Thanks again SEC for screwing the Razorbacks. I wish the Arkansas fans would wake up and figure out that the SEC does not give a crap about us. We belong in the BIG 12. This game means nothing. We again are in a no win situation, and E carolina is in a win win situation. If we win nobody will take notice,and if we lose they will wonder how we could lose to a team like that. Our Athletic director does not stand up for our program.

We are the 6th or 7th team in the conference....hogwild, where did you expect us to go?? We gotta get to the top 4 or 5 in the conference to get a glitzy bowl. 7-5 and 3-5 in conference is not gonna get it. Your comment is off-based. Logically Big 12 makes sense, but why move from a premier conference to a lesser one...and yes I think the Big 12 is about the 3rd best on a good year, but most the time I'd say 4th or 5th best. SEC is the best place for us as a program. Wouldn't mind rotating a Big 12 foe every year though.

The Big 12 probably is the 2nd or 3rd best conference year in and year out. While I think it would be cool to make the switch and be in the top 3 within the conference each year, I can't bring myself to say that we should. The SEC teams would say we couldn't handle the challenge. Our recruiting could go either way. A lot of kids want to play in the SEC. If we were competing for the conference championship each year in the big 12 it might be about the same. I don't know. I can see the pros and cons.

The SEC is the best conference in America. Why switch to the Big 12 it offers us nothing but a few wins. regardless of the conference, geographicaly we're still on the fringe. bottom line they may not respect us now, but beginning next year they learn to.

remember that the SEC took us after the collapse of the SWC. where would we be if not for that.
we could never beat texas because they had too much talent, since we moved we are 500 against them, and if not for a fumble by jones on the 10, we would be 3-1. they no longer scare our kids, because we play a "texas" team 8 weeks out of the year.
if your gonna play, play against the best.
