Easier competition = more wins

Would they be a "Junior" member getting a token slice of the pie? I imagine leaving the SWC would disqualify them from Preferred Membership...

Ubben continues his multi decade run as a clown. This is pretty much like saying the Jacksonville Jaguars would be better off in the USFL.

From 1998-2011, they weren't all that bad(Houston Nutt and Bobby Petrino). They went 109-65 in that span and were fairly consistent outside of the 2004/2005 seasons. Neckbrace had them rolling in 2011. He was #3 in the country at one point finishing in the top 5.

Ain't no way Arkansas gives up all that $EC money to "be a better fit"

Arkansas was hurt the most by us joining the SEC. Why would a recruit in Texas go to Arkansas when the can now stay in state and also still play in the SEC.

Ubben is a tu mouthpiece, always has been, always will be. And Arky can enjoy playing A&M for SWC nostalgia still, while also playing Mizzou, LSU, and other states they actually share something in common with, all while getting paid handsomely.

This is just to get clicks and try to help Texas.

Arkie was the first school to figure out how bad of a business partner sip is. Why on earth would they return to that situation?
A fearful society is a compliant society. That's why Democrats and criminals prefer their victims to be unarmed. Gun Control is not about guns, it's about control.

Anytime some Arky turncoat brings this up on one of their boards, he gets his teeth kicked in and a gallon of meth slag dumped down his throat. They aren't going anywhere. I dare say that they hate tu every bit as much as we do.

Actually if you look at the statistics, Arkansas is getting around the same number of players from Texas as they were before A&M joined the SEC. I do think A&M is getting more players that were going to Texas before so in a roundabout way it probably hurt Arkansas.

What hurt Arkansas' Texas recruiting more was leaving for the SEC, haven't recruited Texas very well under any coach since then.

As for leaving for the Big 12, I just don't see the point. Maybe it leads to 8 wins per year instead of around 6 wins per year in the SEC but you're still not going to be winning titles most years with Texas and OU still there. Not worth the loss in revenue to move a few notches up in the conference standings.

I would definitely be concerned about winning the B12 with OU in the conference. Texas though? Has something changed over the last 25 years to make them a threat to ever win that conference?

I mean I hate them as much as anyone but they'll always recruit well because well, they're Texas. Coaching hires have been very underwhelming lately though and not sure that changes with Sark. Still they finished in the top 10 just three years ago even during a really uncharacteristic stretch for them lately.

The biggest hub for Arkansas alumni outside state lines? It's the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, an area not in the SEC footprint that's a melting pot of graduates from Arkansas' potential new conference mates.

Poor little tea siphanging on to wins from the 90s and Macs years. make no mistake, you've become their b**** and those corn people do not fear you!

After you go 3-4 after this year, you can still cling to those late 90s matches for comfort!

1. The grass is always greener.

2. People sure have short memories. Just because a program is dominant or a doormat right now doesn't indicate mean it'll always be that way.

I'm not hanging on to anything. My philosophy is that you're only as good as you are today.

I was merely pointing out that 4-11 does not make a team a b*tch to another. No team is in fear of any other team in college football.

If 3-3 is bad, then you won't like your status with Miss St, Auburn, LSU and Alabama.

Saying Arkansas would be better in the Big 12 is like saying Hudderfield Town will be better now that they have been relegated from the Premier League to the Championship. I would not want to be the AD who told my school President that they need to move to the Big 12 even though it will mean an annual haircut of around $30M. Yes, they would like to play t.u. and OU, but they have built an identity of being an SEC school

Sorry Bevo, enjoy your trip to Fayetteville, but the Hogs have left for the Premier League of CFB, the SEC, and they have no interest in joining you in a second tier league.

They are in the top 10 of virtually every poll right now. Ranked as a better team than Miss St, Auburn or LSU.

You just switched from recent head-to-head records, to current ranking... are you "touched"?

Pre-season rankings smack talk. Nice.
