It took me about a month living in Bentonville to learn a saying that Arkansans live by: Thank God for Mississippi.
The phrase refers to Mississippi bringing up the rear, just behind Arkansas, in rankings such as education, poverty, etc. The point is it can always be worse, and worse is almost always Mississippi.
Well, Arkansas fans may not believe it, but their football program could be worse. It could be Ole Miss.
The future of that program looks to be as bad as the idea to adopt a "Landshark" mascot. What is that anyway?
Razorback fans are reeling right now as Arkansas limps into a game at Ole Miss on Saturday.
