Well for one Arky is by far the worst team in the SEC and they run a Big 12 offense and care very little about defense. Two, UT and Arkansas is like comparing Bama and Kentucky as far as tradition history etc. Third, UT has some of the brightest defensive coaches in the game and Arkansas has a DC who is a retread and bounces from gig to gig every 2-3 years.

Whew, ok...

1. We do suck right now, but he’s committing to play somewhere for the next 4 years. And it’s not like y’all are good currently either. A lot can change in that span.

2. Morris has never coached in the Big 12. The same offense just won a national championship. Russell is a LB anyway so not sure why that matters. Auburn also runs a similar style.

3. Arkansas historically is a top 25 program all-time and at least has been to Atlanta 3 times and finished top 5 in the country under Petrino. We’re not Bama but we’re not Kentucky either. We used to be great in basketball too but that doesn’t mean I’m going to compare us to UK basketball like some of you seem to be doing with football.

And the people hating on Fayetteville have obviously never been to Northwest Arkansas. It’s one of the fastest growing regions of the country, Walmart and Tyson money have done a lot for it the last 20 years. It’s getting a Topgolf soon while the only one in Tennessee is in Nashville.

But for the record, I think Russell ends up at Tennessee.

I did a couple jobs as a millwright contractor back in 2002 there. It was smaller than I imagined but a nice little town. Penguin Ed's best bbq I'd eaten about anywhere. There was a JFK and Jaqueline Kennedy picture in there sitting with a guy in a suit. They were in a diner drinking coffee. Liked it so much I bought it. 17 years later it's hanging in my kitchen.

Oh, we'll be back in football soon. I firmly believe that. However, I think Arkansas will still be irrelevant in football as they have been for 50 years. Arkansas has a history of choking in the few big games it's played (Texas in 1969, Tennessee in 1998, etc.). They even lost a Sugar Bowl to Ohio State after the Buckeyes were like 0-10 in bowl games vs.SEC school. Arkansas has a nice middling program, nothing more.

I remember going to the 1990 Cotton Bowl to see the Vols beat Arkansas. May have been the Razorbacks' last conference championship; they were in the SWC at the time.

Friendly advice:
You're still on a competitor's fan board and you've been here long enough to know that's usually ok. But your fellow Hog probably spent too much time alone during puberty with nothing but a poodle and a jar of peanut butter for company. Thus developing his current ideas of entertainment.
He swatted at the hornet's nest in an attempt to make these postsers mad - 'trolling'.

Unfortunately for him, he doesn't know these guys. They won't get mad, they'll just make him look like a complete idiot and enjoy every moment.

Just enjoy the show, don't take it personal and resume as normal, after.

Since when did Top Golf become the measuring stick of a city or state?

We've been whipping that ass in basketball for the better part of 2 decades. No one in the sec has beaten Kentucky more than us. Arkansas has been less than an afterthought in both major sports since I've been alive.

We're 21-20 vs. Arkansas in basketball all-time. Which, sure, is decent.

We're 13-5 vs. Arkansas in football all-time. Which is, also, decent.
