Right on Swoosh!

Let's see....he's built a relationship with his team and the players all respect him.  He shows the players that he is part of the team and can celebrate WITH them during victory just as much as feeling the sting of a loss.  He took a program that was so-so and has made a statement.  Mr. Pickens has invested into the program and now our facilities are one of the best in the entire nation.  I see your point....he's not done much for Oklahoma State.  Jeez......

And before you bring up the "I'm a man, I'm 40" rant....take note that this action elevated his status with the players to the point of almost God-like.  They know that he is there for them and confirmed his relationship with the players by proving he will defend his players when they are attacked by the media.

Yeah...he's a real "doofus".....but keep in mind...the pigs would LOVE to have that doofus leading their "team".

I really don't care, Gundy reminds me too much of Houston Nutt and all the rah, rah.

Oh we'll get a coach and if being a historically top 25 level team is mediocre I hate to fathom what Okie St. and Mizzou are considered. Arkansas ranks in the top 25 in attendance (only one in basketball, football and baseball), revenue and profitability and overall success of it's sports program and is a testiment to it's drive considering that we are such a small state population wise. We are also one of just a handful of schools that where the athletic department is in the black, doesn't take one dime of student fees or taxpayer money for funding and actually gives to the general academic fund. All the while... maintaining top notch facilities at one of the lowest debt loads in the SEC. And.... it's been proven we can hire away a coach from Mizzou from time to time.

And how many D-1 schools does Arkansas sport?

And how many D-1 schools does Arkansas sport? 

Twice as many FBS schools as Missouri. Per capita, that's over four times as many.

Oklahoma does slightly better per capita with three FBS schools, but if you include FCS, Arkansas wins again, big time.

[DeweyBald]

My point exactly.  It's nice to have a choice.

FCS?  Really?  Well, yeah I guess the real schools need teams like that to scrimmage.  Much like Arkansas State.

Look, all I'm saying is the Big 12 is far from being a "joke".  Haters gotta hate, but don't think for a moment you can beat yourself on the chest and say sec like we should bow down.  If there is ever a time for someone to bow down, it should be the sec taking the bow to ESPN.  One or two good teams does not make a conference.  From top to bottom, it's weak and the rest of the nation knows this.  But hey, if you enjoy being the sec's doormat, then more power to ya!

I'm not going to argue with Okie Dokie St folk on SEC vs Longhorn Conference.

Oklahoma St has jack blank on the U of A.

Get back to taking walking orders from the Horns and Sooners.

Will easily be back in the top 10 with some actual winning.

Arkansas just got *****slapped with their 2013 conference schedule.

Butthurt Much?

You post on Tiger Board don't you? Lot's of butthurt there.

Seen worse

Hey, we got our own fighter wing

[DeweyBald]

Yeah, that tends to happen when you only have one choice.  Let's see...root for the pigs.....or the pigs....

[DeweyBald]

BTW....how many national championships do the pigs hold?

[Swoosh]

Make it easy on them. How many divisional football titles do they have

[DeweyBald]

LOL Swoosh!  And with all that revenue...they still suck!  What else is there to do in Arkansas besides root for the pigs anyway?  Speaking of which....proud of our Cardinals!!!!  Now let's end this thing and start the series.

[Swoosh]

If you went by the way they act (their fans) you'd swear they'd have eon the last 20 NCs.  A "Giant" in their own mind, I guess.  They remind me of Nubs, just without the history or success... just the entitlement part.

[chittlins]

BTW....how many national championships do the pigs hold?

One football, one basketball

If you want thump your chest on wrestling, I've track to throw at you. It is not an arguement that you can win. I'm not going to try to compare sizes with Alabama, You shouldn't try to do the same with Arkansas.

[chittlins]

Make it easy on them. How many divisional football titles do they have

Several, but that is not really what it is all about is it. It's about conference championships and we've blown our chances there several times but we get there from time to time and more likely to do so than second fiddle state and mizwho.
