Top Recruiting Forum Post In A While

[Oklahawg]

It's a loser's mindset and that's why they are losers.  These people can't get past their self loathing to realize that everything was done for a first time.  Man had not walked on the moon, until it was done. Man had never flown, until it was done.  Wal-Mart will never surpass Sears, until it was done, Arkansas had never beaten Alabama in Tuscaloosa until we did it, etc.     

Losers believe that since (insert whatever you want) has never been done it isn't possible to do.  Well, in their world that's true because they are losers and always will be.  Fortunately, these losers do not represent the University of Arkansas.  Instead, we have winners who will go head to head with anybody and WILL win their fair share of recruiting battles and that's why Hog futures have never been higher.

Losers, do us all a favor and take your self loathing, woe is little Arkansas, we can't beat (insert team and coach) for a recruit, etc. and shove it.  Real Hog fans don't need your type representing our great University and state. 

Kudos, my friend.

Some of you whiny types need to read this before every post.

I like it. It's an elegant version of my usual rant about the poor-lil-ole-arkiesaw theme that's so prevalent  amongst a lot of our (for some reason) quite vocal posters. It's ultra defeatist and just plain sad. cheers, compadres.

Hogs beat Bama on the road. Count on it.

I am jealous. I wish I had said it. Great quote.

We are what we perceive ourselves to be. Why not winners?

Many versions of this statement from various people (Henry Ford, Virgil, John Dryden, Norman Vincent Peale, and others), but I've always loved it.

"if you think you can or can't, you're probably right"

I think that CBB and his staff believe they CAN...and I agree.

[JIHawg]

Agree totally Choctaw.

[tusksincolorado]

Over the years I believe similar statements have been posted on Hogville just to later be trashed or the Poster eventually banned...

Glad to see "we" can finally push back the "little ol' us, poor pitiful little arkie" attitudes.

Great quote from Choctaw. Really tired of the "we're snakebit" crowd. Superstition is superstupid.

[AugustaHog]

Absolutely true.  What I love is that this staff has the same mindset you are talking about.  They are not afraid to go into any living room in this country and recruit a kid.  You don't see them shying away from an elite recruit because it may take a little work to get him interested in Arkansas.  Previous staffs on the Hill (cough cough....Houston Nutt) have used this excuse to buy them a little time or give it as a reason for not getting the job done.  Our staff is getting it done, and is instead looking at our state and our campus as a reason why kids would want to come play at the UofA, instead of looking at it as a negative.  I'm looking forward to this staff trailblazing a path through the SEC for our first SEC title.  We can and will be the best!

It could Happen this year. If so do you think we get invited to the Dance? Maybe we should supply the Booze for their punch?

[Biggus Piggus]

Let's see who we get before bitching about who we didn't. And when I say see, I mean see.

[Tomhog™]

Best post I've seen in a long while in recruiting.

[redeye]

It was a great post Choctaw Hog.
