P4 in the lower half of their conference. Regular season is going to be so watered down now that its almost pointless to watch until the last 2 weeks of the season

I don't disagree with your sentiment, but if the SEC and Big 10 hadn't done it, we'd just be saying "frick the Pac-16 and the Mega-ACC" instead.
