14 Straight Losing seasons on the Road..I can't believe that!

[Mr. Porkleone]

I was unaware util I read the paper today. I am stunned about that record. This is unacceptable! We have really fallen since our Championship season and Runner up season.

What is really the problem? :razorback:

Ouch!

I guess most of you don't bother to read my posts. I've mention in multiple threads in this forum over the last month or so that the Hogs haven't been any force whatsoever either in SEC or nationally in 13 years.

I was not aware of this stat but it does not surprise me in the least. I would have guessed it to be true if someone had asked me this in a true or false format.

The Hogs started sucking in '96/'97 and sucked all the way through Nolan's last 7 seasons. They continued sucking during the 4 years of Heath and while they did win 1 NCAAT game last year, they didn't win the SEC West and couldn't be a ** GA team for the SECT championship. And of course, this year is going to be the worst year in the SEC since the Hogs joined the conference in '92.

Thanks for starting the death spiral, Nolan.

Well the talent declined after 95.  Officiating focusing on handchecks and constant complaining by opposing SEC coaches about our style led to opponents having big FT and foul advantages over us when we went on the road.  And SEC teams learned how to control the tempo better through getting to the foul line, outrebounding us, forcing their tempo on our less talented players and good use of the new at the time 30 second timeouts.  Runs were hard to get started on the road and we were a program that relied on them.  Heath's problems were lack of offensive movement combined with usually poor outside shooting on the road.

Wow, that sucks!! I honestly think Pel will turn this around if we give him time!!

[Wild Bill Hog]

Painful.  I knew it was bad but didn't realize how bad.  Those that think the decline of Hog BB started with the firing of NR need to pay attention to this.

Yeah, ain't that the truth.  Nolan didn't get fired because he won too much.

Nolan wouldn't be 1-7 with this team
As a matter of fact, neither would Heath

but I'll still root for Pel and our young hogs this saturday

There is no reason we should be this bad for so long.  In spite of all of the futility we have displayed since 1995 we still have a much better fan base and attendance at games than nearly all of the other SEC schools.  The only ones that compare with us would be Kentucky and Florida doesn't have the seating capacity to match us.  Tennessee for the last few years might  compete with us.    Therefore we should not have trouble getting recruits to come to Arkansas but we seem to have a major problem getting them to commit.

Look what happened when we played Oklahoma and Texas.  Full house.  Even after loosing 7 of 8 conference games I'll bet we have a full house when we play Kentucky on Saturday.

So why can't we be in the upper class of the SEC, rather than the bottom.
When we first got into the SEC we were the class of the conference with Kentucky our only competitor.

It is about time we reverse that trend.

Yes because 40 MOH would have been so effective with a team with no depth.

you missed the point

We need to open the pocket book and make a change. Pelphrey is not going to turn this thing around. I hate it because I like him however I love the hogs and this is not going to get better

[BayofPigs]

He brought his players to run his system, but turns out his system is not that good

[Pigmund Freud]

I almost wish I had not heard this statistic.. I feel even worse now.

We've held on to a policy of hiring up-and-comer coaches?  Remember, Frank was scared to death of success.
