Little Rock goes to 27-3

Of what? 

reasons why we won't be allowed to enjoy UALR's success. It will be used to jab in our eye every chance someone gets.

I swear the purpose of this forum used to be "Discuss the Razorback Basketball team in this forum".

Probably by a few even though the programs' situations aren't comparable.  I don't think it was the OP's intention.  The few posters who did it should be moderated and have their posts removed as should the unnecessary attacks on UALR.  I don't mind being informed of and discussing UALR during tourney time.

this is a Hog forum though. So it was posted here and left here, amid Hog fans.

Why so sensitive?  It isn't like we have much going on.  Discussions have pretty much died except the hyping of the incoming class.

Someone else asked about the forum. I'm just saying it was posted here and allowed to stay here so clearly they aren't too worried about it not being Hog related. Doesn't really bother me either way.

Edit -- I don't see that post anymore. Oh well.

exhibit A as to why we won't be allowed to enjoy UALR's success.

I did not bring up UALR's conference. No, it is not good. No, they likely don't make the NCAAT unless they win the conf tournament. There are leagues like that every year. But they are 27-3, and in this day and age of college basketball, I don't care how lousy your league is, that's still pretty good.

But if it is so easy to dominate a lousy league, when you are on par with them as far as facilities, budget, etc, then teams in other lousy leagues, when they are on par with facilities, budgets, etc, should be able to dominate that lousy league.

So dominating a horrible conference is easy?  Huh, too bad another team in the state could not have dominated the terrible league they are in as well.

A terrible league would be one where you're playing for the only bid available, so you must not be talking about this team.

I've been a Trojan fan and gone to their games since Ron Kestenbaum was coach (that was before Newell).

Remember Happy Mahfouz before Kestenbaum?  He looked like Paulie Walnuts from the Sopranos.

funny but I don't remember you singing that tune while we racked up 27 last year.

I don't remember him.
Kestenbaum was coach when I first started going to the games.

I remember the excitement that followed the Mike Newell team that was led by Myron Jackson and Pete Myers and played its home games in the Statehouse Convention Center.  I went to a few of those games.  It was at the beginning of Nolan's tenure at UA and the Hogs were down, so UALR was what the state had to offer.  That team beat Notre Dame in the Big Dance, then had NC State down in double OT until finally running out of gas.  Even though I'm a lifelong Hog fan, I recall that I didn't feel the least bit sorry that I was rooting for the Trojans to do well.  It's not mutually exclusive.

Yep Mike did a great job and had a good run in the mid to late 1980's
