Do your homework, and please keep up.

Oh, now that explains where Petrino got the cash for the broad.

The ONLY thing SC has that Arkansas doesn't is more in state talent but even still you split that with an in state rival as well as the rest of the SEC trying to cherry pick.

Arkansas is to "big time" of a program to offer a guy like Chad Morris at this point in his career. IMO, they will go after Patterson if he turns them down maybe Charlie Strong since he is from Arkansas. If TCU becomes vacant they COULD make a play for Morris, we'll see.

Now there is one smart girl!

Yeah....that's not true at all. Sorry.

Yet they are still the 3rd best team in the West until proven otherwise. Hard to get around that fact. The pendulum swung a lot faster for USC in the east than it has for Arkansas in the west in recent memory. The main difference is that USC is in the hunt for going to the SEC championship each year while Arkansas has still shown they're having trouble beating LSU and Alabama on a consistant basis. Don't know what team you cheer for but it's obvious you have a ridiculous bias against USC.

As stated earlier, WAY more money, considerably better facilities, and WAY, WAY, more tradition at Arky. What planet are some of you are on?

ok please elaborate on these "better facilities"

Arkansas has better facilities than us.
They have a full indoor practice facility and next year move into a $35 million dollar football operations facility.

Why would arenas and other stadiums matter in a football argument?

Willy B is bigger by about 8000 seats, but their stadium is about to add more.
They too just added a new video board which is the 3rd biggest in CFB.

Their football facilities are better than ours and its fair to say not even in the top 5 in the conference.

aren't we building a new indoor facility also and our stadium is bigger at least and one could argue nicer. I mean this is tit for tat here. You guys are acting liking Arkansas has all world facilities and ours are subpar. Spurrier says our facilities are second to none. So you say he is wrong that ours aren't even better than Arky's?

I'm not acting like ours aren't great just saying that theirs are better
I've been to both stadiums, the only thing we have is it's bigger.
Both are equally "nice"

When you use facilities in an argument like this things like the practice facilities, weight room, football operations etc are used.

Right now the only thing Arky doesn't have over us is they have Bama and LSU in their division and a coach.

I don't know why they'd hire this guy when they can definitely get someone bigger.

How do you claim they have better football facilities then mention they have less seats than ours. If you have been there you would know that that stadium is no where near as nice as Williams Brice.

Bud Walton is very nice. So is Baum stadium. Razorback stadium is awesome.

I'm going to be honest.
Both aren't that nice, they aren't pro stadiums.


Also how is just the stadium factored in facilities?

So just because a stadium is bigger that makes it better? I'm not saying that Brice isn't better, but it ain't by much.

Compared to some of the others in the SEC, they are both nice.

This.

If the argument one has for we have better facilities is that ours stadium is bigger and "nicer" it's not a real good one.

No one is saying they are light years ahead (that's, Bama and LSU)
But they're better
