Monday Morning Quarterback / Re: Who did Drink bribe?Last post by TheGrove68 - Today at 03:03:03 amQuote from: redleg on Yesterday at 09:41:05 am2016, 2017, and 2020 Mizzou was not "clearly" the better team. They got the breaks and managed to win, but not because they were that much better. And yes, 2016 was an upset. Ark. has slightly better tradition than Mizzou in Football I agree but only by a slim margin if you want to talk metrics. Your all time Winning percentage is .576 ours is .544 not a large margin by any stretch of the imagination to but it into perspective Ark has won 13 more games than Mizzou overall. We have more Conference titles than Ark. in a tougher Conference to boot don't compare the SWC to the BIG 6/8/12 there is no comparison. Ark. has a won 1 more Bowl game than Mizzou 17 to 16 but Ark. has a lower winning percentage in Bowl games .420 to .444 so it's a virtual push or tie, with us with a slight lead. And Ark. has one claimed national title from the FWAA and Mizzou has two unclaimed titles Poling/Anderson&Hester. I know this is gonna curl your hog tail but nobody that isn't a hog fan doesn't consider the Tide the 1964 title holder with the AP and UPI naming them as the National Title Holders. Now I fully suspect for Some Hog fan to write a long post about how the FWAA was seen by some as more prestigious but that Dog not gonna Hunt Cause the AP has been the gold standard and the Name Bama carries more weight. Ark. Claimed NC does give the HOGS the Slight Edge in Historic Tradition I 100% agree with that. But Other than that NC it's a literal wash. And if you are talking about recent history say the last 25 years then the Average Fan and Recruit is gonna say Mizzou has been a Better program based on our success. There is no Voodo doll at all. Gary Pinkel and Drink have just done a better Job of building a Program with Less resources than your parade of coaches. Hence we have beaten Ark. more often than not. I do agree it's a Contrived rivalry made up by the SEC based on Location and because in Truth it appears both programs are on the same level to a large degree so it makes sense to the Executives making the decisions that we should be natural rivals. I think deep down this is what Bothers Hog fans about the made up rivalry it is a Window into what the rest of the conference and nation thinks of the HOG program and your status in the realm of CFB. You are seen as a Mid-tier program that has had marginal success and clearly is No better of a program than Mizzou and not as good in recent history because Mizzou has beaten the hogs on the regular. I don't disagree that 90% Hog fans want to beat other programs more they should they have a longer history with other programs.... As a Mizzou fan I want to Beat other Programs more than the Hogs as well. Ten. and UK where number 1 and 2 for me since we joined the east. The Hogs where tied for 3rd with A&M but with the Addition of TX and OU they Shoot to the top of course. They hogs could slide into 3rd if we keep playing you all yearly as it would make sense. 2
Recruiting Forum: Kirk's Korner / Re: Danny Saili to HogsLast post by AwholeHog - Today at 02:54:46 amQuote from: ArkansasI on Yesterday at 05:29:34 pmOtis, thanks for keeping us informed. Reading your reports, I'm hoping Suggs will decide to become a Hog.Saili carries his weight very well but I'm sure they'll want to tighten him up some. He's quick off the ball and I think we got lucky to get in on him quick after he decided to leave BYU which was rather unexpected (if there is such a thing with this anymore). Like most fans I'd like to see us get higher player ratings but filling the holes you need to fill is the most important thing. And Petrino always gets some head scratchers as far as ratings go. He has his own system when it comes to recruiting and it usually works out ok. When he was first hired in December of 2007 Tyler Wilson was going to Tulsa and Dennis Johnson was probably not coming to Arkansas either. He liked what he saw in both of them right away. Told DJ he was his top priority RB which is what he wanted to hear all along. He likes lots of receivers on roster and plenty of depth at QB and RB. With the portal now you can get those holes filled much easier than before. It's great for that. But it might cost you some stars here and there. 3
Monday Morning Quarterback / Re: Who did Drink bribe?Last post by TheGrove68 - Today at 02:28:55 amQuote from: @Blue-Chip on Yesterday at 08:10:28 pmArkansas has been playing those teams for a century. Did you see Arkansas Fans storm the field after beating a 5-7 Texas Team? Didn't matter that Texas wasn't good, it was about beating the Texas Brand. Arkansas Fan's don't realize that Mizzou Fans would rather beat Texas, A&M, LSU, and Ole Miss over Arkansas as well. Actually everyone else would too. Correct Mizzou like Ark. would prefer to beat other teams first like OU/TX/TxA$M before the Hogs. 4

Monday Morning Quarterback / Re: Looks like smaller confere...Last post by bennyl08 - Today at 01:02:33 amQuote from: Salty spork on Yesterday at 11:32:25 pmSwim is a product of title 9. Got to have women's sports to offset football. That's why many schools have ladies swim, soccer, rowing and not men's. Fair enough. Undoubtedly the other sports will suffer. Without delving too far out of sports, I think college should be free such that the need for your oldest to get a swim scholarship is gone. If they want to swim competitively, they can do so for fun rather than their education depend on it. That said, COVID proved what many have said all along that athletic scholarships cost the school next to nothing. They could add mens sports to keep title 9 balanced, but we all know they would likely just cut 85 women's schollys. 6
Jump Ball / Re: Khalif Battle names top 3 ...Last post by HognitiveDissonance - Today at 12:42:56 amI hate this.
I really, really, really wanted Battle back. The way he finished the year..it's like Johnelle who? No way Johnelle Davis can out-do what Khalif Battle has already shown in the SEC. 7
OmaHOGS - Extra Innings,The Road to Omaha / Re: The pollsLast post by josh_sec33 - Today at 12:35:50 amAt the end of the SEC tournament, if you tell me we have 20+ regular season wins. 1-2 Tourney wins, and want to put us in the 2-4 seed window? I'd be absolutely perfectly happy with that.

Monday Morning Quarterback / Re: Looks like smaller confere...Last post by Salty spork - Yesterday at 11:32:25 pmQuote from: bennyl08 on Yesterday at 10:26:51 pmI'm talking about if it happened right now or even last year, but I agree. ACC has a good a chance of existing in 5 years time as the PAC has a chance of reforming with the same teams.Swim is a product of title 9. Got to have women's sports to offset football. That's why many schools have ladies swim, soccer, rowing and not men's. Hard to say what happens if football m9ney leaves the equation. But leave swim alone. My oldest is working hard at getting good enough to swim in college. Pick on polo. |
