Booger McFarland takes a shot at AR.

[harrisburghog]

Said AR cannot win a national championship, best we can hope for is to beat LSU and Auburn. Also took issue with how B.B. was fired. Said we should recognize our ceiling. I SAY PI$$ ON YOU BOOGER!!!!!!!!

[HatfieldHog]

Heck, his name is Booger, what should we expect from him?

See ya

[hog911]

Basically he's saying we should accept failure!  No thanks boogie!

[hoggusamoungus]

Since 1894, we've won (split) one NC so the odds are in his favor.

[online-with-swine]

Condescending prick, "look at little ole Arkansas gettin' uppity and trying to win games.  Isn't that cute."  Screw him.

[Torqued pork]

11-29 is not our ceiling.

[ricepig]

He does have history on his side since we joined the SEC. I'd take his side at Vegas if I wanted to make money. Of course, the majority of the conference falls into the same category, so it's nothing earth shattering. That being said, we'll continue to try win a NC!

[hog911]

In many ways he's right: we SHOULD "recognize our ceiling." Our fans are beyond entitled, averaging more than 8.5 annual wins, over time, isn't feasible.

But we're nowhere near 8.5 wins per year, currently.

Bull crap Arkansas CAN, I repeat CAN win a national title and yes further improvements are required! But believe it or not Arkansas is probably the only state that can pull it off!

[kid squealer]

The media historically takes shots at us.  They have their "bed partner" universities and we are not one of them.  Who cares what the nose picker says!  Go Hogs!  It has happened at Arkansas and it can again!

[Bebop]

Heck, his name is Booger, what should we expect from him?

Exactly!

Tell Snot to blow somewhere else.

[hoghiker]

He's right. I'm not sure how you look at the last 30 years and see it differently. BB didn't work out. Everyone understands that. Most of the national media, which is mostly regional media, seem to think BB recovers before we do. I hope we both do well.BB obviously loves Arkansas. Too bad it didn't work out for all concerned.

[kid squealer]

Another thought...what do these talking heads want us to do?  Just fund a program and lay down to let others walk all over us.  I guess we should just play intramurals.  Ridiculous! 

[Hoggie17]

That the same thing that was said when we got rid of Nutt, then we got CBP, he had us in the top 5 his last season and were picked by many to win it all in 2012.  He was fired right when he was getting the big red machine cranked up. We have everything needed to win a NC except the right HC.

Most true fans recognize our situation but No One wants to play the game thinking about a "ceiling".

[HornetHog]

RECRUITING with the Right Coaching Staff ,...and all things can happen.

[Wants2Win]

I'd be fine with a coach that can win 8 and be competitive in the losses. We can do better.

[(notOM)Rebel123]

All the chatter will settle down by this afternoon. The media will have their noses so far up in the Iron Bowl, they'll forget all about us. We just happened to give them some material to carry them from Friday night until about noon today.

Do you take any serious that calls himself "booger"

[PORKULATOR]

We're close

Never Yield

[HawgPilot]

Apparently seriously enough to express concern here...

It doesn't take much to set off a lot of posters.

The only reason he included LSU was because of the number of times we have smacked dat ass.!! This SEC hierarchy of mind F!@# that the league is under is ridiculous. It is how we suffer in recruiting right down to officiating. We saw it in all of it's ugliness as the SEC balked back as Petrino started to make them liars. We do not need to hire any coach who doesn't believe that he can come here and whoop Bama's ass... Period! <-- Is it irony to answer a one word sentence with punctuation that is the exact opposite of the subject word..?

^^^This!  Im sure, from a media standpoint, no one thought a Nolan Richardson could bring a NC to lowly Arkansas. The right players, coaches and system can and will get it done.  Forget the booger and the media and let's not cower down to their implications about our program.  IT CAN BE DONE!  Believe it!

[jkstock04]

This type of stuff is inevitable. These guys enjoy watching Arkansas in the cellar, especially with a nice guy coach. They think you and I should shut up and enjoy days like yesterday.

[HogBreath]

Every year thirteen of the fourteen SEC teams will not win a championship, so we've got plenty of good company there.


Petrino showed that it can be done here, no question there, sadly, we had a self serving AD who used Jessica gate to further his own agenda.  CBP got the blame, and why not, he's an easy mark, but it was Long, who was even more derelict in his duty to the program.

Well, to be honest, Sutton had us knocking on the door a few times.....

