Nah, I read here that there's too much bad blood there.....
Meh. They have those things but....much like aTm, something is off there. Otherwise they would already be good.
No one is disagreeing with you, but they have been average for a long time despite all those things. Something just isn’t right up there
i do not claim to have any clue what s going on up there . we obviously know about Wal Mart but they also have Tyson Foods headquartered there. they have a worth of almost 17 billion dollars. besides Arky all they have is Arkansas State, who will be happy with anything they get from either one. something is amiss in Razorback land.
Arkansas doesn’t have a great talent base and they are small population wise. they aren’t going to be Alabama or Georgia, but they can get back to what they were under Petrino pretty quick. last go around they had boosters fighting over the Chad Morris hire/fire. I think they will go all in on this next hire. They won’t tolerate being at the bottom of the sec, too much money.
Texas A&M has proved money doesn’t mean everything.
If we keep Arnett for another year it will be our only SEC win in 2yrs
What they don’t have, and never will, is a local talent base. That’s why they’re usually nothing to write home about.
But if they fire Tittman can they still call themselves the big naturals state ?
We were saying the same thing about UGA a couple years back. All it took was the right coaching formula. The rest of the pieces fall in place afterwards when you have the resources.
Texas and OK joining the SEC dould be huge for UPig. They had lots of texas talent and really good teams when they were in the Southwest Conference and played in the same conference as all the texas teams. Having UT, ATM, and OK all in SEC will get them a lot more attention from the texas kids.
UPig is already probably 30%+ texas students.
It's not a coincidence that they are both from the SWC. Texas has had some issues as well. I think the Ark and A&M came into the SEC with that SWC mentality and they have never been able to get over it. It was a conference with mostly Texas schools with a lot of money where all the schools in Texas had Billionaire boosters who tried to outdo each other and since they had the money the schools had to run the athletic programs the way the boosters wanted it to be run. Jimbo is gone because they wanted him gone. In the SEC the athletic departments were run by the department head. Now there for a while, when Bama was going through their low point after Stallins retired, Paul Byrant Jr was pulling a lot of the strings, and you see what happened there. Just my opinion.
If we keep Arnett another year, the way the dominoes are falling, he may be behind Kirby, Drinkowitz, Beamer and Saban as longest tenured SEC coach.
