Feels like you could say that about darn near half the SEC. Crazy the talent in the conference now that Texas and OU joined.

The football “hate” seemed to be stronger in the 90’s when we played every year, compounded by the stoernover in ‘98. I don’t really get the sense that it’s as strong as it was then, but it’s definitely moved to baseball under Vitello. Ole Miss and Mississippi State hate each other so there may...

They started it earlier than scheduled and when he showed up they told him not to worry about it since they’d already started

Aloy’s defense carried him a long way too IMO. A little ironic though since his last play probably cost Arkansas their game against LSU not going for the double play.

It was actually the Illinois game on Thanksgiving. 2nd highest rated college basketball game since 2008. It may be topped by Arkansas-Duke on Thanksgiving this year though. Muss had Arkansas as one of the top social media followings in CBB but Calipari is definitely an even more polarizing...

Yeah he’s been within one game of making the finals several more times. Seems like it’s always another SEC team that gets in the way, mostly LSU.

FWIW they said that the PC started early and Aloy wasn’t there yet so when he got there they told him to just not come to the podium so he didn’t interrupt it in the middle.

Not following what the first part of that has to do with the second lol

It’s not just the Arkansas fanbase who thinks a lot of that to be fair, pretty consensus around college baseball on the facilities and fan support

Oregon State was just an example. Everyone has different aspirations to your point, but when one of the top SEC jobs opens the support for baseball is just different. Most coaches would want every available resource they can get. But then again, you do have people like Mark Few who stay at...

And no coach would take the Oregon State job over the Arkansas one, I guess that was my point. A&M football is as mediocre as it gets yet coaches consider that job borderline elite. Really nothing to do with Vitello just the thought process that one player not making a play in the title game has...

I wouldn’t be so sure that Arkansas under the current administration wouldn’t sacrifice some football for basketball/baseball. Fans are already apathetic when it’s a fight just to get to 7-8 wins and the mindset from the AD is that’s about as good as can be expected. Definitely closer to MSU...

Northwest Arkansas has most of this as well. Great mountain biking and a world class American art museum. It is hard to find much for one day without planning in advance though. I actually remember when Vitello first went to Tennessee he compared the Knoxville area to the Ozarks and said they...

I get it, that’s always going to be the elephant in the room until it’s not. But essentially being a dropped foul ball away from how a program is viewed just feels like semantics. The facilities, fan support and consistent CWS trips are all there, just not sure coaches would be turned off by one...

He’s probably the favorite but Wes Johnson could be a candidate too since he’s from Arkansas and was a former assistant under DVH. Of course a lot can change in 5 years or whenever he decides to hang it up.
