The Blue Board

If you look at their schedule it's pretty insane; Bama, Florida, LSU, S. Carolina, T A&M should all be losses.

Also, how high are expectations for year one?

Arkansas has played LSU pretty even the last few meetings.

Aggy beat Arkansas for the first time in four years this season.

Bama... well they're a different story.

Like I said earlier: I expect Arkansas to struggle for a couple seasons. I would be ecstatic with seven wins next season. New QB, RB, WR, TE...

And Wisky has played OSU close to even the past few times. We are not knocking Arky. We are disagreeing with the argument that Bielema left Wisky for Arky because it's easier to win a NC there. I just don't see it, certainly not anytime soon.

Petrino made Arkansas a contender without ever having a defense.

I hope Bielema can do better.

Maybe Arkansas is a better job... The national perception of the state of Arkansas hurts the university and the football program. We were like 8th on Forbe's most valuable football programs or whatever it was.

I agree with this statement.

Oh Brady

Stauskus has been B1G Freshman of the week in back to back weeks. Not bad for the second best 3pt shooting in the conference.

Wisconsin right now is the 2nd best program in their division, behind tOSU. PSU may overtake theim once the sanctions are complete.

Arkansas is the 4th or 5h best program in their division, behind Bama, LSU, and aTm. Many would put Auburn in front of them also. That is without giving credit to an upstart Miss State team and an Ole Miss team that is bringing in some of the best talent in the nation.

It isn't going to be easy for BB. He may not make it to the end of his contract.

True. But the gap between Wisconsin and OSU is bigger than the gap between Arkansas and the SEC elite’s.

Miss St is back down to the dweller after Mullen leaves, which should be pretty soon. I like Hugh Freeze but Ole Miss isn’t a destination job. As soon as something bigger open’s up he will leave.

BB will be fine. In a couple year’s he should have an elite Oline. SEC caliber backs. A QB who get stretch the field vertically like Russel Wilson.

Now you are just making stuff up. In 2010, Wisconsin beat OSU to earn a share of the B10 title and play in the Rose Bowl. In 2011, Wisconsin lost to OSU on a last minute lucky play, but still won the division and the conference and went to the Rose Bowl. And this year Wisky again barely lost to OSU, in overtime. For Arky be closer to Bama/LSU, it would have to be up their butts. Arkansas hasn't beaten Bama since 2006 and that was by one point. It's a little closer with LSU, but not much, having lost 6 of the last 9.

I wonder if UM will make another run at Paul Harris.

You are reaching. Arkansas has never won the SEC. Never. Not one time. It just hasn't happened and doesn't look to be anytime soon. In that same time frame Wisconsin has won the Big Ten 6 times. 6 times they have won the conference while Arkansas has never did accomplished winning theirs. Do you hear what I am saying? Your opinion of what could happen maybe different, but what has happened laughs at it.

Agree on Miss State and Ole Miss, just pointing out the competition Arkansas has for being the bottom feeder program.

BB could be fine, but he is going to be competing with the SEC elite for kids, and he has no history with the schools down south. I don't expect him to just whip together an elite oline, RB, QB, and defense. He will go 7-5 to 9-3 and will be on the hot seat in 4-5 years.
