As Razorbacks football sagged 1-7, 0-8, 0-8 in the SEC from 2017-2019 came some Arkansas fans mutterings that maybe the Hogs should turn tail. Flee the SEC for the Big 12, as Bob Stoops once suggested.
Forgotten were Danny Ford’s 1995 SEC West championship, Houston Nutt’s three SEC West championships, Bobby Petrino’s 10-3 and 11-2 seasons both 6-2 in the SEC.
Not to mention abandoning Arkansas prowess in men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s and women’s track, and men’s and women’s golf honed from playing and winning in the nation’s customarily toughest collegiate league that’s unquestionably the most financially lucrative and stable.
