56-3 was at Auburn last year.

That doesn't erase the fact that in 4 meetings with Gustavius Malzahn, Bert is 1-3.  The 3 losses have been by 18 pts, 24, pts, and 53 points, and honestly does anyone think he has a chance getting that second win this year?  Or will it look more like those 3 loses?

Another fun fact from 1995 to 2011 Arkansas was 15-2 versus Mississippi State.  Bert is 1-3.

MSU was also #1 in the nation in that stretch, and had Dak Prescott. Let's not pretend those was typical MSU teams.

Come on, let's not pretend that we didn't have some good wins under Bielema.

Florida
Tennessee on the road
TCU OT on the road
The Ole Miss wins, especially on the road in OT
Winning in Death Valley

He's going to be fired, but it's not like we never won anything. That 2015 team was fun to watch. The biggest indictment of Bret is probably his consistent ability to lose to lesser teams in those first couple of years. If we had just taken care of business vs Toledo....ugh.

Anyway, carry on.
To be clear, the win over TCU was over one of Patterson's worst teams, their record for the year was 3-9.. might want to kick that one to the curb. Anyway, carry on.
Will I live long enough to see us win again? Will any of us?

To be more clear, they went 6-7, finished 5th in their conference, and lost to Georgia in a bowl game.

So, definitely not one of Patterson's best  teams. But 3-9 is wildly inaccurate.

And winning at TCU is tough, and they (much like Arkansas) under-performed down the stretch. They were ranked in the top 15 when we played them.

Yeah and in 99 & 00 MSU went 18-6 and 10-6 in conference.  Nutt went 2-0 against them. 
In 14 & 15 MSU went 19-7, 10-6 in conference and Bert went 0-2.  I'd say MSU's record during those two time periods is virtually identical (conference record is identical). 
Little known fact, but prior to settling on Guantanamo, the Pentagon wanted to house terror suspects at War Memorial Stadium.  It was deemed to be cruel and unusual punishment and in violation of the Geneva Convention.

Uh...Nutt would not be beating Saban. This is absolutely hilarious.
Nutt beat one of Saban's better LSU teams in 2002 at Little Rock...The Miracle On Markham I    and by the way, tell me some team who is consistently beating Saban's ass right now in the SEC, or anywhere....let's hear it, SFB
The long Grey line will never fail our country.

50% of games coached by Bret Beliema in his first 4 years were against ranked opponents.  That is by far the hardest schedule any Arkansas coach has ever had in the history of the school.
