I'd trade wins for less money. But hey thats just me. But by all means lets continue to get paid a ton to get our bell rung every year.

We wouldn't have the same level of teams in the B12.  Our recruiting base expanded when we left the SWC.  The roster Ford left for Nutt was much bigger and faster than what we had when left the SWC.  The Cotton Bowl in 2000 should have been an eye opener to how we were no longer the small underdogs.  It's why you don't see Morris spending all of his time in Texas recruiting the Longhorn, Sooner and Aggy leftovers.  His time at Clemson has shown him he has to recruit the deep south some too if we don't want to turn into TT and Ok St which would not be good in the SEC.

I do understand being starstruck with Ok St's win totals. 

We took great news about $40.9 million and turned it into another negative about our football program.

Dumb sir you are
Why?   You want to play less competition so you can get more wins, right?   7 wins in the SEC, 8-9 in the Big12, 12 wins in the Sunbelt, 14 wins and a natty in the FCS.   You want more wins, why stop at 8?

Quit telling yourself we don't understand, we do.  You want to move to the Big 12 because the competiton is easier in your mind, that is a p***y move.  If your gonna wear a dress, go all out.  Wear some makeup and heels, shave your legs and get your hair done.

"The SEC's area of dominant influence fell short of the footprint desired by many consumer-oriented companies," which Kramer sought as sponsors. To make the "footprint" more sponsor-friendly, Kramer wanted to move into South Carolina, Arkansas and especially Texas. By targeting Texas, Texas A&M and Arkansas, Kramer had effectively declared war on the Southwest Conference, where all three schools were members.

So we bring Petit Jean Meats? Got it.

I mean if you're cool with averaging like 6 wins a year, that's all you. I'd rather average 9 and still be in a P5.

That Cotton Bowl was nearly two decades ago; you still hanging onto that one?  Might I remind you we lost the Cotton Bowl to OU in '02.

Morris has repeatedly said TX recruiting is a key. What are you talking about?

13 of our competitors got the same check. It's not good or bad news; it is what it is.  Big checks don't create W's.  We've been collecting SEC checks for over a quarter century; I've yet to see significant results from all this money.

Are you kidding me? Chad Morris is going to put a huge emphasis on recruiting Texas. I can't remember the exact number (someone else probably will) but I believe he said in an early interview we would get 10 plus commits/year there once we got established.

And to your point on the 40.9 million...it gets real old because it is used as a crutch. Win 1 conference game at the conclusion of a 5 year integrity/uncommon rebuild? That's cool because someone made a lot of money!
Thanks for the F Shack.

Because we still have a shot at the playoffs in a P5. And I consider P5 conferences as "the big boys." So there's that.

Would you like to make the playoffs? I know you just wanna make it to the BCS but we really can't do that anymore.

Hey ignorant ****, a majority of our recruits will come out of Texas once relationships establish. Which I READ and heard Chad Morris talk about. He even gave an estimated number/year which I can't remember exactly so I won't say.

It is notable that you think otherwise. We will see and revisit...if it is otherwise (similar to Bielema with minimal Texas recruiting success) I'll eat crow.

Who in their right mind would want to play more competition?  Does Wal-Mart like having Amazon around?

It's not too hard for me; I don't play the games nor am I a coach.  I'd say the SEC is too hard for Arkansas to consistently compete for championships based on their performance the past 25 years.  Seems like a large enough sample of mediocrity to draw a conclusion.

Ark and SC weren't the top two that Kramer wanted. Prob the last two. They wouldn't cry if we left or traded with WVa.

Hooray!  I feel so much better about all of those times we got our skulls kicked in last season!
11/19/2023:  Keeping my original semi-prophetic, apocalyptic signature below.  We continue to regret passing on Norvell, who is in the running for the Playoffs.  We continue regret passing on Kiffin, who is eyeing a New Years 6 game.  Heck, we regret passing on Drinkwitz (he may be a dork, but he will have his team in a New Years 6 game after they truck us on Black Friday).

Meanwhile, Sam is drinking Pittman, wondering if he has the leverage to re-hire Enos, Sexton is doing the triple Lindy into his Olympic-size pool full of cash, and thousands of hog fans are planning to dress up as empty seats for next year's Halloween game.

11/25/2018:  My original "Chad Morris" signature is below.  I'm modifying my view as follows:  We will continue to regret passing on Norvell and Kiffin.   After 3 years, when Morris is 10-26, we are going to be saying "What were we thinking?  Even Bert was better than this!"

I can't even imagine the negative recruiting used against us, re: "those guys couldn't hack it in a real conference, so they snuck off like a coward to play Iowa State, Kansas and KSU every week. Do you really want to be a part of a team with that kind of mindset?"

Negative recruiting goes both ways.
With our track record...the past couple of years especially, "negative recruiting" against the Hogs is shooting fish in a barrel. In our society today what happened almost 10 years ago when the program was middle of the road relevant is now essentially...irrelevant. What matters is what is going on "right here and now."

Make no mistake about it, if and when it comes to pass that there is a major conference realignment that makes for an easier path for the Hogs' success (vs being in the SEC West) these same SEC homers will be the first on board.

I can see it now, "Well guys the writing was on the wall there, it just wasn't ever going to happen...this will be 1000 times better."

Enrollment with texas kids would skyrocket more than it is now and that is a lot. Kids being able to go home for the weekend and catch a nearby razorback game would be huge. Huge increase in enrollment, texas recruiting, closer away games, plus poss more wins would prob make up for the $4-5 mill difference. I'm okay either way.

Rarely.  But we would be isolating ourselves into the second tier players in just Texas and Ok with a move to the B12.  More limited options and splitting them with the other B12 members.

A&M gets top tier players in Texas in most classes whether in the SEC or when they were in the B12.  We aren't.

Do you see Wal Mart running from Amazon?   Is Wal-Mart going leave the retail industry and go to cryptocurrency because it EASIER to compete?   If our football team was made up of guys like you that are afraid of competiton, we wouldn't win one game.

K St has been no physical match for us.  Slower and smaller. 

Bobby beat K-State, and Bert beat them with his best team, which had a lot of Bobby holdovers.  K-State could have named the score against us last year against Bert's "uncommon" choir boys.
11/19/2023:  Keeping my original semi-prophetic, apocalyptic signature below.  We continue to regret passing on Norvell, who is in the running for the Playoffs.  We continue regret passing on Kiffin, who is eyeing a New Years 6 game.  Heck, we regret passing on Drinkwitz (he may be a dork, but he will have his team in a New Years 6 game after they truck us on Black Friday).

Meanwhile, Sam is drinking Pittman, wondering if he has the leverage to re-hire Enos, Sexton is doing the triple Lindy into his Olympic-size pool full of cash, and thousands of hog fans are planning to dress up as empty seats for next year's Halloween game.

11/25/2018:  My original "Chad Morris" signature is below.  I'm modifying my view as follows:  We will continue to regret passing on Norvell and Kiffin.   After 3 years, when Morris is 10-26, we are going to be saying "What were we thinking?  Even Bert was better than this!"

Rarely.  But we would be isolating ourselves into the second tier players in just Texas and Ok with a move to the B12.  More limited options and splitting them with the other B12 members.

Are we getting top tier players in SEC states now? Your argument makes no sense.

Do you see Wal Mart running from Amazon?  Is Wal-Mart going leave the retail industry and go to cryptocurrency because it EASIER to compete?   If our football team was made up of guys like you that are afraid of competiton, we wouldn't win one game.
