You're definitely better than Missouri and even moreso than the Mississippi schools (i didn't realize that was even debated?) but you're not Tennessee dude.



Now now, stay on topic. We aren't talking football history.

USA Today NFL database.

Arkansas = 18 Pro Players since 2005, $95M Gross, 3 Million Population
Tennessee = 20 Pro Players since 2005, $100M Gross, 6 Million Population

Mizzou = 15 Pro Players since 2005, $58M Gross, 6 Million Population
Kentucky = 11 Pro Players since 2005, $84M Gross, 4 Million Population

Also, Kentucky and Mizzou sit geographically the same which is a huge disadvantage.

Yeah ok you're 5 million behind UT in terms of revenue but you're also only like 5 million ahead of Louisville. So which is Arkansas closer to?

Meh... I think it's disingenuous to compare Arkansas' best streak in history with Tennessee's worst streak. Especially when you have no idea who your coach will be. Tennessee is a better coaching job with more potential, a richer history to fall back on, and the support of 6 million people to rally behind them.

Alabama's NFL performance in their lean years was horrible... and if this were 2006, you'd be trying to make the same argument against them.
