Trying to compare the Arkansas football program to..... Well anyone else in the sec is humorous and a waste of your time.

Waddle away little piggy.

Interestingly, if you go by the AP and Coach's Poll, Tennessee has two national championships while Arkansas has zero.

Before the piggies have a coronary arguing semantics, I understand the circumstances behind your argument.

Neither would 99% of college football teams with Alabama in the division. With Georgia recruiting the way they are and Mullen getting UF back on track it will be hard for anyone else to win the East as well.

Nah UT is coming bruh. Sorry bout ya pigs though. If y'all get top 3 in the division any time soon i'll be surprised. Bama, LSU, A&m > AR

Lou Holtz took us to an Orange Bowl, Fiesta Bowl and Sugar Bowl in consecutive seasons in the late 70's. That's 40 years. We were ranked in the top 5 at some point during each of those seasons. We also stayed ranked around the top 10 each season from then on until 1991, save two years.

I get that we aren't Alabama and the SEC is a different animal but we're not Vanderbilt like some of you are trying to portray. Bielema took us to our lowest point since World War II, and I get having some recency bias.

Bielema somehow finished 3rd in 2015, but yeah I agree it will take us a while to get out of the mess he left our roster in. A&M has even almost cut our series lead over them into single digits with their winning streak over us right now.

Maybe if you're 10 years old. Arkansas dominated the Mississippi schools until Petrino wrecked his bike.

I'd get quite a kick out of AR not being able to get by OM and MSU, but I think Morris can get them passed those schools. But AR will never be able to consistently recruit well enough to be a top team. They need Xs and Os gurus, which they may have with Morris, but Chief has always relied heavily on having the better players.

Roughly translated.. "Wooohooo, we won some games once and played in a really cool bowl game when Lou Holtz was our coach once too...... We were soooo good, we even won some games with a drunk coaching our team."

You're pathetic...

Both have, just one was relevant 20 years ago instead of 40 years ago.

We both suck atm...

But if you want to compare histories...

UT could abandon football for 10 YEARS...A DECADE..

Arkansas could go 12-0 every year for those 10 years...

You’d still be behind in total wins...

Let that sink in when bringing up history lessons...

Why are we arguing with Hogs fans? We should be friends. Different backgrounds, different experiences, but ultimately SEC brothers-in-arms.

We're both hill people. ;)

I don't know about anyone else in orange here, but I sure as sh!t hate Old Miss. I'm sure Arkansas hates Alabama for how they've screwed with the SEC for so long. Arkansas beat Florida in their last match-up (2016). I can dig that.

We've both had some relatively recent successes, as well as more recent and significant failures. It was a fun three year conversation between me and my Pigs friends from 2013 to 2016, before both programs relocated to their respective depths.

Arkansas has been pretty well institutionally screwed, dating back to the SWC days, which was exclusively reffed by Texans, in a league in which they were the only non-Texan school. I don't know a whole lot of their history personally, but one of my buddies is an encyclopedia of Razorback lore-- a 30yo who retells his parents/grandparents stories like he himself was sitting in the stands back in the 70's.

And while Arkansas has struggled with their manufactured rivalry Mizzou, they've had enough victories over Old Miss and LSU to garner enough of my respect on the field (not to mention straight up whipping us in 2015). Meanwhile, we're struggling against a modern reality of losing to teams that we've historically towered over, having fallen (key word: ) TEMPORARILY out of the SEC's big 6 in our stretch of dashed hopes and utter misery.

We've had more in common with Arkansas over the last 8 years than we've had in differences. So let's quit being d!cks to each other.

I pretty much agree with this. If we're not playin the hogs, then I'd be inclined to root with them.

Let me tell you what is so funny, I’m at the Dyersburg basketball game now, and I’ve seen Tennessee fans beside him. I also see a UT jacket on him. As some yells go Vols, he gives a big nod, and thumbs up, and smiling big time. I’ve even talked to him, he is ready for the visit this weekend, and is excited.
