I think this in itself speaks to the potential of our football program. Look at the universities on this list and it basically replicates the programs that succeed year in and year out...no reason we should not be in the polls, etc, in the same regard. If we can somehow sneak a winning season of any sort out of this year, I think next year's schedule, Cole Kelly, and some older leadership could be a 9/10+ win season and get this thing rolling.

Surprised to see Clemson so far down the list.

 

WalHog2018

Not surprised. Hogs will never be more than an 8 win program.  However, we have so many dedicated fans. We will never drop lower. No matter our record!

I think when looking at "list" like this you have too consider the source. This is clearly and overvaluation of the Big 10.  And were the heck are they getting Oklahoma as number 2? Small state. Small population.  I think Oklahoma and Arkansas should be alot closer than this poll suggests.

Just like recruiting, middle of the road, which yields middle of the road results. 6-6 7-5 forever.

LOL at Mizzou not being on this list though. They have never contributed anything to the SEC.

How about that Big 10 liberal arts school Mizzou at 56. Can some one please remind me again why we added them too the SEC?

People who say it's because of SEC Network TV revenue just don't know or understand college athletics.

Have they ever even one anything in the conference? Seem like a solid 4-8 or 5-7 embarressment every year.

I just think the "brand" of the SEC is severally hurt by Mizzou.

 

WalHog2018

They have won as many SEC Championships as the Hogs. We won't move up till we fire Long. He has lost control of the program. Northern Liberal.

We will never be a power program until we get rid of Long.

How in the hell is South Carolina a head of us? They have two D1 programs in the state with Clemson so cuts the fan base in two right their and then they haven't even won a bowel game until Spurrier took over.  If someone could explain that too me I would like too here it.

WalHog2018

It's because South Caroline has a better coach then us.

Polecat

Actually, we're in about the same spot at South Carolina and Iowa in those rankings. All those programs are pretty similar in many ways the past 10-15 years. Often mediocre, occasional 10 or 11 win seasons.

Can you not do math? SCAR has a bigger number than us.  Also Iowa just made the Rose Bowl. When did the Hogs make the Rose Bowl?

It's probably pretty subjective


Anyone 10-25 is second tier behind the big boys

In 2011, Forbes had us at #9.  Were the the big boys then? We have regressed so much. Too much. We wil eventually become Mizzou.

Right by Iowa in the list.  Good pairing. 
Quote from: MaconBacon on March 22, 2018, 10:30:04 amWe had a good run in the 90's and one NC and now the whole state still laments that we are a top seed program and have kids standing in line to come to good ole Arkansas.  We're just a flash in the pan boys.

This, CBP had us rolling. Then he screwed up and Jeff Long poured gas on the fire.

We can be a top 10 program if we just FIRE LONG AND COACH B. Need a southern coach.

This just proves that Coach B and Jeff Long are here to stay.  The money is rolling in even though we haven't won anything

Yes. As excellent as Ark football can be and we are not coming close.  That is sad and frustrating.

Theres the baseline right there.  The hogs should finish #17 every season.  Maybe some years #5, maybe some years #29 but there's the average.
sometimes it's a good and some times it's a schit

WoooPig2018

Can someone please explain too me why the Hogs cannot be a 10 win program a year? Border Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. Have a winning pedigree.  But ever since that smug Long just his feelings hurt by CBP we have been a dumpster fire. I was at the Arkansas/LSU game when CBP was hear and the place was crazy. Now we are an embarressment. Just a GD shame.

More to it than just $$$.


Once you have enough cash you've got enough.  Then it's other factors.

They had to move that game to make more $$$

Jeff Long is going to run us out of cash! I read the other day we couldnt sell all the north endzone seats.  Will default on bonds.  Credit rating drops!  VERY BAD.

No the didnt. They moved it because Yankee Long doesnt understand tradition.

WRONG. Tradition was sold out for money! Yankee Jeff needs to go back to the Big 10.

Nope. Jeff Long is extremely fiscally responsible. He plans for the worst.

Not endzone seats won't break him

So your saying that Saban is a bad coach?  He was at Michigan State before he was at LSU.

It's kinda difficult for us to make the Rose Bowl since they typically take teams from the Big10 & Pac12...

Do you know the history of Michigan state before Saban showed up?
If a man speaks and no woman is around to hear him, is he still wrong?