[hoghiker]

BB needed to go but I'd bet anyone on this board a stack of pancakes and a bottle of Johnny Walker we don't win a national championship in football in their lifetime. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try. I'd be giddy happy. I still doubt it.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

Well, to be honest, Sutton had us knocking on the door a few times.....

Petrino had us close too. He was as close as we've been in a long time.

Our ceiling? You mean the ceiling we hit all those years when we beat his Alma Mater?  Would that be the National Championship season, the 10 win seasons or the 11 win season? what exactly is the ceiling?

That's funny to me when someone from LSU, which is neither historically nor currently a national program, talking about someone else's "ceiling".

Tell me this:  What was LSU's record from 1970 to 1980? what was their record from 1980 to 1990? What was their record from 1990 to 2000? 

The same people that will tell you that historical wins mean nothing today are the people who do not have historical wins.

And just for arguments sake, what was LSU's record against Arkansas during Booger's tenure there?  I'm too lazy to look it up.

[Hawghiggs]

 Look at Wisconsin this season. Every talking head says that they should not be in the playoff. This is what would happen if Arkansas was in the same position. We would hear from everyone that the SEC is down and shouldn't be rewarded a spot in the playoff.

[The Hogfather]

11-29 is not our ceiling.

Precisely.  Booger is just mad nobody ever picks him.

[EastexHawg]

Condescending prick, "look at little ole Arkansas gettin' uppity and trying to win games.  Isn't that cute."  Screw him.

Couldn't have said it better.  We are supposed to just accept being cellar dwellers and leave the winning to Alabama, LSU, and Auburn. 

I just love having people who couldn't care less about Arkansas tell us where our place is and what we should accept.

[Dark Helmet Hog]

I don't give a rip about what anyone in the national media has to day. They know nothing and will forget about this in a week.

[EastexHawg]

There's the BS fallacy.

No, he (Petrino) didn't. In fact, he never came close. Of this, there's "no question."

Even hyperbole is typically based on a foundation of reality to extrapolate from... Sigh... 

Booger is right, in general.

Okay, what Petrino showed us is that an outstanding coach can win more SEC games in two years than a mediocre to poor coach can win in five.

3-1 vs Hogs
LSU won in '95,'96, & '97. Hogs won in '98.

[/quote Well before Saban came to Bama. They were down, yet he built a power house. I believe if we can start a winning tradition again, we can compete for west title. You win that, we play sec championship game, win that, we play for NC, So that untrue ! The problem we have is outside of the original sec teams, the conference is aligned against teams  such as hogs, Missouri, tamu, South Carolina because we are viewed as outsiders. So we get bad refs and such in big games.

And some guy from Arkansas knows more??

[(notOM)Rebel123]

And some guy from Arkansas knows more??

...probably just as much. Just because someone is on television or radio, doesn't mean they are smart.

[DeltaBoy]

He been pretty nice about us but he just parroting the ESPN line that we are mind our place and not aspire to greatness!

[hogfanmd]

Booger is an LSU guy
He doesn't respect Arkansas
He probably wanted Beliema to stay just like we wanted Miles to stay at LSU
If you let others decide what you can and can't be your likely headed for mediocrity.
The only metric we need to focus on is the ability to hire the right coach

[HawgWyld]

Can't criticize him too much. He sounds like a lot of Razorbacks fans -- the ones who think middle-tier in the SEC West is about as much as we can expect.

[havok]

All these people like McFarland just wants to keep Arkansas down, as a Guaranteed blow out for their favorite SEC teams. They fear we might actually become competitive.

[WhenPigsFly]

Took hits nationally when HDN was fired, too.  Who has wanted to hire him since Ole Miss?

[Dark Helmet Hog]

Boom!

[HamIAm]

In that case lets beat LSU & Auburn

[100%Razorback]

Who? 

[jgphillips3]

We know our place.  We know we can't compete for a title year in and year out.  We also know that we can play winning football and have a legitimate shot maybe once a decade with the right coach and at least play fun, sound football in the other years.

[JONAS]

Didn't he a few days ago report that Gus was going to be our coach?  He knew and everybody knew that Bret was being fired.

[DiamondHogFan]

In that case lets beat LSU & Auburn

Both of thise teams are capable of winning National Championships.  If we can beat those teams then we can compete with anyone.  I don't understand his statement. "The best we can hope for is to beat 2 very good football teams".  Doesn't seem that our ceiling is quite as low as he wants it to be.

[pigmania]

With a name like Booger, you can never be wrong!
